Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM4 headphones are $120 off right now

Our absolute favorite ANC headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM4, are now $120 off on Amazon at a price of $228. That’s 34% off the normal price and given the value you’ll get out of them if you travel a lot, you absolutely have to pick these things up.

Why do we like the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones?

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones represent a significant advancement in the line, showcasing Sony’s dedication to combining high-quality sound with cutting-edge technology. These over-ear headphones, with their sleek and minimalist design, come in a variety of colors including classic black, silver, and a limited-edition midnight blue. The build quality is top-notch, featuring comfortable, cushioned ear cups and a headband that’s designed for prolonged usage without causing discomfort. The materials used strike a balance between durability and lightness, making these headphones both robust and comfortable for extended periods.

In terms of audio performance, the WH-1000XM4 headphones are a marvel. They are equipped with Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which provides exceptional noise cancellation, immersing the listener in a world of pure sound. This technology effectively eliminates background noise, whether in a bustling city or aboard a noisy flight, allowing for an uninterrupted listening experience. The sound quality is equally impressive, delivering crisp, clear highs and deep, resonant bass. The headphones also support High-Resolution Audio, LDAC, and AAC codecs, ensuring the best possible sound quality over a Bluetooth connection.

The WH-1000XM4 headphones are also packed with smart features that enhance the user experience. They include intuitive touch controls on the ear cups for easy navigation through music tracks, volume control, and calls. The headphones also offer Speak-to-Chat functionality, which automatically pauses the music when the user starts talking, resuming playback when the conversation ends. Furthermore, the headphones are equipped with advanced sensors that detect whether they are being worn and pause playback when removed. The battery life is exceptional, offering up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge, and a quick charging feature that provides five hours of playback with just ten minutes of charging. These features, combined with Sony’s Headphones Connect app, which allows for customization of sound settings, make the WH-1000XM4 headphones a perfect blend of sound quality, convenience, and innovation.

At $228 you honestly can’t go wrong. I’d even recommend dumping your Bose if you’re traveling quite a bit and need something for the plane.
