SAVE $170: As of March 24, Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless noise-canceling headphones are on sale for $179.99 at Amazon. That’s 48% off their usual $348 list price.
Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are sitting pretty at $179.99 right now on Amazon, and I honestly don’t understand how they haven’t sold out already. This model still rivals newer releases and usually goes for $348, so yes, this 48% price cut got me clicking “Add to Cart” faster than I’d like to admit.
Even though the XM5s are technically the newer sibling, the XM4s are still absurdly good. The active noise cancellation uses Dual Noise Sensor tech, which is a fancy way of saying “You’ll forget the outside world exists.” It's completely plausible to wear them in a coffee shop full of screaming espresso machines and not flinch. They’re built to drown out chaos.
Battery life? Still unbeatable. You get up to 30 hours on a full charge, and if you’re short on time, a 10-minute boost gives you 5 more hours. That’s not charging, that’s wizardry.
Touch sensor controls let you handle music, calls, and volume with just a tap. Speak-to-Chat kicks in automatically when you start talking and pauses your music, which I found both helpful and slightly judgmental. Like, thanks for assuming I wanted to chat with someone.

The call quality is no joke either. With five microphones and some serious audio magic, your voice comes through clearly without you needing to shout like you're reporting live from a storm.
And here's the kicker. They’ve got multipoint connection, which means I can be watching YouTube on my laptop and switch to taking a call on my phone without the usual Bluetooth Olympics.
I wouldn’t blame you for assuming these are a last-gen throwaway. They’re not. They’re comfortable, powerful, and still very much premium. At $179.99, they’re a steal.
