Even four years later, the Sony WH-1000XM4 remains a solid choice among wireless noise-canceling headphones  especially now that it's back to its lowest price of around $198 ($150 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. This is largely due to their very good sound quality (which, to be honest, could be just a little low frequency), battery life of up to 30 hours and excellent active noise cancellation. They are also comfortable enough, they can be worn for a long time, and they are unlike the Wh-1000xm5 spare model, they assemble them to facilitate driving and movement.

The XM4 has been our general draft for many years until their descendants are denied, but they are still a great choice in 2024. Yes, you can sometimes find them for less on the used market or refurbished, but if you want a new pair that's never been touched, this is as cheap as it gets (even on Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day).

Although newer models are available, the Sony WH-1000XM4 are still some of the best headphones you can buy today. And they're an even better buy now that they've dropped to record lows.

In the US, you can get the Sony WH1000-XM4 Wireless Headphones from Amazon US for $198 (was $349.99). That's on par with the biggest markdowns we've ever seen, which is impressive considering we didn't participate in a major sales event, aside from some related back-to-school sales.

Brits have a more modest discount, meaning you can pick up this top pair of wireless headphones for £199 (originally £229) on Amazon UK. However, they were once 30 pounds cheaper than before.
