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.

If price is your top priorty, followed shortly by audio performance, grabbing the Sony WH-1000XM4s on sale is a steal. If you've got a little extra dough in your pocket, the newer Sony WH-1000XM5s are also on sale for $298, a 25% discount from their $400 list price. That extra $70 will get you fuller and louder sound and a sleeker design. "The noise cancellation in the new headphones is also slightly better, though not extraordinarily different," Mashable's Miller Kern sums up in her review.
