The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the predecessor to one of our favorite headphones we've written at length about, the WH-1000XM5. We've put the WH-1000XM5 at the top of so many best lists for its exceptional noise-canceling, all-day comfort, strong battery life, great microphones, and, because it's Sony, gorgeous sound. The only downside to this headset? It's $400. And there aren't too many differences between the XM4 and XM5. The main difference is the build style (the XM4 is collapsible, while the XM5 isn't, a common gripe reviewers and customers have with the latest model).

"Sony has a winner here and has lived up to expectations," Matt Miller writes in his review of the Sony headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones share similar features like comfort and sound but offer a slightly different headphone design (the WH-100XM4 is more adjustable) and are much cheaper. So if you want to experience the amazing sounds of Sony but are trying to stretch your paycheck a little further, choose the WH-1000XM4 over the WH-1000XM5. The headphones offer 30 hours of battery life, a 40mm driver size, and Bluetooth 5.0.
