Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones for $228 (normally $350) at pretty much every store (Sony, Amazon, Best Buy, etc). Just got them and they are great but I never had wireless headphones. They do take 10-20 seconds to connect to my iPad, but that might be because they are also set up with my phone.

I considered the newer version but the reviews made it seem like it wasn't a huge upgrade and in some ways a downgrade, like the newer version doesn't fold to a smaller size.

I have the newer XM5s. The main reason for me to go with them instead of the cheaper XM4s was the call quality.

I use my headphones very often in conference calls and the XM5s have excellent microphones compared to their predecessors. Side note: before, I have tested the Bose QC45 but those microphones are absolutely garbage. Sad, because the QC35 microphones were good.

I don’t mind that the XM5s don’t fold anymore. In a way I like the new design better compared to my wife’s XM3s.

"Used - Good" Sony WH-1000XM4 on Amazon seems to have an additional discount when get to checkout. I just picked up a pair for $148.26

Careful buying used stuff off Amazon. I've received duds more often than not. It's patently obvious that Amazon doesn't actually do any QA/checking of stuff they sell as "used" - I bought a pair of headphones once where one of the ears was simply not working, something that any tester would catch immediately. The lower price is not worth the hassle of having to return if it doesn't work.
