Forget the AirPods Max: Sony's excellent WH-1000XM4 is about half the price right now

One of the best headphones on the market is now at a spectacularly low price.

The Editor's Choice Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones are currently on sale at Amazon for $278. That's $71 off and one of the best deals we've seen on headphones this month.

In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we praised Sony for improving the design of its flagship headphones by adding a rubberized finish that gives you "a more durable and premium feel." Sony also added a motion sensor to the left ear cup for smart controls that automatically pause or resume playback when the headphones are removed or put on.

Sony continues to be the king when it comes to noise-canceling headphones. These headphones feature dual feed-forward microphones, Sony's dual noise sensor technology, and Sony's HD noise canceling processor QN1 chip. Together, these combine to find ambient noise around you and turn it off faster than you can press the delete key. No wonder why they are still the best noise canceling headphones available.

The 1000xM4s also offer top-level sound quality, so the songs you're listening to sound perfect (now you've got peace of mind to focus on them). Our reviewer praised the headphones for having "enough boom and detail" in the mix to make you hear every note, not just the loudest.
