  "account": "Amazon has slashed the price of Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones by 50%, bringing them down to $198. These headphones, released a few years ago, are now at their lowest price ever ahead of Labor Day. Although the newer XM6 models have an updated Bluetooth version and stronger noise cancellation, the XM5 still offers excellent noise cancellation and remains a great option. With the same battery life as the newer model, the XM5 delivers bright, clear, and exciting sound while staying comfortable for extended wear.",
