In the past, the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones have been cheaper, dipping to $20 less than this discounted price. They’re also fairly rarely at full price any more given there are newer models around, but this is still a very good deal. I use these headphones regularly and they're one of my best purchases.

Sony headphones and earbuds juggle several priorities, including ANC, battery life, hi-res sound, and multipoint pairing. However, you may need to compromise on some of these features if you're not willing to spend $300 or more, the minimum price for flagship headphones in 2025.

The top-rated Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are $130 off right now -- but this discount will only last for today.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 are wireless headphones with active noise cancellation and a 30-hour battery life for only $200 if you get them from Best Buy.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones originally launched in 2020 and have long been replaced with the WH-1000XM5s, and more recently the WH-1000XM6s. But honestly, the upgrades have been pretty minor each generation.

My headphones of choice at the time were the Bose QuietComfort 25 headphones, which were then the best things around at blocking noise. You can't get those anymore, unfortunately, but you can find other headphones that do a an even better job at keeping out the noise of the cafeteria or your irritating roommate who just won't stop going on and on about their latest piece of homework (ask me how I know).
