Sony's Flagship Noise-Canceling Headphones Now at an All-Time Low for Cyber Monday
For those on a budget, Sony is offering its excellent WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones for as low as $248, the record-low price it hit during Prime Day. The previous generation of Sony's flagship noise-canceling headphones are now available with a significant discount of $152 from their normal retail price of $400.
Despite being an older model compared to the newer WH-1000XM6, the XM5 still delivers a fantastic audio experience, especially at this heavily discounted price. Reviewers praised the supremely comfortable redesign, sound quality, and powerful noise-canceling capabilities in our 2022 review, awarding them a score of 95.
The headphones boast impressive battery life, clocking in at 30 hours on a single charge. They also feature punchy bass and an overall sound that is deeper and more immersive than its predecessors, the M4 headphones. While not entirely "baby scream-proof," Sony's decision to double the number of microphones and processors used for noise-canceling means an improvement in blocking higher frequency sounds, such as human voices.
While the newer WH-1000XM6 model offers even better sound quality and noise cancellation at a price of $398, it's worth noting that this is still significantly more expensive than the XM5. However, considering the recent price drop on Cyber Monday, it seems that Sony is now offering its best value for most people with the XM5 deal.
