I get to try all the latest headphones as a reviewer — but I'd still recommend the six-year-old Sony WH-1000XM4 for just AU$299

It's no surprise Sony continues to sell the XM4 noise-cancelling headphones, but this 32% saving is a surprise — one that shouldn't be ignored.

I get to try all the latest headphones as a reviewer — but I'd still recommend the six-year-old Sony WH-1000XM4 for just AU$299

Sony's WH-1000XM4 over-ear headphones have been praised for their excellent noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. Even though newer models have come out, these six-year-old headphones are still highly rated and can be found for a discounted price of AU$299.99 on Amazon. Their noise cancellation system effectively blocks out high frequencies, and their sound reproduction is exceptional, as demonstrated by their performance when listening to Janelle Monae's "Make Me Feel."

The headphones also feature a fold-flat design, 30-hour battery life, and a Quick Charge function that provides five hours of playback from just 10 minutes of charging. While the XM6 is a premium option, the XM4s offer a more affordable alternative, allowing buyers to get two pairs of discounted XM4s for the price of one XM6. If you're looking for headphones that deliver top-notch performance at an affordable price, the Sony WH-1000XM4 is a great choice.
