If you’ve been searching for a pair of wireless over-ear headphones that combine sound quality with comfort, these Sony noise-cancelling headphones are currently on sale for under $100. According to price trackers, they’re at their lowest price yet, and are a worthy alternative to those who find in-ear and clip-on headphones uncomfortable.
With plush ear cups and wireless capabilities, Sony’s lightest over-ear headphones (weighing just 192 grams, or a little over six ounces) offer comfort as well as more immersive sound. They’re suitable for long listening sessions or blocking out distractions at home, but are also a potential fit for commuters or remote workers who need to focus in public areas.
The battery lasts up to 35 hours on a charge, according to Sony, who also cites 4.5 hours of playback for a 10-minute charge. The headphones come with features like Adjustable Ambient Sound mode, which lets you enjoy sound quality while staying aware of your surroundings—similar to open earbuds—as well as the ability to adjust sound based on your location.
Compared to more expensive headphones from premium brands, the plastic exterior may not be as durable or sleek as models made from premium materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon fiber. They also adjust with clicks unlike higher-end models, which typically feature non-clicking adjustment. Finally, they’re not water-resistant, so this pair isn’t ideal for ultra-sweaty workouts. That said, if you dislike the feeling of earbuds and are looking for noise cancellation at an affordable price, the Sony noise-canceling headphones can provide an entry point alternative to pricier noise-canceling headphones from brands like Bose or Apple.
