These comfortable and lightweight headphones offer up sensational audio quality. Plus, you get good noise-cancelling and battery life. At just $248, this is a great price for these former What Hi-Fi? Award-winners.

Sony has been making excellent wireless headphones for a while, and the WH-1000XM4 are certainly one of its biggest successes. We gave these headphones five stars in our review, and we love their performance and features. At just $248, these headphones aren't just high quality, they are a great value too.

They sport ANC and voice and touch controls and have 30 hours of battery life. They don't support aptX or aptX HD Bluetooth codecs, but they do support LDAC for high-quality audio streaming from a compatible device. They also support multipoint, so you can have two sources connected simultaneously.

When it comes to audio quality, the XM4 manage to sound nuanced, detailed and dynamic, while bass feels appropriately punchy. Timing is excellent, and the treble is particularly refined. Put simply, the audio quality of these headphones is excellent.

If you're looking for a new pair of premium wireless headphones at a great price, the Sony XM4s are a great choice at $248.
