There are just two days left of Prime Day (well, one and a half if you count today!). Deals are as hot as ever, and we're vetting Prime Day deals live. But I will always recommend this one irresistible deal — the Sony WH-1000X4, a pair of headphones that I love. Yes, they may be a few years old, but they're still the best of the best.
Right now the Sony WH-1000X4 are $150 off at Amazon, bringing them down to just $193 in the US. In the U.K., a fantastic £50 discount has brought them down to £177.
So what are you waiting for? There's never been a better time to get the near-perfect Sony WH-1000X4 headphones!
The Sony WH-1000XM4 are not as new as their more recently released cousins, but they're still a great pair of headphones. They really put Sony on the ANC map, laying out the groundwork that the XM5 and XM6 headphones have run with for the last few years.
In some ways, they might even be a better pair of cans than their newer compatriots. They feature similarly excellent ANC, for example, but they cost a whole lot less thanks to their age.
Battery life is good with 30 hours on tap (the same as the XM5 and the XM6), and 10 minutes of charging brings you 5 hours of extra staying power in a pinch. They're comfortable too, thanks to a thick headband and some very nice ear cushions to keep them moulded around your ears.
Sound is very good, as you might expect, with an emphasis on the low end that many will appreciate. They're a very solid pair of headphones at full price, let alone when there's a $150 discount at the table.
If you're looking for a new pair of headphones over Prime Day, you should probably just skip the XM5 and the XM6, unless they receive truly unreasonable discounts. This is a great pair of headphones at an excellent price, and they're no less excellent than they were when they were first released.
