Sony's Spectacular WH-1000XM5 ANC Headphones Hit a New Record-Low Price (Save $120)

Improve your productivity in the new year with a pair of the best noise-canceling headphones on the market -- and save yourself $120. Right now, Amazon has the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones on sale for just $279. That's a new record-low price for the over-ear cans by quite some distance with 30% off their regular price. 

Awkward name aside, these are the best headphones you can buy going into 2023, but they certainly aren't a budget pick at their usual $400 going rate. Launched in 2022, the lowest we had previously seen them go was $348 so today's deal is well worth jumping on while you can. 

Equipped with eight internal microphones and dual processors, the WH-1000XM5 boast some of the most effective noise-canceling capabilities on the market right now. They also have four beamforming microphones and a convenient speak-to-chat function that temporarily pauses your music once you start talking.

Thanks to Sony's LDAC technology, they also support high-resolution audio, even over Bluetooth, and upscale your compressed music files with AI assistance. They feature intuitive touch controls, and will even automatically pause your music when you take the headphones off. They can also pair with multiple devices at once, and boast an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge.
