Sony's WH-1000XM4 has been at the top of our best over-ear headphones and best noise-canceling headphones lists for a while. Now, thanks to one of the best Prime Day deals we've seen so far, it's an even better proposition.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is $248 on Amazon, which is the lowest price ever for a pair of Sony's excellent headphones. If you are looking for comfortable ANC headphones, this is a great opportunity.

In our review of Sony's WH-1000XM4, we noted its similarities to the earlier WH-1000XM3, but the small improvements Sony has made make it a clearly superior headphone and now a mainstay on our Best Over-Ear Headphones list. They are lightweight, comfortable, and have significantly longer battery life than the Bose 700 and AirPods Max, so you can listen for hours on end.

The 700 has slightly better ANC, but the Sony's noise canceling is still really great. In addition to generally excellent sound, Sony's 360 Reality Audio can be configured to smartly analyze the shape of your ear and allow you to enjoy music in an immersive 360-degree format.
