Deal | Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones hit all-time low on Amazon

The Japanese tech behemoth Sony arguably makes some amazing headphones, but with an official MSRP of almost US$400, the WH-1000XM5 are also prohibitively expensive for responsible buyers who are trying to stick to a budget. Fortunately, the aforementioned pair of noise-cancelling over-ears has now received a significant price cut prior to this year's Black Friday sales event.

To be more precise, several US online retailers including Amazon and Best Buy are now selling all three color variants of the Sony WH-1000XM5 for 18 percent off the official list price. Consequently, the wireless Bluetooth headphones can now be ordered for US$329 including free shipping. Camelcamelcamel's price history illustrates that this US$70 discount results in the lowest sale price thus far for this Sony product, which has only been on the market for a little more than five months.

In addition to an impressive ANC performance that can block out disturbing noises on trains or in other busy places, these Sony headphones sport a decent battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge, and just like the popular predecessor of the WH-1000XM5, they support practical multi device connections. Thanks to a highly recommended software update, this feature is now also available in conjunction with the high-fidelity LDAC Bluetooth codec.

Buyers who aren't convinced that the Sony WH-1000XM5 are worth their price might want to check out Rtings' comprehensive review, which contains numerous detailed measurement and further impressions of the wireless over-ears. For example, the high-end headphones have been praised for their good build quality and long battery life, but the testers have also noted that the headband does apply some pressure which can become uncomfortable during extended use. Nevertheless, this deal is a great opportunity to pick up one of the most sought-after headphones on the market at a noticeably discounted price.
