While both of these headphones have seen bigger discounts in the past, these deals still offer great value for money, and are well worth picking up if you need some noise-cancelling headphones and don't want to fork out for the Sony WH-1000XM4

So, which model is right for you? Let's start with the Sony WH-XB900N. These headphones exist as a bridge between the company’s Extra Bass series and the premium WH-1000XM4 cans – and as a result, you're getting the best of both worlds, with deep bass frequencies and great noise cancellation.

They come with Sony's Extra Bass technology, which enhances the low-end frequencies to produces a deeper bass. Pair this up with industry-leading noise cancellation, and you’ve got the perfect hybrid for bass lovers.

If you're just looking for a simple pair of wireless cans that can block out annoying environmental sound, and you love the sound of thumping bass, these headphones could be the perfect fit.

However, you could save even more money by opting for the Sony WH-CH710N,  which feature adaptive noise cancellation. So, whether you're traveling, walking, or in a busy office, the Sony headphones will adjust the level of noise cancellation to suit your environment. 

The Bluetooth headphones also feature a built-in microphone for hands-free calls and use with your voice assistant, as well as an impressive 35-hour battery life.

The noise cancellation provided by this model isn't as effective as the WH-XB900N, so they might not be the right headphones for you if you want to fully block out the world around you.
