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.

We're now right in the middle of Amazon's Prime Day event, and after sifting through thousands of "deals" (some great and some not-so-great) we can officially say it: Prime Day is actually delivering the goods this year.

At full price, however, even I had to wince. As good as they are, I don’t personally think they offer a big enough leap over their predecessors to be good value at their normal price. However, with Amazon Singapore offering a SG$120 discount for Prime Day, that's a big enough saving to change my mind.
