The simple fact is thatSonyWH-1000XM5 are some of the world’s best headphones – combining looks, tech, and sound quality – and thanks to the earlyMemorial Day sales, they’re now on offerfor $348 (was $399)at Amazon.
A $50 price cut may not seem like the most outrageous saving, but this deal equals their lowesteverprice across trusted online retailers (a price cut first seen during the sales extravaganza we all know as Black Friday) on what are hands-down top class Sony flagship cans.
It’s a solid 13% off deal – and one that’s arguably even better value thanAmazon’s current listing on the slightly older WH-1000XM4 (for $278), although they’re still a solid steal for that money when you consider the launch price of $349.99.
Sony WH-1000XM5: lowest-ever price
Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones:was$399 now$348 at AmazonA combination of class-leading noise cancelation, stunning sound quality, and a beautifully refined design makes the Sony WH-1000XM5 easily some of the best headphones money can buy. They aren’t cheap, of course, but today’s early Memorial Day deal at Amazon equals the best price we’ve ever seen for these excellent cans – a deal that matches their Black Friday saving.
Why would we plump for the XM5? Because while theSony WH-1000XM5aren’t the biggest jump up from the previous model, they’re still leagues ahead of most rival brands' offerings. For the money, you get class-leading noise cancellation, great sound quality and a newly revised design that’s more reminiscent of high-end offerings from Bose than the usually utilitarian Sony fare.
They’re quite simply the complete package, albeit one that still comes with a fairly high price tag. Those on the hunt for thebest headphonesmoney can buy should look to the Sony WH-1000XM5.
