The world may be getting louder, but noise-canceling headphones are getting better. Active noise canceling (ANC) technology has trickled down to more affordable brands like Anker and Skullcandy, but the battle for ANC dominance rages on among tech giants. Apple and Bose are top contenders, but Sony makes a case for being the best of all, and right now, the brand's top-of-the-line headphones are $100 off.
Typically $350, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 Noice Canceling Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are on sale at Target for just $250—a 29% discount, and a price typically only seen around big sale events. These ANC headphones have earned over 1,600 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they have "absolutely amazing sound and functions." They're available in black and silver and make a great gift for Father’s Day, whether your dad is an audiophile or works around loud power tools. You’ll want to act fast, though, because we don’t know how long this deal will last.

The top-of-the-line noise-canceling technology makes them a great option if you frequently end up in the noisy back half of the plane when traveling. It has up to 30 hours of battery life, and a 10-minute charge gives you up to 5 hours of playback. The touch sensor offers convenient control over volume, pause and play, and phone calls. It’s compatible with different smart assistants, whether you have an Android, iPhone, or Pixel phone. And, best of all, the adaptive ANC automatically adjusts depending on the noise levels around you while ear-detection automatically pauses the music when you remove the headphones.
Shoppers were impressed with the headphones’ performance, with one calling the sound quality “immaculate.” Another wrote, “I tried these in the store and they were everything I wanted,” adding that by playing with the equalizer settings, they “got the perfect sound I was looking for.” Another wrote that they were “amazing at blocking out surrounding noises.”
