Amazon’s 1-day sale on mind-blowing Sony WH1000XM3 headphones beats Black Friday’s price

 

Upgrade your personal audio experience and pick up a pair of industry-leading Sony WH1000XM3 wireless noise-cancelling headphones

These headphones retail for about $350 and people swarmed Amazon last year when they dropped to $278 on Black Friday.

Today, for one day only, Amazon is selling Sony WH1000XM3 headphones for an all-time low price of just $248, beating Black Friday’s discount by an impressive $30.

Sony announced earlier this month that it will soon release its hotly anticipated next-generation Sony WH1000XM4 headphones. They’ll cost $350 when they’re released next Tuesday, and you can already preorder them right now at Amazon to ensure you get your hands (and ears) on them as soon as possible. Before you do, however, there are a few important things you should know.

First of all, they’re definitely an upgrade compared to the current-generation WH1000XM3 ANC headphones, but not necessarily in the ways you think. Sony hasn’t made any big changes like adding new drivers or changing the tuning. In fact, there aren’t even any major changes to the beloved noise cancelling tech Sony uses. Instead, you get slightly tweaked ANC, support for multiple device connections, wearing detection, and 5 mics for improved voice call quality. You also get Sony’s DSEE Extreme upscaling tech, which is definitely appreciated.

Those are all great updates, mind you, and you should get it all for about the same price Sony charges for the current WH1000XM3 model. What you have to ask yourself, however, is if those upgrades are worth $102. Why? Because that’s the discount Amazon is offering on the Sony WH1000XM3 wireless noise-cancelling headphones for one day only on Tuesday!
