My favorite headphones are $50 off right now — you need them
Man wearing Sony WH-1000XM4 headpones.

Right now, one of the best headphone deals comes from Crutchfield. Today, you can buy the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for $50 off, meaning you pay $298 instead of $348. The headphones are my personal favorite, doing a fantastic job of making whatever I listen to sound great and blocking out surrounding noises wonderfully. If that sounds like something you want in your life (you really do), read on for more information on why these are must have headphones.

I bought the WH-1000XM4 after the newer model came out because the price difference and some subtle changes meant that it simply made more sense to go slightly older. We have a full comparison between the Sony WH-1000XM5 and XM4, but what it boils down to is that the XM5 are a little lighter but they don’t fold up like the XM4, which would have been annoying when I was on a recent flight and trying to squeeze everything into my carry-on.
