While Sony has released the newer WH-1000XM5 model (priced at $398 and not on sale), the WH-1000XM4 remains an excellent product with virtually no significant differences from its successor. This makes the current offer even more appealing as consumers can acquire top-tier headphones at a fraction of the cost of the latest model.

The XM4 model are unbeatable when it comes to sound quality as well as the noise reduction qualities of its active noise cancellation. Well, to be fair, they were unbeaten until Sony’s latest XM5 model knocked them off the top spot of The Verge’s expert guide to the best noise-canceling headphones.

Sony's excellent WH-1000XM4 noise canceling headphones have dropped to their lowest price to date for the October edition of Prime Day. These cans can be yours for just $130.

Prime Day doesn't start until tomorrow, but this deal might not last until then. Sony's Award-winning WH-1000XM4 are now just $129 at Amazon – a discount of $221 (or 63 per cent) on their launch price, and $69 lower than their previous best price.

Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones are on sale for $129.99 at Amazon. That's a saving of 63% on its list price. October Prime Day has not kicked off yet, but we would be seriously surprised if any headphones deal during this shopping event can top the offer on Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones.
