As part of its Epic Daily Deals event for the holiday season, Amazon is offering these over-the-ear headphones for $248, a major $100 price cut from the $348 list price. (Note that you can find them at similar prices at Best Buy, Target and B&H Photo.)

The WH-1000XM4 are the best headphones we've ever tried thanks to their high-tech features, excellent audio output and comfortable fit. They're immensely comfortable, shockingly lightweight and offer incredible sound without any pesky ambient noise getting in the way. In our original review, our tester noted how he felt almost no gravitational downward pressure or clamp force while wearing the headphones—but that they still managed to have a firm fit. They also had smooth controls, both on the right ear cup of the headphones or through the Sony Headphones Connect app. Then there's the noise-canceling technology, which our tester found to be "the best in the business." He said the headphones managed to drown out the whirr of fans, the humming of an air conditioning unit and the hustle and bustle of his surroundings. All of that is supported by more than 30 hours of battery life and great Bluetooth connectivity for wireless play.

The high list price of these top-tier headphones makes any discount a reason to celebrate. If you're looking to score a super gift for the holiday season at a fantastic price, this is a deal to shop!
