That\u2019s one of the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen on the older model, and a great deal on what was our favorite pair of noise-canceling headphones until the arrival of the newer XM6 in May.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Sony WH-1000XM5<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23454336\/DSCF7813.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"A man wearing Sony\u2019s black WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones outside.\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09XS7JWHH\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$399.99<\/strike> $250 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/sony-wh1000xm5-wireless-noise-canceling-over-the-ear-headphones-black\/6505727.p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$399.99<\/strike> $298 at <strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electronics.sony.com\/audio\/headphones\/headband\/p\/wh1000xm5-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$399.99<\/strike> $299.99 at <strong>Sony<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Although they\u2019re a few years old, the Sony XM5 still have a lot to offer, like excellent noise cancellation, detail-rich sound, and enhanced voice call quality thanks to the inclusion of eight microphones. They\u2019re also comfortable to wear over extended periods, with ear pads that are wider and offer just the right amount of cushion. And since the XM5s are mostly comprised of plastic \u2014 with some metal here and there \u2014 they\u2019re relatively lightweight at 250 grams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That said, if you travel a lot, the XM5\u2019s design may be seen as a downgrade compared to the older WH-1000XM4 and newer XM6. That\u2019s because the headphones can\u2019t fold. Instead, only the ear cups turn to lay the headphones flat, so they\u2019re not as easy to pack when they\u2019re in their case. However, if you plan to primarily use the XM5 at home, this is more or less a non-issue, but it\u2019s worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Sony is still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/789898\/sony-firmware-update-wf-1000xm5-wh-1000xm6-headphones-earbuds-audio-sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bolstering the XM5 with new features<\/a>, like audio sharing and Google\u2019s Gemini Live conversational AI assistant. So, not only do you get great noise-canceling headphones for $149 off, but you also get new features that improve the experience compared to when they first launched. That\u2019s a win-win.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Read our full review.<\/h5>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the WH-1000XM6 are the top dog in Sony\u2019s lineup, the discount for Prime Big Deal Days is relatively modest [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1394\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
