Hot deal: Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones drop by $100!
Sony’s premium headphones need no introduction by now, but if you’ve been living under a rock for some time, we can tell you they are our favorite headphones. Nothing beats the Sony WH-1000XM5 as an overall package, but these high-end headphones are pretty expensive. It’s best to wait for excellent deals to get them, and today is your lucky day. The Sony WH-1000XM5 are $100 off today, bringing the price down to $299.99.
This deal is available directly from Amazon. The 25% discount applies to the Black, Midnight Blue, and Silver color versions. There is no discount on the Smoky Pink model.
As we’ve already mentioned above, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are outstanding headphones that compete only with the best out there, and mostly beat them. It all starts with a minimal, comfortable design that looks and feels great. The padding is very pleasant, and the larger cups fit amazingly, even for people with larger ears.
Of course, these headphones are fabulous in all other departments. The sound quality is outstanding, as is the ANC performance. Even the microphone outperforms those in most headphones we’ve tested. Features and support aren’t lacking. You’ll get Bluetooth Multipoint, Find My Device support, and plenty of Bluetooth codecs. These include LDAC, AAC, and SBC. You also get wired connectivity through a 3.5mm headset jack, a port that is starting to disappear with modern wireless headphones.
We also loved its battery life. After running these through our standardized tests, the Sony WH-1000XM5 lasted over 32 hours with ANC enabled. And get this: that time got extended to over 53 hours with noise canceling turned off!
You’ll want to take advantage of this deal, as we don’t often see the Sony WH-1000XM5 at such low prices. The record-low price on Amazon is $298, and we only saw it reach a lower price once at Walmart, which had these for $290 for a hot second.
