Have you always wanted a pair of Sony’s latest premium wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM5? Well, we get it; they are super lightweight and offer great 360-degree immersive sound, not to mention they’re decked out with Sony’s industry-leading ANC technology. By the way, the XM5 are now available at Walmart at 20% off their price tag, in case you don’t feel like coughing up almost $300 to get them at their regular price.
Granted, scoring $61 in savings on the in-ear XM5 doesn’t sound like a lavishly good deal. Then again, these first hit the shelves less than a year ago. So, if you ask us, it’s still a bit early for discounts in the $100+ range to spring up like mushrooms. Another thing you should keep in mind is that the latest high-end wireless earbuds by Sony didn’t come at better prices even on Black Friday.
To sweeten this already sweet deal, we couldn’t find available offers on non-renewed Sony WF-1000XM5 at Best Buy or Amazon. Evidently, Walmart’s deal might not be super generous, savings-wise, but it’s the best one available at all three stores. So far, so good – but are these puppies worth the investment?
Then again, the XM5 give you slightly overemphasized lower frequencies out of the box. In other words, they may be a bit bassy for some people’s taste. On the bright side, their proprietary app lets you access multiple EQ settings, allowing you to tweak the soundstage to your liking.
Batter-wise, these bad boys offer about the same battery life as their predecessors, giving you about eight hours of listening time on a single charge or up to 24 hours with the case included.
Ultimately, the Sony WF-1000XM5 are decked out with almost all the latest bells and whistles in wireless earbud technology. They undoubtedly are a bit pricey, but given all their fantastic features and premium design, we’d say they should be worth the investment.
