I'm calling it: The Sony XM4 for $185 is the best Prime Day 2025 headphone deal, but it won't last long

The bad news: The mega-popular Sony WH-1000XM4 headphone is no longer on sale for $183, which was the historic-low price just yesterday. The good news: The Prime Day day three price is just $185 — no longer historic, but still a whopping $165 off. And while the XM4 is routinely discounted, this is still well below the usual sale price. Read on to learn why you should definitely grab this before it's gone.

This is, of course, just one of many Amazon Prime Day deals. And if you're looking for additional headphone options, here's our roundup of the best Prime Day headphone deals from Apple, Beats, Bose and more.

Because we're in a rush, I'm just going to give you some key XM4 highlights:

• This model is a few years old, having already been succeeded by the WH-1000XM5 and, as of a few weeks ago, the WH-1000XM6 — but it was incredibly popular with users and remains so even now.

• It offers robust ANC (active noise-canceling), a folding design (something the XM5 lacks), touch controls, wear-detection and a battery that's good for up to 30 hours on a charge.

• Only the Midnight Blue color is on sale at this price; the Black and Silver SKUs are $193 — still a significant savings.

Still not convinced? Hold on to your ears: Over 60,000 (!) Amazon customers collectively rated the XM4 4.6 stars out of 5. That means the vast majority of buyers absolutely love the product; the remainder merely really like it.
