Several retailers have dropped the price on one of Sony’s best wireless noise canceling headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5 is currently $249.99 after a $150 off instant discount. However, Amazon is doing one better than everyone else by also throwing in a free pair of Sony WF-C700N true wireless noise canceling earbuds. This bundle is estimated to be delivered before Christmas. Despite being a generation older, 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.

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.”
Despite being released back in 2022, the Sony WH-1000XM5 is still considered one of the best noise canceling headphones. It excels in all three key categories: sound quality, noise canceling performance, and ergonomics. The battery life is respectable at 30 plus hours, and the XM5 has been updated with USB Type-C charging.
The Sony WF-C700N you get as a freebie is a true wireless earbud with active noise canceling. This is an in-ear style earbud that also does a good job of creating a passive seal. It features an IPX4 water resistant rating, so it’s great for workouts when your over-ear headphone is too cumbersome to wear. Sony is probably trying to clear out inventory to make room for its successor, the WF-C710N, which was released earlier this year.
Looking for the latest and greatest?
The best Black Friday deal on Sony’s newest flagship wireless noise cancelling headphones has returned. eBay (via either Buydig or Electronic Express) is offering a brand new pair of Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones for just $318.40 after you apply off coupon code “HOLIDAYRUSH“. That’s a 30% discount off the $450 list price and matches the best deal I saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. eBay estimates free delivery before Christmas. Both retailers are authorized Sony resellers, so you get the full manufacturer’s warranty.
