In Mashable's review of the new Sony XM6 headphones, Timothy Werth writes that "The sound, noise cancellation, and design are all improved, though we expected bigger changes after three years of waiting." So the new headphones are great, but are they really worth the $450 price tag?

If that seems a little steep to you, it might be time to invest in the older model. As of May 19, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on sale for $298 at Amazon. This deal saves you over $100 on list price.
