It’s hard to imagine a universe where we would ever recommend you purchase a three year-old high-end smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch (unless, of course, you’re on a really tight budget), but headphones tend to age differently than all those other consumer product categories.
In fact, the noise-cancelling Sony WH-1000XM3 have only been priced (slightly) lower than $179.99 once or twice before, and just like this killer new 24-hour Best Buy deal, bargain hunters didn’t get a lot of time to claim their huge discounts then either.
Keep in mind that Best Buy only has the black color option in stock at an absolutely colossal $170 markdown from its original $349.99 price, and if you compare the WH-1000XM3 to their successors, you won’t actually find a lot of differences or clear reasons to justify the WH-1000XM4’s current premium.
