eBay Beats Out Amazon’s Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Canceling Headphone Deal for Prime Day

For Prime Day, Amazon is advertising the venerable Sony WH-1000XM5 noise canceling wireless headphones for $298. However, eBay absolutely crushes this deal with a far better offer. Right now you can pick one up for just $238.40 after you apply the 20% off code “JULYFINDS“. Mind you this is for a brand new item and Buydig is an authorized Sony reseller so you get the full manufacturer’s warranty. The Sony XM5 is one of the best noise canceling headphones you can get for under $400 and it consistently ranks at the top of the heap in our buying guide. There’s a new XM6 model that came out for 2025, but you’ll have to pay $200 more to get it, and I doubt it’s worth the price diffference.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for $238

Sony WH1000XM5 Review by Kevin Lee

“The Sony WH-1000XM5 is the big upgrade we’ve been waiting for from Sony’s flagship wireless headphones. The new design and AI makes the noise-canceling stronger while the ambient listening mode is splendidly natural. Audio quality is impeccable too – whether you want to listen to intricate classical music or a rocking action movie, these headphones can do it all.”

The prior generation Sony XM4 was already an outstanding headphone, but the XM5 features key improvements in noise cancellation and comfort. The XM5 has been fitted with a second processor and double the microphone count dedicated to filtering out ambient noise. The earcups have also been redesigned so that they fit more snugly on the ear, thus creating a better seal and as a result, more effective passive noise isolation. The noise cancelling is noticeably better than the XM4 and pretty much any other noise cancelling headset in its price range.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 has also been updated with a noticeably sleeker redesign with a different style of headband adjustment. The band is wider than before for better weight distribution and the earcup padding is now made of a luxurious synthetic leather material that’s softer and more comfortable. You can easily wear these headphones for hours. One small drawback, however, is that the XM5 can no longer be folded inward, only swivelled, so it’s less compact.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 retains the XM4’s excellent battery life at over 30 hours on a single charge even with ANC activated. The XM5 also supports fast charging over USB Type-C.

eBay is on a hot streak with another excellent headphone deal

If you’re looking for the best price on a pair of Bose’s flagship noise canceling headphones, once again it won’t be an Amazon Prime Day deal. Right now, Bose via eBay is offering the certified refurbished Bose QuietComfort Ultra Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones for just $263.20 after you apply a 20% off coupon code “JULYFINDS” in your shopping cart. As a comparison, a brand new pair would run you $429. You’d be saving 40% off the retail price and you even get an extended 2 year All-State warranty. The Ultra is Bose’s latest and greatest noise cancelling headphone and goes toe-to-toe with Sony’s equally expensive Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones.
