Premium sound usually comes at a high asking price, but not right now. With Prime Day in full swing, you can now grab one of the best high-end Bluetooth headphones from Sony at a seriously low price.
Yep, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are now on sale, and I honestly didn't expect to see them discounted by this much: a whopping 50% off. Sure, they're not exactly a no-brainer right now, as you'll still have to cough up about $200 for a set, but it's really hard to argue against them at that price.
After all, we're looking at premium headphones with an absolutely fantastic design, which allows all-day wear without fatigue and ANC that can completely silence the world around you.
Indeed, as my colleague pointed out in the Sony WH-1000XM5 review, the ANC is one of the highlights of this model, making it a strong AirPods Max 2 competitor. Once you put them on, the world around you goes silent. Thanks to Sony's tuning, you won't hear clicky keyboard clacks, air conditioner hums, and annoying traffic rumbles.
Users who prefer mostly balanced audio will definitely like how these headphones perform in the sound quality department. They give you a refined audio with perfectly tuned lows and sparkling highs, giving you a top-class listening experience.
In case you're used to fine-tuning the experience, Sony's companion app lets you tailor the bass, mids, and other frequencies to achieve the ideal listening profile.
Battery life isn't half bad here, either, although it's definitely not the best in class. On a single charge, you can expect up to 30 hours of playtime. That should be plenty for a couple of workdays, maybe even more if you don't use them every spare minute.
However you look at it, few over-ear headphones under $200 can beat the WH-1000XM5. If you've always wanted to grab a pair but their standard $400 asking price put you off, now's your chance. Act fast, though, as this promo may actually vanish before Prime Day ends.
