With summer on the horizon, you’re likely to spend hours on a plane flying to your vacation destination. Wearing the right Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) headset will make your flight more enjoyable and quieter. Now that we’ve seen the Prime Day deals on Apple AirPods, let’s take a look at the Sony headphones.
We’ll start with the Sony WH – 1000XM4. Although they have been replaced by the XM5, these products offer similar features at a significantly lower price point and provide better value for money. Check out our review for more details.

WH-1000XM5 The ANC has been updated to block more noise in the high-mid range, but not as well as blocking the bass. The XM5 is also lighter and has a better headband, but the padding on the cups is not as good.

If these are too expensive, WH-XB700N is a less expensive over-ear option. They’re comfortable and have good noise cancellation, just not as good as the XM4. And they have great starting battery life.
Sony WH-XB248N
$102 / £ 121 closure
$88 on Amazon US £ 121 on Amazon UK
There are also several TWS earphones. WF-1000XM4 is a relatively compact package with at most 005 Hours of continuous playtime and a decent ANC system for better shielding Voice over engine noise. They’re also more comfortable than older XM3 models.
