The simple fact is that Sony WH-1000XM5 are some of the world's best headphones – combining looks, tech, and sound quality – and thanks to the early Memorial Day sales, they're now on offer for $348 (was $399) at Amazon.
A $50 price cut may not seem like the most outrageous saving, but this deal equals their lowest ever price across trusted online retailers (a price cut first seen during the sales extravaganza we all know as Black Friday) on what are hands-down top class Sony flagship cans.
It's a solid 13% off deal – and one that's arguably even better value than Amazon's current listing on the slightly older WH-1000XM4 (for $278), although they're still a solid steal for that money when you consider the launch price of $349.99.
Sony WH-1000XM5: lowest-ever price
Why would we plump for the XM5? Because while the Sony WH-1000XM5 aren't the biggest jump up from the previous model, they're still leagues ahead of most rival brands' offerings. For the money, you get class-leading noise cancellation, great sound quality and a newly revised design that's more reminiscent of high-end offerings from Bose than the usually utilitarian Sony fare.
They're quite simply the complete package, albeit one that still comes with a fairly high price tag. Those on the hunt for the best headphones money can buy should look to the Sony WH-1000XM5.
