SAVE 36%: During the Prime Big Deal Days event, both the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones are on sale at Amazon. The older XM4s are down to just $188, an all-time low price, while the XM5s are marked down to $298
From commuters to creators, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 remains one of the most beloved pairs of over-ear headphones on the planet — making this Amazon Prime Day deal all the sweeter. Right now, Amazon is selling the XM4 headphones to the all-time low price of $188, a huge discount. Just last week, we re-reviewed the XM4 headphones to ask if they’re still worth buying in 2025, and we found they held up surprisingly well — and that was before they went on sale like this.
Despite newer generations like the XM5 and XM6 hitting shelves, the XM4 continues to hit a sweet spot of performance, comfort, and value amongst audiophiles. After all, its Dual Noise Sensor technology and HD Noise-Cancelling Processor QN1 combine to hush the chaos of coffee shops, offices, or even jet engines with remarkable precision.
But the XM4’s strength is all about smart sound as well as silence. With Speak-to-Chat and Adaptive Sound Control, the headphones automatically pause or adjust when you start a conversation or move between environments. What’s more, the five-mic Precise Voice Pickup system ensures clear calls, while multipoint Bluetooth lets you switch seamlessly between devices.
Whether you’re working, flying, or just blocking out the world, the Sony WH-1000XM4 remains an audiophile-approved legend, but now with a price tag worth tuning into before Prime Days turn the volume back up.

And if you do have room in your budget, the XM5 headphones are also on sale for Prime Day. The previous-gen wireless headphones are currently $298, a much more reasonable price for most people than the XM6 headphone’s $449 price tag. They have most of the same flagship features of the XM6 cans, but with much-improved active noise cancellation compared to the older XM4s.
No matter which model you choose, these over-ear cans have dominated Mashable’s guide to the best headphones over the years. You really can’t make a bad decision here. That said, we don’t expect supplies of this older model to last forever, so shop accordingly.
