The Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones continue to be my go-to travel headphones when it comes to routine work commutes, business travel and vacations. I confess, though, that I've often felt slightly guilty about not opting for one of the newer best wireless headphones, but despite being several years old there are solid reasons for continuing to rate the older Sony's as my favorite headphones for travel.
Firstly, they're foldable, which makes them so much more practical for sliding into my work or travel bag, and the protective case is a lot smaller too. And judging by the number of fellow travelers on my work commutes also sporting the older version of Sony's XM-series headphones on their head, I'm not alone.
