These Sony Noise-Canceling Headphones Are Selling at Their Lowest Price Ever
If you’ve been looking for a pair of wireless over-ear headphones that combine sound quality and comfort, these Sony noise-canceling headphones are now on sale for under $100. They’re the lowest-priced headphones on the market, according to price trackers, and are a worthy alternative to those who find in-ear and clip-on headphones uncomfortable.
With soft ear cushions and wireless capabilities, Sony’s lightest over-ear headphones (weighing just 192 grams, or just over six ounces) offer comfort and a more immersive sound. They’re great for long listening sessions or blocking out distractions at home, but they’re also potentially great for commuters or remote workers who need to focus in public spaces.
The battery lasts up to 35 hours on a single charge, according to Sony, which also lists 4.5 hours of playback on a 10-minute charge. The headphones come with features like Adjustable Ambient Sound mode, which lets you enjoy sound quality while remaining aware of your surroundings — similar to open-back headphones — as well as the ability to adjust the sound based on your location.
Compared to more expensive headphones from premium brands, the plastic housing may not be as durable or sleek as models made from premium materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon fiber. They also have click adjustments, unlike more expensive models that typically have click-free adjustments. Lastly, they’re not waterproof, so this pair isn’t ideal for sweaty workouts. That said, if you don’t like the feel of over-ear headphones and are looking for noise cancellation at an affordable price, Sony’s noise-canceling headphones could be a starting point for an alternative to more expensive noise-canceling headphones from brands like Bose or Apple.
