Sony's WF-1000XM6 wireless, active noise cancellation (ANC) earbuds are available for $298, down from $330. This makes it easier for Apple to pair with an Android device than with Apple's AAC-based AirPods, which restricts the AAC format. However, if you select LDAC, Sony’s wireless codec audio format, these earbudlets can play lossless audio even if you pay for a music streaming subscription that allows for the highest bitrate of 990 kbps. The value is for Android users who want the higher audio quality.
