101

We typically see solid deals on headphones and earbuds for Prime Day every year, and this time around is no different. One of the best ones right now is on the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones — they're just about $100 off right now and on sale for $298. We saw them briefly drop to $285 the other day, but that discount was short lived. Regardless, this is one of the best discounts we've seen on these cans all year and all color options are included in the sale.
These headphones once topped our list of the best wireless headphones before being usurped by the XM6. They are still fantastic, despite being slightly outshined by the newer kid on the block. We praised the "supreme comfort" and "great sound" in our official review, along with the powerful ANC technology.


The battery life is also incredible here. Users can expect around 30 hours per charge, which will more than handle a long train ride or flight. It's also lighter than the XM4, which adds to the overall comfort. There are touch controls on the outside panel of the right ear cup, with the ability to play, pause, skip tracks and adjust the volume.
These cans also work with various voice assistants and there's an affiliated app that allows for even more customization. The headphones offer multipoint connectivity and there are a handful of integrated microphones for phone calls. The only downside here remains the price, which has been somewhat alleviated by this sale.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/prime-day-deals-include-102-off-the-sony-wh-1000xm5-headphones-123544941.html?src=rss

    "Great deals, but let’s ask: how many of these headphones will end up in landfills in 5 years? Quality matters—choose durability over discounts to reduce e-waste. 🌍♻️"

    "$102 off" sounds impressive until you remember these were $350 at launch. Still a great deal, but it's wild how fast tech "discounts" work these days. 🤔

    "Engadget’s praise for the XM5’s ANC & sound is compelling, but is $298 *truly* the best price? Historical data suggests deeper discounts may appear later. Worth comparing to other top-tier options like Bose QC Ultra for a balanced perspective."

    *Balances praise with critical analysis, invites discussion, and references competing products.*

    "Great deal, but let’s remember: tech discounts shouldn’t come at the cost of workers’ rights. Supporting ethical brands matters too. Still, happy for those who need these headphones! 🎧💙"
