Sony WH-1000XM5 tumble to record-low price at Amazon — here's why our experts recommend these 'class-leading' headphones
Looking for your next pair of headphones? The Sony WH-1000XM5 are easily some of the best on the market — especially at this price.
TechRadar has always praised Sony's premium noise-cancelling headphones, so today's significant reduction in price on the Sony WH-1000XM5 during Amazon's Labor Day sale earns our unreserved endorsement. Currently priced at just $198 (down from $399), these headphones represent the previous low-point in their pricing history. They have only dropped to this price once before, back in late June, making this a remarkable opportunity to acquire a top-tier pair of noise-cancelling headphones for work, daily commutes, or even college studies.
While newer sixth-generation models have since been introduced, the Sony WH-1000XM5 maintains its place among the best headphones available today. Some of their standout features include a rich and detailed sound experience, excellent active noise cancellation, and a comfortable fit suitable for extended use. When they were first released, we found the price tag to be a bit steep, but today's Amazon discount rectifies that concern.
In summary, these headphones represent the pinnacle of Sony's high-end wireless over-ear lineup. The previous XM4 and XM3 models were also exceptional, but Sony's XM5 offering is hard to beat, particularly at this price point of $150 off. Although they lack folding mechanisms like the XM4, the XM5's overall performance and value make them a hard sell to criticize. Our five-star review from our initial assessment still holds true – these headphones are simply the best available.
