Earlier this month, Newegg discounted Sony's $350 WH-1000XM3 headphones down to $250. (Sale prices on the unit typically hover around $275.)

Sony’s headphone app will soon analyze your ears for 360 audio
Back at CES, Sony unveiled 360 Reality Audio, a new standard/format/ecosystem for immersive sound on headphones and speakers. The headphone demo at CES was very technical and quite sensitive as calibrating sound profiles to your ears required a thin wire underneath some studio-grade cans. The company was clear in January that the goal would be for anyone to do the calibration with their phone, by taking a picture of their ears. At IFA, Sony is showing off how that feature will work inside its current Headphones app.

Sony adds Alexa to its stellar WH-1000XM3 headphones
Sony's WH-1000XM3 are the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy, and at CES 2019, the company is adding another handy feature to the spec list. Amazon's Alexa will soon be available built-in on the headphones via an update through Sony's Headphone Connect app. This means with the press of a button, you can ask the virtual assistant to play music, skip tracks, answer your search queries and control your connected smart home gear. What's more, the update will also be available on the two older 1000X models: the WH-1000XM2 and WI-1000X.
Sony's excellent high-end headphones get a custom noise-canceling chip
We're big fans of Sony's WH-1000X noise-canceling headphones -- but now the company is taking things a step further. With the new 1000XM3 (Mark 3), Sony went back to the drawing board and redesigned the headphones entirely. Most important, it developed a new noise-canceling processor, the QN1, which Sony claims is four times better than the last model. Basically, that means the 1000XM3 will be better at blocking out things like airplane and subway noise, something the line already excelled at.
