The Sony WH-1000XM5 noise cancelling headphones are some of the best out there and we are now tracking one of the best deals of the year…even better than Black Friday in fact. Amazon is now offering the Sony XM5 sets in all colorways down at $278 shipped. Regularly $400 and typically closer to $398, this is $120 off the going rate and the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon with this sort of color selection. This deal is slightly undercutting the $280 offer at Best Buy right now as well.
Outside of some YMMV deals, military service offers, and the odd discounts at random, limited-access retailers, this is the lowest price we have tracked all year that anyone can take advantage of.
While they are not shipping in time for Christmas at this point via Amazon, if you’re looking to get your hands on a serious set of cans with some of the better active noice cancellation out there, today’s deal is undercutting just about all of the closest competition by a long shot – AirPods Max, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and so on.
Not only are the XM5s, at least in my opinion, some of the nicer looking headphones in the price/quality range, but they also land as a notable option for both iOS and Android users with onboard ANC and up to 30 hours of battery life (score an additional 3 hours with a 3-minute quick charge). They land with synthetic leather ear cups and a travel-ready collapsible design as well as Sony’s Speak-to-Chat function that automatically mutes your playback and disables ANC when you start talking.
Sony XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones feature:
The WH-1000XM5 headphones rewrite the rules for distraction-free listening. Two processors control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise canceling and exceptional call quality. From airplane noise to people’s voices, our WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with multiple microphone noise canceling keep out more high and mid frequency sounds than ever. The light and rigid precision-engineered driver unit improves high frequency sensitivity for more natural sound quality. With Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations.
