With Amazon Prime Big Deal Days in full swing, now is a better time than ever to snatch up some major sales. Along with home essentials and beauty must-haves, we’re definitely eyeing the 25% off sale on Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones. That brings the price down from $400 to under $300, saving you over $100 in total. It’s definitely worth your while if you’re in the market for a high-quality listening experience.
Preceding Sony’s latest wireless creation, the WH-1000XM6 headphones, these WH-1000XM5s are a lighter and less expensive option that offers similar value. Considered top-of-the-line for noise cancellation, they feature two sound processors that can automatically optimize cancellation, based on your environment. They also produce fantastic sound with a new Integrated Processor V1. For hands-free calling, four beamforming microphones pick up on voices with close precision.
These headphones were also designed for comfort. Compared to the WH-1000XM6, they’re slightly lighter with larger, soft earcups. If you take the headphones off, the music automatically pauses. It then starts up again when you put them back on. Similarly, the speak-to-chat function also automatically pauses your music whenever you speak. Plus, the WH-1000XM5s are available in four color options: Smoky Pink, Black, Silver and Midnight Blue.
Buyer’s remorse seems unlikely, based on the 4.3-star average rating and more than 18,000 reviews. Shoppers commend them for the high sound quality and comfortable design. “These are amazing. Main use for me is traveling,” one review reads. “They do muffle out the outside noise. The sound quality for music and movies is great!!!”
“Comfortable and lightweight!” another reviewer writes. “Sony never disappoints.”
If you aren’t a Prime member, you can also purchase them from Sony directly, where they’re also on sale for pretty much the same price. The benefit of doing so would get you extra warranty coverage and membership rewards. However, Amazon delivers more quickly. Regardless of where you get them, though, now’s clearly an optimal time to make your purchase—just act quickly, because this price won’t last long!
