There’s no denying that these Sony headphones certainly are no spring chicken. Released in 2020, they’ve already seen their successor in the face of the WH-1000XM5. However, they remain one of the best wireless headphones, especially for people on a tight budget.
But when you do turn it on, the whole world goes (almost) completely silent. While some sudden noises like the occasional door slam may permeate, you can expect traffic noises, blowing fans or air conditioners, etc., to get swallowed up by this headset’s exceptional noise-cancelling features. And you don’t even have to listen on super high volumes to experience the fantastic ANC.
With neat gimmicks like 360 Reality Audio and Speak-to-Chat, these headphones deserve the title “flagship-grade.” The latter feature detects whenever the user talks, lowers music volumes to a minimum, and then turns on Ambient Mode. You can turn off this feature if it’s not your cup of tea.
Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you should pick Sony’s former flagship headphones. But keep in mind that Amazon UK has taken care of their least attractive feature – the hefty price tag, for a limited time. Pick your favorite color and snag them at 43% off while you can!
