Sony WH-1000XM5 — Big Savings on a Top ANC Headphone

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones remain among the best noise-canceling and wireless headphones available. A recent price check found the black model available at around $274 at some retailers (including third-party listings and select retailers), while other colors are discounted to roughly $328. Prices vary by retailer and seller — check current listings before buying.

Why they’re worth it

• Top-tier ANC: Eight microphones and class-leading active noise cancellation.
• Comfort: Slim cushioned headband and soft earcups — comfortable for long listening sessions.
• Sound: 30mm carbon-fiber drivers deliver a wide, immersive soundstage.
• Battery life: Around 30 hours per charge.
• Controls: Touch controls on the right earcup for play/pause/skip/volume.
• Review consensus: Widely praised in reviews (scores around mid-90s in many outlets).

Notes & buying tips

The XM5 was succeeded by the XM6, which adds improvements, but the XM5 still offers excellent value when discounted. Deals at $274 have been spotted at certain retailers and third-party listings; Amazon official listings often range higher (~$328–$399), so compare offers before buying.
