The highly acclaimed Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are available for $300 via Amazon. This deal takes $100 off the price and gives you a 25% discount. This sale applies to multiple colorways including black, blue, and silver.
These headphones not only made our list of the best wireless headphones, they were our very favorite pair. I found the headphones to be very comfortable, even when wearing them for long periods of time. The ANC is great and the battery life is about 30 hours on a single charge, which is a great indicator.
Sound is the most important thing in headphones, and this model is no slouch. We were impressed by the “crisp, clear sound with balanced tuning and punchy bass.” This is due to the new 30mm carbon fiber driver. In the official review, I felt that the bass was more powerful than the previous model. “The bass is pleasant and strong, expanding the overall soundstage,” we noted.
I’ve had occasional audio issues with macOS, but that was two years ago and I believe they’ve all been patched by now. Another drawback is the price. Spending $400 on something like over-ear headphones is a lot. But this deal brings the price down to $300, making it much more comfortable.
