There are a lot of excellent wireless headphones on the market and Sony makes several of them. While the latest and greatest from Sony is the WH-1000XM5, they can be quite expensive, so going for the previous generation is not a bad idea — especially when you can find them on sale. With Amazon’s Big Spring Sale in full swing, now is one such occasion with the retailer taking $100 off the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for a limited time. That means you can grab them for $248, rather than the usual $348, a solid 28% discount.
Not only are the WH-1000XM4 cheaper than the newer version, but they are still excellent headphones in this price range. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones pack a 30-hour battery life with support for quick charging, which turns just 10 minutes of charge time into five hours of music playback. Using the headphones is a cinch thanks to touch-sensitive controls on the earcup. You can also answer phone calls and there’s even support for activating a voice assistant. But what makes the Sony WH-1000XM4 stand above similar headphones at this price is its best-in-class active noise-canceling technology, making these a great option for anyone who needs some quiet, whether on an airplane or bus or even in a busy office.
Of course, if the Sony WH-1000XM4 just don’t do it for you, be sure to check out some of these other great headphone deals as well.
