Sony has had the noise-cancelling headphone market all wrapped up for the past few years, with is ludicrously well reviewed WH-1000XM3, WF-1000XM3 and brand new WH-1000XM4 headphones wracking up crazy high scores.
And, as the T3 team is made up of a bunch of tech enthusiasts and audiophiles, unsurprisingly one of these sets of headphones is now owned by basically every member. We're not kidding, these are superb noise-cancelling headphones and the T3 team has bought many pairs of them.
Which is why we find them so easy to recommend, and especially now when they are discounted as part of the best Prime Day deals bonanza. Check out the deals below:
Sony WH-1000XM3 | RRP: £330 | Now: £198 | Save: £132 (40%) at Amazon UK
Amazon's listed RRP here is a bit cheeky, because these headphones have only really cost £250 or so ever since the Sony WH-1000XM4 came out at the £300 mark. Having said that: they're never been cheaper than £200 before, to our knowledge, so this remains one of today's best headphones deals. There is simply nothing better for both active noise cancellation effectiveness or for sound quality at this price. We gave them five stars in our Sony WH-1000XM3 review.View Deal
Sony WH-1000XM3 | RRP: $350 | Now: $239 | Save: $111 (32%) at Amazon USA
Don't worry, America, there are some great Sony noise cancelling deals going on Stateside today too. There's a big $111 off these all-conquering, over-ear noise quellers for a start. View Deal
Sony WF-1000XM3 | RRP: £220 | Now: £130 | Save: £90 (41%) at Amazon UK
In-ear buds have always struggled to match over-ear sets when it comes to noise-cancelling, but the WF-1000XM3 really took that up a gear. They're right at the top of the game for both music quality and ANC, and this is the cheapest price we've ever seen for them. We gave them five stars in our Sony WF-1000XM3 review, and that was at full price. View Deal
Sony WF-1000XM3 | Was $300 | Now $148 | Save $152 (36%) at Amazon USA
Are the WF-1000XM3 ever really $300 at Amazon.com? We doubt it, but there's also no doubt that $148 is a great price. View Deal
Sony WH-1000XM4 | Was: £274.82 | Now: £258.32 | Saving: £16.50
Or, if you're feeling particularly flush, you can plump for a pair of the brand new XM4s, which offer subtle improvements over the XM3s in terms of noise cancelling but are very much in the same ballpark in terms of overall quality. The black colourway of these noise-cancelling cans are down by a small but welcome £16.50 for Prime Day. We gave them five stars in our Sony WH-1000XM4 review.View Deal
Sony WH-1000XM4 | Was $350 | Now $248 | Save $102 at Best Buy
The Best Amazon Prime Day deal on these headphones in America is NOT at Amazon. No, instead the T3 Award winners are over $100 off at Best Buy. Deal ends tonight!View Deal
As you can see in the deals above, each one of these Sony noise-cancelling headphones got a full five stars on review. If you like the idea of noise-cancelling headphones but don't want a pair made by Sony, though, then be sure to check out T3's guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones.
