The Sony XM4 are still the headphones to beat – and I’m recommending them again at this incredible low price on Amazon

Here I am again, writing about yet another deal on the Sony WH1000-XM4s. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve highlighted an offer on these headphones in the five years since launch, but I’m always going to give them a shoutout when they remain some of the best headphones available to buy. So, don’t miss this chance to get the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones at Amazon for $198 (was $348).

Why are they still a top recommended pick from both myself as a deals hunter and our team of audio experts? Well, it’s the combination of fantastic sound quality, industry-leading noise-cancellation and impressive overall design, matched with some terrific value for money at this discounted price.

The newer XM5 and XM6 models are now available, but these are considerably more expensive for relatively minor upgrades considering the cost. That’s why the older XM4 remain such a great buy and some of the best noise-cancelling headphones – especially when they are reduced to this price.

In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we originally gave the headphones a much coveted five stars. And, even though it’s been updated several times over the years as new models and options from other brands have been released, that high score has still stuck around.

We said they “deliver excellent noise-cancellation and surprising sound quality all in a lightweight, comfortable design”, and there’s not much more you could want from a pair of premium over-ear headphones.

As you’d expect, they deliver unbeatable sound quality, design, and value. We also prefer the slightly sturdier build of the WH-1000XM4 compared to the WH-1000XM5, while the folding design means they are easier to carry around compared to the newer XM5.
