After a week of solid deals, we’ve got some bangers to cap off your weekend. Starting off, Woot has excellent prices for some of Sony’s top-of-the-line headphones — both for those who prefer over-ear cans and true wireless earbuds.
The Sony WH1000XM4 headphones may be familiar to you. They were our top pick for best headphones for quite a while. Their title has been usurped by the newer and pricier 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 of the new model’s revised design).
Woot is offering the WH-1000XM4 headphones for a one-day deal price of $269.99 (about $80 off), but if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber and you order through the Woot app on iOS or Android you get an added $20 discount. This brings the price down to $249.99 and includes free shipping. This is the same price as the holiday lows. Check out our review.
Sony WH-1000XM4
These over-ear headphones can be described as the best noise cancelling headphones currently available. They can last for up to 30 hours and have plush earpads that provide a comfortable listening experience. Amazon Prime members will receive an additional $20 discount by purchasing through the Woot app starting August 20th.
If earbuds are more your jam, the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds are also on an excellent offer from Woot — though there are further stipulations you need to know. Woot sells an international, imported model of the Sony WF-1100XM4 Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones for $199.99 (or 80 percent off) on their website. 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 one provided by Woot. If you’re unsure, there’s also a 30-day return window for a little peace of mind. The extra-special deal is for Amazon Prime subscribers who order via Woot’s app today, and can get an extra $20 off, dropping the price of the buds to $179.99 ($100 off).
We still consider the WF-1000XM4 the best earbuds, despite the fact that Sony names are confusing and terrible. This is due to their superior noise cancelling, detailed sound quality and amazing battery life. Check out our review.
Sony WF-1000XM4
Sony’s WF-1000XM4 have the best noise cancellation of any true wireless earbuds, and the sound quality is second to none. The earbuds can also now be charged wirelessly and have a new design that’s smaller and rated IPX4. Amazon Prime members can save $20 on imported models with a 90-day warranty when they buy through the Woot App on August 20th.
Now there’s just one more deal worth mentioning in Woot’s obsessive attempts to get you to download and use its app. The Animal Crossing Edition of the Nintendo Switch console is down 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 launched back in 2017, not the fancier OLED version, but it’s hard to deny this cute colorway and design. I can speak from a little experience here, as this edition is one of the three Switches I own (I may have a problem), and it’s by far the most charming.
Tragically, you don’t get a pack-in copy of Animal Crossing New HorizonsThis Switch is great, but the Joy-Cons on the back and embossed design at the rear are a real treat. The $40 savings on this deal for a single day offsets most of or all of the cost of New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 DeluxeOr Super Mario Odyssey — which are all on sale right now.
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 adorned by the Nook family, and a unique embossed pattern on the console’s back panel. It doesn’t come packaged with a copy of Animal Crossing – New Horizon, but it perfectly matches the game’s aesthetic.
Alright, now for a great deal that’s available to anyone: Samsung’s original Galaxy Buds Pro in white are on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $129.99 ($70 off). That’s nearly matching their all-time low from Black Friday 2021. The new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is coming soon. They look and sound great in our review. However, they cost $30 less than the previous 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 an exceptional value — especially if you favor Samsung phones, as some extra features are exclusively within the Galaxy line.
The original Galaxy Buds Pro sound great and offer excellent active noise cancellation. They also have IPX7 sweat and waterproof resistance. While their microphones may not be as good as the newer earbuds available, you may find that your money is worth it. Check out our review.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro have a blend of tech found in the Buds Plus and Buds Live, with the best sound quality the company has achieved yet in a pair of earbuds.
