There are a few undeniable truths in this world: the sky is blue, Mario Kart is always a good idea and Sony’s 1000X line of headphones is amazing. The latter was proved true once again when Sony released the WH-1000XM6 edition of its wireless noise canceling headphones in May. The only downside is its price, coming in at $450 — $50 more than its predecessors launch price.

Amazon is throwing all of us a bone, though, and having a sale of sorts. Right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones and a $30 Amazon gift card for $448. Yes, that is $2 less than the headphones on their own. It’s no secret that the “bundle” serves as a nice incentive to buy Sony’s new headphones from Amazon, but, hey, a $30 gift card never hurt anyone.

The gift card is basically for free with your headphone purchase.

$448 at Amazon

Sony released the WH-1000XM6 headphones three years after their predecessor, but the new model quickly proved to be worth the wait. We gave the M6s a 94 in our review thanks to features like improved sound and better active noise cancelation. One of the best things about this model compared to the M5s is the return to a folding design — I love my M5s but it’s very annoying that they don’t shrink at all. The M6s are also very comfy and have a wider headband for easy wear.

For a limited time, NordVPN is offering up to 76% off on two-year subscription plans. As a bonus, select plans also include an up to $50 Amazon gift card if you keep your subscription for at least 31 days. The deal only applies to NordVPN’s 2-year plans, which require you to pay in full at sign-up, and the discount and Amazon gift card amount change depending on which plan you buy. Here’s a look at the options:

NordVPN 2-Plan Deals

Basic — $81.36 for the first 24 months (normally $278.16 per 24 months)
Plus — $105.36 for the first 24 months (normally $359.76 per 24 months) – Also includes $20 Amazon gift card
Complete — $129.36 for the first 24 months (normally $439 per 24 months) – Also includes $40 Amazon gift card
Prime — $177.36 for the first 24 months (normally $743.76 per 24 months) – Also includes $50 Amazon gift card

While all four 2-year NordVPN plans are discounted, only the Plus, Complete, and Prime plans include Amazon gift cards. Each plan includes differing features, which we’ve outlined below.

Note that the discounted price only applies to the first 24-month purchase. After the promotional period, all subscriptions roll over to the full standard price unless you cancel ahead of time. NordVPN also offers a full 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you change your mind within the first month of service, you can cancel for a full refund. However, the Amazon gift card bonus is only delivered if you keep your 2-year Plus, Complete, or Prime plan for 31 days.

It’s worth mentioning that NordVPN also offers annual and monthly subscription options, although these plans aren’t as steeply discounted and do not include the Amazon gift card freebie.
