As part of an ongoing Cyber Monday deal, you can pick up a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones for just $228, which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen them at.
What’s significant about this deal is that the XM4s are some of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Sure, they’re technically Sony’s last-gen noise-cancelers but don’t let that fact knock just how good these headphones actually are.
While the latest flagship model, the WH-1000XM5s, have slightly better sound, it’s not significant enough to warrant spending an extra $120 (the XM5s are Sony WH-XB910Nalso on sale right now at their lowest price ever at $348). The XM4s still offer similar battery life, have an incredibly comfortable over-ear design, and deliver rich, quality audio that’s made better by its intuitive EQ settings.
What this means is that the sum of the XM4’s parts aren’t too dissimilar from the XM5 — yet they cost quite a bit less. Put plainly, this is a legitimate steal for one of the best pairs of headphones you can buy. They’re perfect for drowning out noise while working from home (or a local coffee shop) and are a must-have for the frequent traveler.
