Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones are currently available at a discounted price of $198 on Amazon, down from their usual price of $349.99, making them an excellent deal compared to the newer WH-1000XM6, which retail at $449.99. Despite the WH-1000XM6 being the latest model with upgraded features and design, the WH-1000XM4 remain highly capable, particularly renowned for their impressive active noise cancellation (ANC) performance.
The WH-1000XM4 are favored by travelers and commuters due to their excellent noise-blocking capabilities and foldable design, which allows for convenient storage and portability. A notable feature is the Quick Attention mode that enables users to instantly lower music volume and let ambient sounds in by placing a hand over the right earcup. Battery life on the WH-1000XM4 lasts around 30 hours on a single charge, with an additional 5 hours available from a quick 10-minute charge. The headphones also intelligently pause playback when removed and resume it when worn again, adding to user convenience.
Available in three different colors, all variants of the WH-1000XM4 are on sale, offering a cost-effective alternative to the newer WH-1000XM6 without compromising on essential features and sound quality.
