Beats 360 and Sony WH-1000XM6 take different design paths in premium headphones

A comparison of Apple's Beats 360 and Sony's WH-1000XM6 highlights contrasting design philosophies: Beats opts for a lighter, sportier, highly customizable plastic build with swappable ear cushions and headbands, while Sony offers a more understated, foldable design with a protective hard-shell case. Sony's headphones weigh less at 254 grams versus Beats' 294 grams, and each brand ships with a different accessory case—Sony's rigid and compact, Beats' a soft gym-bag-style pouch.
