1 week ago | soundguys.com | Edgar Cervantes

Christian Thomas / SoundGuysThe AirPods Max have a premium aluminum finish, but weigh more. If you take a look at our list of the best headphones, you’ll notice that two models are at the top: the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the Apple AirPods Max. These are both amazing, but they are also pricey. Luckily, there are some nice deals on both of them today.
I would buy these 3 earbuds instead of the AirPods Pro

Chase Bernath / SoundGuysThe AirPods Pro 2 are unquestionably great wireless earbuds. They’ve held their place on our list of the best wireless earbuds on the market, and they’ve only improved over the years as Apple has added features through firmware updates. That said, not everyone has an iPhone, nor does everyone want to spend hundreds of dollars on their earbuds. So, while the AirPods Pro 2 are good, they are not an ideal choice for everyone.
I won't buy the Sony WH-1000XM7 without these features

Christian Thomas / SoundGuysThe Sony WH-1000XM6 stand proud as one of the best wireless headphones you can buy right now. Rectifying some of their predecessors’ pain points, including the fragile hinge system, the XM6 represent a worthy update for some. However, I’d be remiss not to admit my disappointment that Sony omitted notable feature upgrades. Rather than headphones expected to last the next five years, the XM6 serve as a modest improvement with a high price tag.
Wireless earbuds are about to become more essential than your smartphone

1 week ago | soundguys.com | Adam Birney

I wear wireless earbuds nearly every day, whether to tune out the city on the bus ride to and from work, taking calls on the go, or getting into the zone with my music at the gym. It’s almost to the point where if I leave the apartment without them, I feel naked, like I’ve forgotten my phone or keys. For many, wireless earbuds have become essential devices for music listening, communication, and noise cancelation in daily life.

Sony WH-1000XM6 are our favorite headphones right now. Christian Thomas / SoundGuysThe softshell case is more durable than it looks, and fairly minimalist. The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones only launched a month ago, and they are already at the top of our list of the best headphones available. Given their popularity, it makes sense that Sony needs to give people no incentives for these to fly off the shelves.

Chase Bernath / SoundGuysAirPods are largely considered the default earbud option these days. Even Apple has stated that AirPods Pro are “the single-best selling headphone in the world“. While AirPods do provide a lot of value for those in the Apple ecosystem, they aren’t perfect. Apple may have finally added active noise canceling to the AirPods 4, but they still lack swappable ear tips.
The five best Sony WH-1000XM6 alternatives

The Sony WH-1000XM6 launched on May 15, 2025, and quickly topped our list of the best Bluetooth headphones. With excellent active noise canceling, industry-leading microphone quality, and top-class audio, there’s plenty to love about them. However, Sony stapled an eyewatering price tag to its latest and greatest over-ears. While they stand out in many ways, rival headphones will serve listeners with specific needs better in the long run.
