Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones for$278 at Amazon (save$71)

$278 at Amazon

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the predecessor to two favorite headphones we've written at length about, theWH-1000XM5  and theWH-1000XM6. We've put the WH-1000XM6 and WH-1000XM5 at the top of so many best lists for their exceptional noise-canceling, all-day comfort, strong battery life, great microphones, and, because it's Sony, gorgeous sound. The only downside to this headset? It's$400. And there aren't too many differences between the XM4 and XM5. The main difference is the build style (the XM4 is collapsible, while the XM5 isn't, a common gripe reviewers and customers have with the latest model). TheXM5 headphones  and the XM6 headphones are on Amazon, too, but neither of them are on sale. 

"Sony has a winner here and has lived up to expectations," Matt Miller writes in his review of the Sony headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones share similar features like comfort and sound but offer a slightly different headphone design (the WH-100XM4 is more adjustable) and are much cheaper. So if you want to experience the amazing sounds of Sony but are trying to stretch your paycheck a little further, choose the WH-1000XM4 over the WH-1000XM5. The headphones offer 30 hours of battery life, a 40mm driver size, and Bluetooth 5.0.

So if you're in the market for a new pair of noise-canceling headphones, now is a great time to pick up theseSony WH-1000XM4 headphones.

How I rated this deal

As per 's rating system, I give this deal a score of 2/5.$71 off is a 21% discount, which is decent. We have, however, seen better price drops. During the most recent Amazon Prime Day event, these headphones were actually 50% off. It's unknown if this bigger price cut will ever return. I recommend grabbing a pair while the deal lasts.
