Sony's best headphones – the exceptional WH-1000XM4 – get a big price cut
Down to a record-low price in the US
Even though there's a newer model available, the Sony WH-1000XM4 remain some of the best headphones you can buy today. And they're now an even better buy as they've fallen to a record-low price.
Over in the US, you can get the Sony WH1000-XM4 Wireless Headphones at Amazon US for $198 (was $349.99). This matches the largest price reduction we've ever seen and is impressive to see considering we're outside of the major sales events – outside of the somewhat relevant back-to-school sales.
For those in the UK, there's a more modest discount, meaning you can get this pair of the best wireless headphones at Amazon UK for £199 (was £229). They have been £30 cheaper than this in the past, though, so while this saving is decent it has been bested before.

This over $150 saving on the Sony WH-1000XM4 brings these five-star noise-cancelling wireless headphones back down to their lowest-ever price. This is almost certainly the biggest discount we'll see in months and is unlikely to be beaten even when Black Friday rolls around in December.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones have dropped below the £200 mark in the UK. They may be slightly older cans but with this discount versus the usual sales price, they’re more affordable than ever. Note, though, they have been £30 cheaper before. There’s not much in it between these and the newer XM5 so consider this purchase a huge bargain. You get unparalleled noise cancellation, DSEE Extreme audio upscaling, and a wealth of essential features.
In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we loved how great the noise cancellation was, instantly sticking them to the top of our best noise-cancelling headphones list—where they’ve continued to stay.
They offer unbeatable sound quality, design, and value. The WH-1000XM4s are the perfect all-rounder and have seamless ANC that keeps you locked in a sonic world. We also prefer the slightly sturdier build of the WH-1000XM4 compared to the WH-1000XM5. That is why we consider them the best Sony headphones around and, believe us, the competition is vast in this field.
The XM5 has slightly better ANC and speedier fast charging, but for most people, this isn’t a dealbreaker, especially not at these prices.
If this deal somehow hasn’t instantly tempted you, other headphone deals are available now, as well as an array of noise cancelling headphone deals. And there are bound to be more from other manufacturers such as Bose, Beats and Apple in the upcoming Labor Day sales.
