While Amazon is currently running a surprisingly large number of surprisingly great Labor Day sales on many of the best phones out there, probably the best high-end Bluetooth wireless headphones money can buy right now are still available at their $398 list price.
But that's where Amazon-owned Woot comes in, charging just $339.99 for the Sony WH-1000XM5 cans in a single black color option. As far as we know, this is the first-ever deal offered by a (semi) major US retailer on these "industry-leading" noise-cancelling headphones in brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged condition since their commercial debut a few months back.
On the not so bright side of things, you have (less than) 24 hours at the time of this writing to claim the relatively small but unprecedented and thus arguably important $60 discount, and before pulling the trigger, it's also definitely worth keeping in mind that Woot can only back your purchase with a 90-day warranty.
That's clearly inconvenient, but most likely not a complete deal breaker for bargain hunters enamored with the fresh design, powerful sound, and especially the state-of-the-art active noise cancellation technology of Sony's latest premium over-ear headphones.
Compared to the significantly costlier AirPods Max, for instance, the WH-1000XM5 also have superior battery life going for them (up to no less than 30 hours of uninterrupted listening time, to be exact), as well as blazing fast charging capabilities, top-notch voice call clarity thanks to a quartet of beamforming microphones, and last but not necessarily least, a very fashionable, portable, and useful carrying case included.
