Given that Christmas is just around the corner, it’s prudent to keep an eye out for any great headphone deals that you can grab. Well, luckily for you, Sony has discounted two of their best headsets, which also happen to be overall great headsets to begin with. First, you have the WF-1000XM4 reduced by $32 down to $248, and then there are the WH-1000XM4, which has been reduced by $102 down to $248.00. So essentially, you can take your pick depending on whether you prefer going over-ear or in-ear.

While the WF-1000XM4 costs a pretty penny, it’s jam-packed with features, from active noise canceling, to an on-board processor, and it can even restore compressed files in real time to better quality. Combine that with wind noise reduction, an IPX4 rating, and a larger 6mm driver means that you can go out and about in your day without having to worry about the loud noises of the world around you intruding into your music listening or streaming. It also supports the majority of virtual assistants like Google Assistant and Alex, which let you not only control your paired devices but even the earphones themselves, for example, by saying, “Alexa, turn off noise cancellation.”

While the WH-1000XM4 is down to the same price as the WF-1000XM4, it’s actually one of the more significant Sony headphone deals, especially given the more considerable reduction of $102. Of course, it has some of the same features as the earbuds, but with a few upgrades thrown in. It has better noise canceling capabilities and a really interesting Adaptive Sound Control feature that automatically detects whether you are walking, running, or traveling in noisy areas and adjusts accordingly. You also get a 30-hour battery life and the added comfort of the headband for those extra 30 hours.

If you order quickly enough, you can probably grab either set of phones before their deals run out and have them in time for Christmas, but if you miss out, especially on the headphones, you can still check out some of our other Sony WH-1000XM4 deals that you can grab.

Sony’s fantastic A7 III mirrorless camera is $500 off at Best Buy

Sony A7 III

It's summer time and that means making great memories with family, friends, and new loves. But if we ever hope to retain those memories we have to record it with a picture (or video), right? Well, at least that's what some of us do. And what that looks like is going to be different for all of us, too. Maybe you'll be grinning at one of the best cameras on a phone, but there's also a chance — though increasingly small — that we'll use a camera to catch these moments. If you want a discount on that camera (that can take video) this summer, then please accept this invite to look at the Sony A7 III mirrorless camera and a 28-77mm lens while it is $500 off. That's a leap from $2,200 down to $1,700, available to you if you follow the button below to Best Buy.

Why you should buy the Sony a7 III
If the fall of 2018, our Sony A7 III review applauded the humble "basic" (at least compared to other Sony Alpha cameras) Sony A7 III for its broad appeal and good stat line. With 24MP shooting, 4K HDR video, and the ability to wirelessly stream to a nearby phone, computer, or TV, the Sony A7 III, though not necessarily designed for beginners, has low barriers for satisfying usage. It's ISO range of 100 to 51,200, combined with very satisfying pictures, led our reviewer to label it "one of the most impressive high ISO cameras we've ever tested." A 693-point autofocus and 10 fps high-speed shooting means you'll be able to get the perfect shot no matter the situation.

Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are a great buy at over $100 off

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Industry Leading Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones

Let's not bury the lede here: When the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphone came out, they were the best headphones available. They've since been passed only by the new model, the XM5s. Right now these incredible headphones have a sweet discount as part of Prime Day deals. You can grab them for just $248 right now, down a full $101 from their usual price of $350. These were worth it at their most expensive -- they're an even better deal now. Grab them before Prime Day headphone deals are over.

Why you should buy Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones during Prime Day
If you want to read about the all of the cool features that make these headphones incredible, you should dive into our in-depth Sony WH-1000XM4 review. We'll summarize the biggest points here too. After all, you have to decide whether to take advantage of this deal before Prime Day ends. For starters, the build is very comfortable and sturdy. Sony didn't change the design between the XM3 and XM4 (although they did change it for the XM5). It has nice padding, adjustable cups, and a folding design that makes storage easy. The sound quality is excellent. You can expect the best from Sony. Sony added a new system into the XM4s called DSEE Extreme. This is a built-in AI that upscales lossy content like MP3 and AAC. This is great for people who stream a lot of their music on the go and don't always have access to lossless media. The noise-cancelling is top notch. Low-end sounds are all but muted, and mid-range sounds, like conversations in a coffee shop, are significantly reduced. Play some music while noise-cancelling is on and you will be transported to your own world.
