Sony's best noise-canceling headphones are up to 45 percent off
Every model in Sony's WH-1000XM lineup has consistently ranked among the best headphones you can buy, and thanks to Amazon Prime Day, several of the latest entries are on sale. Right now, for instance, the brand-new WH-1000XM6 are available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony for around $428 ($22 off), which is the first cash discount we've seen. If that's too pricey, you can also pick up the XM5 at Amazon starting at $248 ($150 off), which remains their best price to date. Unsurprisingly, the XM6 are the best noise-canceling headphones the company has ever made. The updated drivers deliver outstanding sound quality and clearer vocals than Sony's last-gen model, while a new noise-cancellation chip renders them even more adept at blocking out ambient noise. Design-wise, they're also more comfortable, with a wider headband that reduces pressure during marathon listening sessions. Plus, in a welcome return to form, Sony reintroduced the foldable design that frequent travelers had missed with the XM5. If you're not ready to spring for the latest model, the last-gen XM5 are nearly half the price and can still hold their own. Although they can't match the XM6 in every category, they still offer a more comfortable fit, cleaner sound, and slightly better ANC than their predecessor, the XM4. They also sport excellent mics, making them a great option if you frequently take calls while using your headphones. They're a strong all-around pick, though their inability to collapse makes them a little less travel-friendly than the newer XM6 and older XM4. Last but not least, there's the WH-1000XM4, the budget option of the trio. Despite being the oldest model, they still boast terrific noise cancellation, solid sound, and multipoint Bluetooth support, so you can connect to two devices at once. They also offer the same impressive 30-hour battery life found on newer models and, unlike the XM5, fold down in a pinch. The biggest drawback is call quality, as the mics aren't as sharp as those found on the newer models. That being said, they're currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $193, which is more $160 off the original MSRP. No matter which model you go with, though, Sony's WH-1000XM headphones remain some of the best options available — and with these Prime Day discounts, now is a great time to upgrade.

Get Sony headphones for the incredibly low price of just $38 for a short time
Sony has undoubtedly made the best headphones of the year with their new WH-1000XM6. But those things are expensive and you probably want to keep them in a safe place at home. If you like the Sony fit and want to take a pair of serviceable headphones from the brand with you wherever you go, you really can't beat a price of just $38. Right now, with this deal, you can get a pair Sony WH-CH520 for that price — $22 off of their usual $60. Tap the button below to see the budget headphones you should pick up today, or keep reading to get our take. Why you should buy the Sony WH-CH520 If you already use more premium Sony headphones, you'll actually not be in for much of a shock when it comes to a lot of the features the Sony WH-CH520 are offering. They have a 50 hour battery life, a 1.5 hours in 3 minutes quick-charge feature, USB-C charging, multipoint connection, and EQ customization through Sony's Headphones Connect app. And, like a lot of Sony headphones these days, you can track them with Google's Find My Device if you pair them up properly. If you take frequent calls, these headphones even have hands-free calling. The only notable feature that Sony headphones are known for that aren't present in the WH-CH520 is ANC, but that's to be expected at headphones of this price level — the 1More SonoFlow, which typically retail between $75 and $80, are your best bet if you absolutely must have ANC. All in all, these are very feature rich headphones for the price, and with their soft earcups you'll likely be happy wearing them for hours on end. Again, the WH-CH520 are perfect for taking along with you to coffee shops where you wouldn't dare leave your WH-1000XM6 or WH-1000XM5 unattended.

Sony reportedly cancelling some Xperia 1 VII pre-orders without notice
Shortly after Sony announced the Xperia 1 VII flagship phone, the company launched a pre-order campaign in many European countries with a free set of Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones.. However, some users on Reddit are reporting an issue with the pre-orders. Many customers are finding out that their order is being cancelled without any prior notice or explanation. A few claim that they were told to place another order, but since the free headphones promo had just expired they might not be receiving them. The reports come from all over the continent, including the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, France and others. And there's still no official statement from the company, so users are left wondering and speculating what the reason could be. It could either be an issue with Sony's systems or it could be the case of the company underestimating the demand for its latest flagship. After all the majority of customers report that their Xperias and Sony headphones are being shipped successfully. Hopefully everyone gets some clarification soon and Sony does things right with its fans. Thank you, Josip, for bringing this to our attention. Source Sony Xperia 1 VII 5G
