Sony rolled out the latest version of its formidable flagship wireless noise-cancelling headphones late last year, and the Sony WH-1000XM4 has proven to be not merely excellent, but some of the very best headphones you can buy in its class. The XM4 lists for $348, so you usually have to pay dearly for the privilege of owning them. The good news is that thanks to an excellent Amazon Prime Day deal, the Sony WH-1000XM4 has never been more affordable.

SonyNow that Prime Day 2021 has officially kicked off, the Sony WH-1000XM4 is selling for $248. That’s 29% off, and the lowest price we’ve ever seen for these headphones (previously, the lowest price was $278). Frankly, that's a bargain considering that these Sony headphones are the best noise-cancelling headphones I've ever reviewed.
To make the WH-1000XM4, Sony took its original noise-cancelling headphones (the XM3) and improved the noise detection and cancellation. The new headphones also feature Sony's Edge-AI, designed to recover audio that's lost during digital compression. The WH-1000XM4 still uses the QN1 processor (whose sole purpose is noise cancellation), but now uses a new algorithm developed to eliminate noise in real time. It's great at blocking out engine noise (important for travelers), conversations and general ambient background sounds. The WH-1000XM4 can even detect how your personal sonic profile changes when you're wearing glasses and adjusts accordingly.
Once you put them on, you'll be amazed at how insanely quiet your universe becomes. The noise cancellation of the Sony WH-1000XM4 is better than the original, and not unlike stepping off a busy street into a library.
Incidentally, if you're actually doing that, these headphones are smart enough to detect when you're walking and can adjust the level of noise cancellation automatically so that you have the right amount of ambient sound when moving but none while you're standing still. You can even use the app to enabled the headphones to let voices pass through (so that you don't miss PA announcements, for example).
Finally, allow me to point out one of my favorite new features: You can easily pair the WH-1000XM4 with multiple devices in much the same way as the AirPods Max. Intrigued? You’re unlikely to see a deal this low again until Black Friday this fall.
