Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones - 30% Off at $278 During Big Spring Sale

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are $278 at Amazon today - a $122 discount from the standard $399.99. The WH-1000XM5 have consistently been rated the top over-ear noise-cancelling headphones by Wirecutter, RTINGS, and The Verge for three consecutive years.

Price context: The XM5 usually drops to $299-$349 during sales events. $278 is notably below the 30-day average of $299 and is among the lowest prices we’ve tracked.

Why they’re worth it: 30 hours of battery life (with ANC on), industry-leading noise cancellation via dual-chip processing, multipoint Bluetooth for connecting two devices simultaneously, and hands-free calling with noise isolation. These are the reference standard at this price point.

Deal context: Amazon Big Spring Sale ends March 31. If you’ve been watching these for under $300, this is a solid buy point.
