Get up to $152 off the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for Prime Day
We typically see solid deals on headphones and earbuds for Prime Day every year, and this time around is no different. We're a couple days into Prime Day now, but one of the best deals is still in stock: Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on sale for up to $152 off. The black option has that steep discount, bringing it down to $248. All other colorways are $102 off and down to $298. These are some of the best discounts we've seen on these cans all year. These headphones once topped our list of the best wireless headphones before being usurped by the XM6. They are still fantastic, despite being slightly outshined by the newer kid on the block. We praised the "supreme comfort" and "great sound" in our official review, along with the powerful ANC technology. The battery life is also incredible here. Users can expect around 30 hours per charge, which will more than handle a long train ride or flight. It's also lighter than the XM4, which adds to the overall comfort. There are touch controls on the outside panel of the right ear cup, with the ability to play, pause, skip tracks and adjust the volume. These cans also work with various voice assistants and there's an affiliated app that allows for even more customization. The headphones offer multipoint connectivity and there are a handful of integrated microphones for phone calls. The only downside here remains the price, which has been somewhat alleviated by this sale. If your budget is tighter, Sony still sells the WH-1000XM4 headphones and they're on sale for $185 thanks to Prime Day. Since the XM6 cans are the latest and greatest, this model is getting a bit old at this point — but it could be a good option for those looking to spend less than $200 on a good set of ANC headphones.

Get a whopping 34 per cent discount on these five-star wireless headphones from Sony
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The recently released, and excellent, Sony WH-1000XM6 will cost you $450; but if you're looking for a great deal on some of the best wireless headphones, consider the WH-1000XM4 from Sony instead. Both are five-star beauties, but the older XM4s are now half the price of the latest model. That means you can pick them up for only $228 at Amazon. In our review we say they deliver dynamic and detail-rich sound that could be described as a sonic masterclass. They also have a sensational sense of timing and are comfy to wear. This is the complete package at an unbelievably tempting price. What are you waiting for? After being superseded by the XM5s and now the XM6s, you might think these should be immediately dismissed. But the Sony WH-1000XM4 are still miles ahead of most of their rivals, and at this price, they are worth every penny. When we reviewed them, we were wowed by their sparkling sound and stellar construction. Winners then, winners now, winners until the very end. Deal on all black, blue, and silver colorwaysView Deal If you were to ask us if there's a more entertaining pair of premium wireless headphones than the Sony WH-1000XM4, in all honesty, we would struggle to think of any. The WH-1000XM5 brings Sony's premium line further into the future, of course, with enhanced features and sensational levels of sonic clarity, but the former Award winners have such a marvellous feel for your music that it's hard to tire of their sound. Some of our testing team still prefer the XM4 over almost all other cans, such is their stunning sonic prowess. They are also incredibly easy headphones to live with. They fold away, so they're perfect for daily commuting, while their soft earpads and nicely judged clamping pressure only add to their on-the-go credentials. You don't end up feeling short-changed on features either. A 30-hour battery life is a long way from a disgrace; the noise cancelling is excellent, the touch controls work nicely, and – this being a pair of Sony headphones – there's DSEE upscaling for cleaning up poor-quality audio files. What more could you want? To us, the Sony WH-1000XM4 could be all the headphones you need at this level. Grab them at Amazon now.
