If the latest Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are too expensive for your budget, consider the prior-generation WH-1000XM4. While the WH-1000XM4 doesn't come with the same modern aesthetic as this year's flagship headphones, they also boast terrific noise cancelation and audio quality. The slightly older WH-1000XM4 also comes with a feature that's missing on the WH-1000XM5.

Sony's slightly older model can fold up for travel in a much more portable package that saves room on your carry-on or laptop bag. This makes the Sony WH-1000XM4 a great purchase for frequent travelers, students, and commuters.
