A couple of months ago, we saw the Sony WH-1000XM4<\/strong> drop to $129.99, which was an absolute steal for the last-gen noise-canceling headphones. That deal predictably sold out in a heartbeat, and there\u2019s no telling whether we\u2019ll see it that low again, but Amazon<\/a> is selling them in black for $178.20 (about $170 off), which would be an all-time low if not for said outlier. You can also pick them up in other colors for $198 right now, though that price is frequently available these days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The newer Sony WH-1000XM5<\/a> have leapfrogged the heap as the best noise-canceling headphones<\/a> for most people in our book, but the XM4 remain a great pair of headphones if you\u2019re looking to save some money. They feature phenomenal audio quality and noise cancellation, which keeps them in the big leagues occupied by newer sets. They also have nice quality-of-life features, including a foldable design and multipoint Bluetooth support, the latter of which allows you to connect them to two devices simultaneously. The XM5\u2019s improved microphones make them the better buy if you frequently take calls while using your headphones, but not so much that we would dissuade you from saving more than $100 by going for the older pair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
