If you're headed back into the office or looking forward to holiday travel, a nice gift you can give yourself or a loved one is a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Sony's line of premium noise-canceling cans has been consistently rated as among the top in the category, and with Black Friday promotions, the company's WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM4, and WF-1000XM4 are back to the lowest prices that we've seen, making them an excellent buy.
Sony's premium headphones are noted to have among the best noise-cancelation technology, audio fidelity, and comfort on the market. Typically, the flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones retail for $400, but now you can save a little more than $50 on these headphones. These highly-rated headphones from consumers, journalists, and professionals are now on sale for just $348!
Among the standout features of the WH-1000XM5 are the eight microphones for noise cancellation, two processors to help with optimizing noise canceling and audio quality based on your surrounding environments, and four beam-forming microphones for use on calls. Sony promises up to 30 hours of battery life along with quick-charging capability that delivers an additional three hours of power on just a three-minute charge.
If the latest Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are too expensive for your budget, consider the prior-generation WH-1000XM4. While the WH-1000XM4 doesn't come with the same modern aesthetic as this year's flagship headphones, they also boast terrific noise cancelation and audio quality. The slightly older WH-1000XM4 also comes with a feature that's missing on the WH-1000XM5.
Sony's slightly older model can fold up for travel in a much more portable package that saves room on your carry-on or laptop bag. This makes the Sony WH-1000XM4 a great purchase for frequent travelers, students, and commuters.
And if you'd rather not deal with the bulk of over-the-ear or on-ear headphones, be sure to check out Sony's in-ear WF-1000XM4. Boasting similar noise-cancelation tech that's found on the bulkier cans, the WF-1000XM4 comes in a smaller form factor that fits in your ears. They're often viewed as the alternative to Apple's AirPods and AirPods Pro lineup, delivering excellent noise-canceling and great audio fidelity for Windows and Android users who aren't locked into the iPhone, iPad, and Mac hardware ecosystem.
The best part? These excellent buds are on sale for just $178, a savings of nearly $102 for Black Friday! And if you don't want to wait until after your big turkey dinner to shop, you can get the savings and the deal today.
