Sony is responsible for a number of our favorite wireless headphones, and they can make a huge difference whether you're drowning out the commute or a noisy office. The Sony WH-1000XM5 headset is the latest model in a long line of high-end headphones, but you don't have to go that route, especially if you want to save some cash. Right now, you can get Sony's previous-generation WH-1000XM4 headphones with a huge $150 off, meaning you can bag them for an incredibly low $198. That's a $150 discount and matches the all-time low price set a few weeks ago during Prime Day. Best Buy has them for just a couple of bucks more, if you prefer to shop there.

Not only are the WH-1000XM4 cheaper than the newer version, but they are still excellent headphones in this price range. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones pack a 30-hour battery life with support for quick charging, which turns just 10 minutes of charge time into 5 hours of music playback. Using the headphones is a cinch thanks to touch-sensitive controls on the earcup. You can also answer phone calls, and there's even support for activating a voice assistant.

But what makes the Sony WH-1000XM4 stand above similar headphones at this price is its best-in-class active noise-canceling technology, making these a great option for anyone who needs some quiet, whether on an airplane or bus or even in a busy office.
