Black Friday sales are in full swing in the tech world, and one of the best deals right now is our top pick for the best wireless headphones available. Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are down to $298, which equates to a $100 discount. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. It briefly dropped to $280 earlier this year, but I haven’t seen that price since. If you’re on a budget, consider the WH-1000XM4 headphones, which are a generation older but have many of the same features. Currently on sale for $200.
We’ve been recommending Sony’s 1000X series for a long time, and this is the best yet. It received a score of 95 in our review. The redesigned headphones are much more comfortable to wear for long periods of time than previous models.

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are $102 off on Black Friday. These are our picks for the best wireless headphones overall.

Sony has also improved its active noise cancellation (ANC) capabilities with the addition of a new chip and four microphones. We feel that the company’s current flagship headphones do a better job of blocking high frequencies and background noise (and even human voices) than the XM4.
XM5 can switch between noise modes depending on your location and activity, and can automatically pause audio when you start speaking. It offers better call quality than competing models, and generally has clear, crisp sound with punchy bass. The XM5 has a 30-hour battery life, so you won’t need to charge it often.
