Sony WH-1000XM3 deals appear more and more now that their successor, the XM4s, are out on the market. That means now's a fantastic time to be shopping for our favorite headphones for two years in a row, with prices dropping on the older model across the web.

Sony's WH-10000XM3 headphones have reigned supreme since their release in 2018, with very few price cuts to be had. At launch, the Sony WH-1000XM3 price was $349 (£300, AU$499), but we've since seen sales bringing those prices closer to $270 / £219 in 2020. Those are some significant savings on (before the XM4s came around) top-of-the-range headphones. What's more, these Sony WH-1000XM3 sales prices seem to stick around, so if you spot a cheaper deal below, you've found a steal.

Launched in 2018, the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones retain their excellent build quality, noise cancellation, powerful audio, long battery life, and intuitive touch controls - still putting up a fight against 2019's Bose 700s. You're getting one hell of a set of specs for your cash with this tried and tested model from a brand many trusts with their tunes.

If you want to hold out till November, you can typically find discounts on the Sony headphones at the Black Friday 2021 sale.

Is the Sony WH-1000XM3 price worth it?

With the new Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones coming in at $349 / £349, you're saving a decent amount of cash by picking up the older model, but is that cheaper sales price still worth it?

We'd say so - the noise cancellation in the 2018 model was well before its time, blocking out environmental sounds while your audio is played in high definition and keeping every note crisp and every chord raw. Plus, you'll even find intelligent ANC here, with presets that allow you to still hear certain environmental sounds if you're walking on the street, for example, or need to hear your name in the office.

It's clear that the Sony WH-1000XM3 price has been designed for the everyday. In fact, these days they come in fairly cheap compared to their counterparts with similar specs. Plus, their strong battery performance, foldable design, and integration with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant attest to a lifestyle focus.

But more than that, they've been designed as powerful headphones. A 40mm driver works with a Liquid Crystal Polymer diaphragm to produce excellent bass quality, meanwhile, Sony's DSEE HX technology actively improves the quality of your music straight from the source.

We're in love with these feature-packed, high quality headphones. So much so that we recently named them as number one in our list of the best headphones of 2019. With Sony WH-1000XM3 deals popping up more and more with age, there's never been a better time to pick up a pair of high quality, flexible headphones.

What's the difference between the Sony WH-1000XM3 and Sony WH-1000XM4?

If you're choosing between the Sony WH-1000XM3s and the newer XM4 headphones you're likely deciding whether to take the price cut on the older model and sacrifice some of the latest features in doing so.

If you do so, you are missing out on the new DSEE Extreme processor, only available in the 2020 headphones. That cheaper Sony WH-1000XM3 price will only net you the previous DSEE HX chip. In reality, both chips do the same work - it's just that the Extreme brain will also bring Sony Edge-AI into the mix in order to provide a more accurate representation of each song or sound file.

The new XM4s also take noise-cancellation to new heights by learning your routines and the usual sound profiles you'll be encountering on your day and adapting its settings intelligently to fit these adventures. Similarly, the new 'Speak to Chat' feature automatically dims your tunes when it detects your voice - no more fumbling around at checkout when you're grabbing that morning coffee then.

Apart from these new technical features under the hood, the appearance, battery, and touch interface of the Sony WH-1000XM4s mirrors that of the previous generation. If you're looking for a great pair of headphones and you aren't fussed about spending an extra $100 to pick up cutting edge quality of life features, the Sony WH-1000XM3s will do just fine. However, it's worth taking a look at the latest Sony WH-1000XM4 deals if you do find these tweaks will fit into your lifestyle better.
