Sony's ultra-premium WH-1000XX noise-canceling wireless headphones are available for over 50% off their original $649 retail price. Secondipity, a Sony liquidator, is offering certified refurbished units with a two-year Allstate warranty for $311.29 on eBay, including free shipping when the "COUNTDOWN20" coupon code is applied.
These headphones are noted to be nearly indistinguishable from new, according to customer reviews. The WH-1000XX represents an upgrade from the WH-1000XM6, featuring a more robust design with a metal frame largely covered in brushed stainless steel and vegan leather. Comfort is also enhanced with a wider padded headband and larger earcups designed to fully enclose the ears.
Internally, the WH-1000XX is equipped with custom-tuned 30mm carbon composite dynamic drivers and Sony's latest Integrated Processor V3, an advancement over the V2 processor found in the WH-1000XM6. New features include support for spatial surround sound, DSEE Ultimate audio upscaling, and Bluetooth 6.0 with Multipoint connectivity. The audio processing is managed by the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, which controls a twelve-microphone array for improved voice clarity.
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours of continuous playback. Quick charging via USB Type-C can provide 1.5 hours of use from a 5-minute charge. The included carrying case has also been redesigned with an integrated handle for improved practicality.
At the discounted price, the WH-1000XX is even more affordable than a new WH-1000XM6.
