Headphone deals are arriving just in time for summer, and those in the market for new over-ears may want to consider this next entry. Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale is ongoing, and it includes a $150 discount on the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, which are the last-gen version of our favorite headphones overall.
While there were some improvements made to the Sony WH-1000XM6 model, the WH-1000XM5s are still a great pair, and they’ll definitely save you some extra money. They offer a high-quality audio profile, active noise cancellation, clear call quality, and a long-lasting battery. The headband and speaker cups offer a comfortable, adjustable fit that makes them perfect even for longer listening periods.
✅Recommended if: you’re looking for a pair of headphones with a powerful, high-quality sound profile, as well as ANC, app customization, and more; you want to go with the best wireless Android headphones but would rather save a little extra money going last generation; battery life is important to you when it comes to buying wireless headphones.
❌Skip this deal if: you specifically need a pair of headphones with support for the aptX codec; you’d rather go with a cheaper device, even if it means compromising a little on audio quality; you’re looking for a highly durable pair of headphones.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are a solid pair of wireless headphones, boasting up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC turned on, or up to 45 hours without. Purchase comes with a useful travel case and a USB charging cable that Sony says will deliver up to three hours of listening time with a three-minute charge.
You can also customize the audio using the Sony mobile app, offering preset audio profiles or the ability to EQ them yourself. Additionally, they’ve got multi-point connection, Speak to Chat, and an enhanced Precise Voice Pickup technology for crisp, clear phone calls.
All in all, this is a good price point if you were thinking about picking up some new headphones, and it should remain active through the holiday weekend.
