Stop what you’re doing: Sony WH-1000XM4 over-ears just dropped back to their lowest ever price

Gentle reader, it’s happened: the modern-classic Sony WH-1000XM4 have just dropped to only £179.99 at Amazon (original RRP £349) – a return to their lowest ever price!

It’s going to be one of the most popular Black Friday deals around, and definitely one of the sell-out Black Friday headphones deals.

They’re not getting any younger, and I don’t care; I’ve been piling the praise on Sony’s slightly older over-ear noise-cancelling headphones since their launch in August 2020, and I won’t stop until they’re pulled from shelves. They’re still the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy (simply look to the top of that particular buying guide to prove it); and now you get to save more than ever before thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday sales.

Like the saving but you’re looking for earbuds? That’s OK, I’ve got a best Black Friday earbuds deals roundup for you, and even a Black Friday AirPods deals roundup if it has to be Apple.

Sony headphones are always among the very best headphones on the market – and naturally, they also feature heavily in our best Sony headphones and earbuds roundup.

They’re ideal for working from home (while the neighbors redo their kitchen or add a loft conversion. How nice for them), or commuting to work safe in the knowledge that the cans strapped across your head practically say “please don’t talk to me”, although there are helpful features to facilitate conversing, if you’ve taken leave of your senses and want to chit-chat…

Products rarely attain the full five stars at TechRadar under intense review, but this set of over-ear headphones does and then some; I’d never felt more sure of a five-star verdict than when reviewing these.

If you’re stuck trying to decide whether to go for this timeless pair or for the newer XM5s, a gander at our Sony WH-1000XM5 versus Sony WH-1000XM4 can help – but again, the XM5 are a more expensive buy. I know which I’d opt for…
