Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones and WF-1000XM4 earbuds are up to $100 off

After a week of solid deals, we’ve got some bangers to wrap up your weekend. For starters, Woot has excellent prices on some of Sony’s premium headphones – both for those who prefer over-ear cans and true wireless earbuds.

You may be no stranger to the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and for good reason, as they were our top pick for the best headphones you can buy in a while. Their title has been taken over by the newer and more expensive WH-1000XM5, but the XM4 remains an excellent option with great sound quality, noise cancellation and the ability to fold down for easier storage (a glaring omission from the new model’s revised design).

Woot offers the WH-1000XM4 headphones at a one-day deal price of $269.99 (about $80 off), but if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber and you order through the Woot app at iOS or android you get an additional $20 discount. This drops the price to $249.99 with free shipping, which is the same low price we last saw around the holidays. Read our review.

Sony WH-1000XM4

These over-ear headphones are some of the best noise canceling headphones you can buy right now. They last up to 30 hours on a single charge and offer a comfortable listening experience with soft ear cushions. Amazon Prime members can get an additional $20 discount by purchasing through the Woot app on August 20.

If earbuds are more your problem, the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds also have an excellent offer from Woot – although there are other stipulations you should know about. Woot sells an imported, international model of the Sony WF-1000XM4 Bluetooth noise canceling earbuds for $199.99 ($80 off) on his site. There’s nothing physically different about these earbuds, which are in new condition, but since they’re imported, the only warranty is a 90-day warranty provided by Woot. If you’re not sure, there’s also a 30-day return policy for a bit of peace of mind. The extra special deal is for Amazon Prime subscribers who order through the Woot app today and can get an additional $20 off, bringing the price of the buttons down to $179.99 ($100 off).

The WF-1000XM4 (we know Sony names are complicated and awful) still holds the crown of the best earbuds to buy in our buying guide, thanks to their superior noise cancellation, detailed sound quality and great battery life. Read our review.

Sony WF-1000XM4

Sony’s WF-1000XM4 has the best noise cancellation of any true wireless earbud, and the sound quality is second to none. The earbuds can now also be charged wirelessly and have a new design that is smaller and classified as IPX4. Amazon Prime members can get an additional $20 off an imported international model with a 90-day warranty by purchasing through the Woot app on August 20.

Now there’s another deal worth noting in Woot’s obsessive efforts to let you download and use the app. The Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch console edition dropped to $269.99 ($30 off) for Amazon Prime subscribers via the Woot app – others get it for just $10 off. Yes, this is the same Switch that launched in 2017, not the fancier OLED version, but it’s hard to deny this adorable colorway and design. I can speak from a bit of experience here, as this edition is one of three Switches I own (maybe I have a problem), and it’s by far the most charming.

Tragically, you don’t get a boxed copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons with this Switch, but the Joy-Cons and embossed design on the back are quite a treat. Plus, the $40 saved on this one-day deal offsets most or all of the cost of New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxeor Super Mario Odyssey – all of which are now for sale.

Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition

Nintendo’s Animal Crossing themed console takes the standard Switch and dresses it up with light blue and green Joy-Cons, color-matched hand straps, a white dock decorated by the Nook family, and a unique embossed pattern on the console’s back panel. It does not come packaged with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizonbut it fits the aesthetics of the game perfectly.

Okay, now for a great deal available to everyone: Samsung’s original Galaxy Buds Pro in white are on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $129.99 ($70 off). That almost matches their Black Friday 2021 low. The new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are coming out very soon, and in our review they look and sound very good, but they also cost $30 more than the previous one. fashion model. If you don’t feel the need to be on the cutting edge with the latest model, this deal on the older Galaxy Buds Pro is exceptional value – especially if you prefer Samsung phones, as some of the extra features are exclusive within the Galaxy line.

The original Galaxy Buds Pro sound great, offer good active noise cancellation and IPX7 sweat and water resistance. Their mics may not be as good compared to newer earbuds, but the money saved may help you forgive. Read our review.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro features a mix of technology found in the Buds Plus and Buds Live, delivering the best sound quality the company has yet achieved in a pair of earbuds.

Some sweet Saturday deals:
