While the market is flooded with excellent headphones, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 ANC model stands out in a league of its own. Now, the allure of acquiring our favorite wireless headphones of the year has surged with an 18 percent discount, reducing the price of Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones from $400 to just $330. This deal comes remarkably close to their all-time-low price of $328, which was offered during Prime Day.
What sets the WH-1000XM5 headphones apart, even a year and a half after Sony’s initial release, is their exceptional combination of features. They deliver remarkable sound quality that is both crisp and clear, with a robust bass, all while offering an impressive 30 hours of battery life. The M5 headphones feature a total of eight ANC microphones, doubling the number of their predecessor. Furthermore, the wireless headphones boast an updated design that makes the 0.55-pound device feel light and exceptionally comfortable. It’s no surprise that we awarded them a score of 95 in our initial review.
Sony’s top-tier headphones provide all the necessary controls without requiring you to reach for your phone. You can easily change songs, make calls, or adjust the noise mode using a combination of physical and touch control buttons. The noise mode can also adapt automatically as you go about your day. To add to the convenience, the Speak-to-Chat feature will pause your audio as soon as you begin speaking.
