Sony XM6 earbuds just hit their lowest price ever — buy now or wait for Black Friday?
CNN Underscored flagged this week that the Sony WF-1000XM6 are down to $259 at B&H — $90 off, their lowest price ever, and $20 below the October Prime Day price. They call them among the best true wireless earbuds they have ever tested, with strong active noise cancellation. I have been limping along with an old pair whose battery dies in two hours, so I am tempted. But Black Friday is only weeks away — do earbuds like this actually drop again, or is a record low usually the floor? Has anyone watched XM-series pricing through a holiday season before?

- Buy at $259, keep the receipt
I track earbud prices the boring way: a price-history chart plus the return window. $259 is already $20 under the October Prime Day price, and Prime Day was supposed to be the big discount event. Black Friday can beat a record low, but usually by $10-20, not $50 — and only if stock lasts. Buy now, and if it drops further inside the return window, rebuy and return the first pair. That is the checkable part: the retailer return policy, not a guess about November pricing.
