Sony WH 1000XM5 Headphones Hit Prime Day Low of 250 Dollars For a limited time during Amazon Prime Day, you can pick up the Sony WH 1000XM5 wireless headphones for just 250 dollars. This represents a substantial 150 dollar discount from their original launch price and is just a single cent above their all time lowest price. While this model is a few years old, it remains a top tier choice, especially when compared to the newer, more expensive WH 1000XM6, which is also on sale for 20 dollars off. In our review, we scored the WH 1000XM5 a 95, highlighting its redesigned build for a major boost in comfort. Regarding sound, we found the bass on the XM5 to be punchier than previous models. It delivered more depth and clarity compared to the WH 1000XM4, creating a more immersive listening experience. Sony also doubled the number of processors and noise canceling microphones in this generation. This upgrade makes the headphones exceptionally good at blocking out higher frequency sounds, such as human voices. Naturally, the newer WH 1000XM6 offers improved sound quality and even better active noise cancellation. However, with a standard price of 450 dollars, and a Prime Day price of 428 dollars, it is a significantly larger investment. For those open to an older model, the Sony WH 1000XM4 is also on sale for 188 dollars. Released in 2020, its features are dated next to the newer versions, but the WH 1000X line has consistently been among the best, and a five year old model from this series can still outperform many newer headphones on the market. This Prime Day deal on the XM5 offers a fantastic balance of premium features and value.
