"Finding the right pair of noise-canceling headphones can feel overwhelming these days: Every brand has half a dozen variations, and the differences are often so subtle that paying top dollar for the latest release is tough to justify. Sony's newest flagship climbs well past the $500 mark which isn't exactly pocket change. That's why the WH-1000XM4 feels like such an easy decision right now: this proven model is back on Amazon at an all-time low of $228, down from its original $348."
"Its active noise cancellation remains among the best you can purchase: Powered by Sony's Dual Noise Sensor technology, it uses microphones on each earcup to pick up and eliminate unwelcome sounds in real-time. On a plane, it calms the engine rumble to a whisper. In a busy café, it creates a bubble of silence around you so that you can actually hear the lyrics in your music or podcasts."
"Sony quotes these headphones for 30 hours of playback which will even get you through the longest international flights without needing a charge. And just in case you do leave them uncharged, a ten-minute top-up from the included USB-C cable yields about five hours of music. Controls are simple too: The touch on the right earcup means you can tap to skip tracks or pause, slide your finger for volume, or summon your assistant without having to grasp your phone."
Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones use Dual Noise Sensor active noise cancellation with microphones on each earcup to eliminate unwanted sounds in real time. The headphones significantly reduce plane engine rumble and create a quiet listening bubble in busy environments. Battery life is rated at 30 hours, and a ten-minute USB-C quick charge provides about five hours of playback. The right earcup supports touch gestures for track control, volume adjustment, and voice assistant access. Five built-in microphones and advanced signal processing improve call clarity. A Speak-to-Chat feature automatically lowers volume when conversation is detected. The current Amazon price of $228 represents notable savings.
