For Prime Day, Amazon just discounted the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise canceling wireless headphones from its original retail price of $400 all the way down to $197 with free shipping. This is the lowest price I've seen since its release and the first time ever that the XM5 has dipped below $200 (not counting refurbished or open box deals). This is one of the best headphones we've reviewed and dominates in its new-found sub-$200 category.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 is the non-gaming headphone I've been using for more than a few years now and I absolutely love it. I find no need to upgrade to the XM6 model, which costs $300 or more new.
The XM5 is still one of the best noise canceling headphones available, both in terms of audio quality and ANC performance. The XM5 is fitted with custom-designed 30mm drivers, giving it audio fidelity compared to previous models. The earcups provide a great seal for effective passive isolation. On the noise canceling front, the XM5 has been fitted with a second processor and eight total microphones dedicated to filtering out ambient noise.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 looks sleek and feels comfortable to wear, even for hours at a time. The headband is amply padded and wrapped in synthetic leather. The earpads are made of the same material and are upholstered in memory foam. A hard shell carrying case is also included for easy transport. Finally, the XM5 can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, even with ANC activated, and it supports fast-charging over USB-C.
Used Like New
If you want Sony's newest model, I've got you covered. Amazon Resale is offering Used Like New Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless noise canceling headphones for just $268.99 shipped after a 15% discount that's applied during checkout.The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones is the 2025 successor to the WH-1000XM5. Both sound quality and noise cancelation have been noticeably improved on the XM6 thanks to a more powerful QN3 audio processor and a total of 12 beam-forming microphones that do a great job of picking up and cancelling out unwanted noise. The XM6 is also more comfortable to wear because of the hinged earcups. The same design also allows the XM6 to be more easily stowed away since the earcups can be folded inwards to fit in a smaller carrying case.
