Get a free $30 Amazon gift card when you buy the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones

Engadget23-06-2025
Noise-cancelling headphones are a must-have for anyone who travels often and wants to drown out airplane noise, commuters who want some peace and quiet amongst the crowds and anyone else looking to dull the daily chaos of life. Sony's 1000X line has had our favorite noise-cancelling headphones for a long time, and it remains the same now with the latest edition to that family. Sony released the WH-1000XM6 edition of its wireless noise canceling headphones in May, and really the only downside about them is their new, higher price tag.
But if you're on the market for a new pair of cans right now, Amazon will throw you a bone if you opt for the XM6. Right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones plus a free $30 Amazon gift card for $448. While you're not saving much on the price of the headphones (a whopping $2), you're getting a $30 gift card for free on top of it, which you can use towards anything else you want to buy on Amazon.
Sony released the WH-1000XM6 headphones three years after their predecessor, but the new model quickly proved to be worth the wait. We gave the M6s a 94 in our review thanks to features like improved sound and better active noise cancelation. One of the best things about this model compared to the M5s is the return to a folding design — I love my M5s but it's very annoying that they don't shrink at all. The M6s are also very comfy and have a wider headband for easy wear.

No plans to get Big Tech to pay digital law compliance costs, EU tech chief says

By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Commission will not ask Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta Platforms and Microsoft to pay the cost of monitoring their compliance with a new digital law, the EU tech chief said on Wednesday. Germany and European Parliament lawmakers have lobbied for a supervisory fee to be levied on Big Tech to help EU antitrust regulators better enforce the Digital Markets Act. The European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, who is responsible for the technology sector, said rules were always under review and she would monitor developments, but had no plans to make the companies pay despite the enormous volume of monitoring work. "So it's always, of course, there is this possibility, but now we are not having any new proposal on that," Virkkunen told Reuters in an interview. The landmark legislation, which has been enforced since 2023, sets out a list of dos and don'ts aimed at curbing the six companies' power and giving consumers more choice. The group of Big Tech companies, which includes were picked because they provide a core platform service for business users. Proponents of a DMA supervisory fee said it should be similar to the levy imposed on big online platforms subject to another piece of legislation called the Digital Services Tax that requires companies to do more to police content on their sites. The digital services supervisory fee amounts to 0.05% of a company's annual worldwide net income.

Amazon Is Going Wild, Anker Earbuds Now 50% Off and Flying Off the Shelves

If you're not keen on dropping nearly $300 on a pair of AirPods Pro, there are plenty of quality alternatives at more reasonable price points. Anker's Soundcore line has established a strong reputation for delivering impressive sound at a fraction of the cost of premium competitors. Right now, Anker Soundcore P20i earbuds are available on Amazon for $19, reduced from $40, which is an all-time low price. This limited-time offer slices the price by 50%, which makes it hard to find a better deal for earbuds that combine both performance and features. See at Amazon The earbuds contain big 10mm drivers, which drive strong and room-fill sound with deep bass. Audio fans who love their bass will appreciate how the bass is strong without sacrificing definition in vocals and instruments. All music types sound out richly detailed, owing to tuning in these drivers. You don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate the richer sound experience than standard low-end wireless earbuds. With Bluetooth 5.3, the P20i earbuds offer a reliable connection to your devices with minimal lag and dropouts. They pair quickly and easily, and allow you to get started listening in just seconds. The earbuds remain in place and feel secure in your ears with their classic in-ear design, which makes them a perfect choice if you like to listen while on the move. The Soundcore app brings in customization, which is great: Instead of simply accepting pre-set sound profiles, you can tailor your listening experience to 22 predefined EQ presets or customize the controls to your liking. Just in case you ever misplace an earbud, the handy 'Find My Earbuds' feature in the app will make the earbud produce a sound so that you can locate it and save yourself some time and annoyance. What's more, you get up to 10 hours of playback on a charge which is long enough for almost any journey to work or the gym. With the charging case included in the box, total listening time is upped to 30 hours. If you are short of time and your battery runs out, a 10-minute rapid charge gives you a very respectable 2 hours of playback. The Soundcore P20i earbuds are also water-resistant and give you peace of mind when you get caught in the rain or drenched with sweat from a long gym session. They're built for your everyday life, whether that's heavy exercise or walking across town. Calling is also a breeze with the dual microphones and AI-enhanced noise reduction which pick up your voice loudly and clearly even amidst heavy background noise. At just $19, it's a steal unlikely to last long. See at Amazon

Prediction: These 2 AI Stocks Will Rebound in the 2nd Half

Key Points One of these stocks finished the first half unchanged, and the other fell in the double-digits. Both represent great long-term bets, and at today's reasonable prices, are ripe for a rebound. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Over the past two years, investors put their money into an industry set to become the next big thing in technology: artificial intelligence (AI). This billion-dollar market is set to reach into the trillions in a few years as it potentially changes the way business is done and how our daily lives are organized. All of this is great news for companies that get in early and play a key role, and investors, recognizing this, drove these stocks higher. But, earlier in the first half, many of these players lost their momentum. Investors worried that President Trump's import tariffs would hurt economic growth -- and that made any high-growth industry, such as AI, vulnerable. AI stocks and other growth players led declines in April on these concerns. In recent weeks, though, signs have emerged that headwinds may not be as strong as expected -- the U.S. has been negotiating tariffs with other countries, for example -- and this has helped optimism return to the stock market. The S&P 500 even reached record highs in recent days. Now, my prediction is the following two AI stocks -- one that stagnated and another that fell in the double-digits in the first half -- will rebound in the second half of the year. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock, after rising early in the year and dropping on import tariff concerns in April, then began to rebound -- and finished the first half unchanged. Today, there's reason to believe the positive momentum will continue and this stock will climb in the second half. It's important to remember that Amazon is a well-established leader in both e-commerce and cloud computing and has delivered earnings growth over many years. So, investors who may have been a bit skittish about investing a few months ago may feel more comfortable with Amazon than with a newer player that hasn't yet proven itself. The company also revamped its cost structure a few years ago, a move that helped it through the challenge of higher inflation and that should help it face other cost challenges in the future -- such as import tariffs. Amazon also is well positioned to benefit as the AI boom continues as the company is a user and a provider of AI. In e-commerce, Amazon uses AI across its fulfillment network to gain in efficiency, lowering its cost to serve. And Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud business, offers customers a wide range of AI products and services -- from chips to a fully managed service that gives users access to AI models they can tailor to their needs. All of this has helped AWS reach a $117 billion annual revenue run rate. Right now, Amazon trades for 36 times forward earnings estimates, a reasonable price that could attract investors in the second half -- and help this top AI stock to rebound. 2. Apple Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has faced two problems in recent times. The company has been slower than other tech giants to adopt AI, and it also is viewed as a player that may suffer the most from import tariffs due to its reliance on production abroad -- most iPhones have generally been manufactured in China. All of this has weighed on Apple stock, and in the first half, the shares fell 18%. Though the headwinds haven't disappeared, the situation is improving. Apple is in the early days of its Apple Intelligence growth story, meaning this array of AI features could offer a catalyst for growth in the quarters to come. And, as mentioned above, trade negotiations are happening -- it's also important to note that the U.S. is unlikely to make decisions that would destroy the earnings potential of one of its biggest companies. Apple is the third-largest in market value after Nvidia and Microsoft. And, like Amazon, Apple is a company that's proved itself over time, delivering many years of earnings growth into the billions of dollars. It also has a solid brand moat, with customers flocking to the iPhone -- the world's No. 1 smartphone -- regardless of the price or wait time for the latest release. Investors looking for a growth pick that doesn't come with a great deal of risk may notice these points. Finally, this established leader also has a newish growth driver, and that's services revenue. Now that it has more than 2.2 billion devices active worldwide, these devices, are bringing in recurrent revenue through services subscriptions -- from cloud storage to digital content. All of this could prompt investors to set aside near-term challenges and get into Apple today at a bargain 29 times forward earnings estimates -- and that could power shares of this solid long-term stock higher in the second half.
