$349.99 Save $121.99

After three years of waiting, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones have finally arrived — and they are expensive. They're great headphones, but at $449.99, we expected some bigger upgrades. They're not that much better than the previous generation, the WH-1000XM5s. Better yet, the XM5s were a pretty minor upgrade from the XM4s. If you're looking to save some money on high-end headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones are still a solid purchase in 2025 — especially when they're on sale.

As of May 27, you can pick up the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for only $228 at Amazon. That's a 35% savings and the cheapest price they've been in months. And for what it's worth, it's also about $2 cheaper than the cost at Sony or Best Buy.

The XM4s still check all the right boxes. Top-notch noise cancellation? Check. Impressive sound quality? Of course. Comfortable fit? Yup. They also offer up to 30 hours of battery life with quick-charging via USB-C. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them the Best of the Year badge of honor in 2020, as well as an Editor's Choice award.
