How to compare these products
This list does not confirm current offers. Before buying, compare:
- The exact model, product condition and seller
- The total cost, including delivery and any required fees
- Recent prices for the same model, rather than the advertised discount alone
- Delivery, returns and guarantee terms, including any membership conditions
Decide which features you need
| Need | Check on the exact model |
|---|---|
| Commuting or travel | Fit, noise controls, storage case and battery conditions |
| Calls and meetings | Microphone behaviour and connection to the devices you use |
| Exercise | Fit and the manufacturer’s stated water or sweat resistance |
| Several devices | Supported pairing and switching behaviour |
| Gaming | Console or PC compatibility, microphone support and latency |
Comfort depends on fit and use. Try a shortlisted pair where possible, particularly with glasses or during longer listening. This guide has not performed a matched test that establishes Sony or Bose as a comfort or noise-cancellation winner.
Check the named models and battery settings
The WH-1000XM6 and QuietComfort 45 need their own specifications. Do not transfer features from a similarly named pair or treat the examples below as a current-price comparison.
Sony’s WH-1000XM6 operating-time guide, checked 4 October 2026, shows why settings matter. With noise cancellation on, Bluetooth music playback is rated up to 30 hours using AAC, SBC or LC3, and 26 hours using LDAC. With noise cancellation and ambient mode off, those maxima become 40 and 36 hours respectively. Settings and use can reduce runtime.
Bose’s QuietComfort 45 specification, checked 4 October 2026, states approximately 22 hours at full charge. That page does not give the codec and noise-control conditions for this figure. It also lists Bluetooth 5.1, a carry case, a USB-C charging cable and a separate 3.5mm-to-2.5mm audio cable.
These are manufacturer descriptions, not results from a matched battery test. Check the source-device connection and supplied cables as well as runtime. For earbuds, distinguish listening time on one charge from a total that includes recharging in the case.
Device support and package contents
For Apple products, check which features work with the exact phone, computer and software version you use. An AirPods name is not enough to establish every feature on every device. Apply the same check to Sony, Bose, Samsung or another manufacturer.
Record charging equipment, tips, case and cables included in the package. Check whether replacement tips, ear pads or a charging case are available and suitable for that model. Do not assume that every pictured accessory is supplied.
Compare retailers and aftercare
Use the Currys guide and Apple retailer guide alongside the terms for any Amazon or John Lewis listing you are considering. Match the actual seller, product condition and delivered price. Check return restrictions before opening sealed earbuds or using them.
A guarantee needs its scope checked. Do not treat a two-year headline as a promise to cover a dropped headset, sweat damage or ordinary battery wear. Compare the manufacturer and retailer terms for the exact item instead of assuming a higher price buys broader cover.
Judge an offer against a dated comparison
There is no verified basis here for declaring one retailer cheapest, all AirPods a better choice for iPhone owners, or one event the annual low. The shopping guide explains how to record the same model, condition and package before comparing prices.
Use the stated promotion end date and current stock. Headphones are not established here as less time-sensitive than TVs, nor as certain to remain discounted into January.
Frequently asked questions
Is Boxing Day or Black Friday better for buying headphones? Neither event is a proven winner here. Match the exact model, generation, condition and package, then compare dated prices. There is no verified 2026 discount range or annual-low finding for Sony, Bose or AirPods on this page.
Which retailer is best for headphones at Boxing Day? Compare the same pair, seller and total cost alongside return and guarantee conditions. A retailer’s name or a membership badge does not establish the lowest price, and a guarantee is not automatically accidental-damage cover.
Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QuietComfort 45 — which is better? Compare fit, connections and the supplied package for those exact models. No matched comfort, noise-cancellation or battery test establishes a winner here.
Are Boxing Day headphone deals new price records, or discounts from inflated pre-Christmas prices? Neither conclusion follows from a percentage reduction alone. Match the exact model and package with a reliable earlier selling price. The shopping guide explains how to keep that comparison meaningful.
Is it worth waiting until the January sales if I miss Boxing Day headphone deals? Check the current offer’s end date and stock rather than assuming headphones remain discounted into January. Waiting may change price or availability in either direction; no general pattern is verified here.
