Best Buy's Black Friday event kicks off with an epic deal on our favorite headphones.

Right now, the Editor's Choice Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones are on sale for $278.99. That's $71 off and the best price we could find for an early Black Friday sale. (Amazon is currently offering the same price as Best Buy.)

In our review of the Sony WH-1000XM4, we praised Sony for improving the design of its flagship headphones by adding a rubberized finish that gives them 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.
