Save 40% on Sony’s WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling headphones this Amazon Prime Day

These sophisticated (and now £141 cheaper) cans are well worth a listen

The rich and full audio quality really impressed in our review (The Independent)

Listen up savvy shoppers – we’ve just spied a deal on Sony’s noise cancelling wireless headphones that’s worth tuning in for this Amazon Prime Day.

As one of the biggest shopping events of the year – second only to Black Friday – the sale spectacular is a well-known treasure trove when it comes to tech deals. Whether you’re looking to save big on an iPad, FitBit or a big ol’ OLED telly, now is the time to make your move.

Ears were already pricked up when Amazon dropped the price of Apple’s AirPod pros by a whopping £179, so audophiles will be pleased to know that there’s yet another stellar saving to be had – Sony’s WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling wireless headphones are now on sale for £141 less too.

Not just any old pair of cans, we crowned these the best wireless headphones in our edit, before the newer WH-1000XM5’s took their place a few of months ago, so it’s safe to say you (and your ears) are in good hands here.

In our in-depth review, we spoke highly of the “class-leading” headphones: “It’s rare to experience a pair of wireless headphones with this level of audio subtlety and technical prowess” our reviewer said. But for more information on the discount, you’ll have to keep reading.

Sony WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling wireless headphones: Were £350, now £209, Amazon.co.uk

From voice assistant to hands-free calls, these headphones have plenty of handy features. Owing to the speak-to-chat function you can even turn down the volume by speaking aloud, or alternatively, placing your hand on the earphone. Changing track should be simple too, with just a tap or swipe on the cup, rather than fiddling around with controls on your phone.

They should also survive up to 30 hours on one charge (with noise cancellation on) and, when reviewing them, our tester was impressed by their full, high quality sound and sophisticated noise cancellation. “The audio quality on offer is top of the tree, with barely a foot put wrong,” they said.

Touted as comfortable enough you might forget you were wearing them, our tester described the cups as “snug but never too tight, providing even tension on both sides and a good level of physical, or passive, noise cancellation without resorting to an uncomfortable clamping.”

We appreciate that these are still pretty pricey for a pair of headphones. But, with a 40 per cent discount – that equates to £141 saved – there’s really no time like the present to invest.
