Money is tight these days, and it can be hard to justify most big purchases. While most of the products I review for my job impress me enough to recommend them to a small group of interested buyers, few are worth a universal recommendation, especially at a high price. 

Sony's latest headphones fall into the latter category. At $448, the WH-1000XM6 headphones' price is nothing to sneeze at.
