Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are $243 during Amazon Big Spring Sale

Amazon is hosting a fantastic lightning sale on every color of the Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones, offering them for $243 (originally $399) for a limited time. This is one of the biggest price reductions we’ve ever seen. Outside of a February discount at Adorama that briefly sold them for $204.56, we haven’t seen them fall below $250 price. The discount comes during the final day of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which ends at 2:59AM ET on April 1st.

At this discounted price, the XM5 are over $200 cheaper than their successor, the $458 XM6.

The XM5s that released in 2022 still sound incredible, with some of the best active noise cancellation available in over-ear headphones. Plus, they’re comfortable to wear for long durations. Even with its successor on the market, Sony’s steeply discounted headphones are worth picking up, especially at this price. Read our review of the WH-1000XM5 headphones.
