Sony WH-1000XM4

Prime Deay deals of 2021 are coming to a close, but there is still no shortage of Prime Day headphone deals. If you've been holding off on your big wireless headphone purchase, waiting for Prime Day to unearth a crazy, last-minute deal, it's time to pull the trigger. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, you shouldn't pass on Amazon's offer for the Sony WH-1000XM4 that slashes $100 off their price, making them more affordable at a discounted price of $248 from their original price of $348. This deal is only available today - less than 12 hours left of Prime Day!

The Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones are Digital Trends' top option among the best headphones for 2021 partly because of their top-tier noise-canceling feature, which is enabled by additional microphones that isolate sounds and the Dual Noise Sensor technology that captures ambient noise then applies noise-canceling processing in real time. The wireless headphones also offer excellent sound quality with the help of Sony's digital music upscaling tech, DSEE Extreme, which uses onboard artificial intelligence to compensate for the loss of quality when the music gets compressed.
