If you’ve been searching for a pair of high-end noise-canceling earbuds, but don't want to pay full price, we've got a deal for you. The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds — some of the best around — are less than $215 on this random Thursday.

As of July 31, you can pick up a pair of WF-1000XM5 noise-cancelling earbuds for $213 at Amazon instead of the usual $299.99. That's a savings of nearly 30% or about $86.99 you'll get to keep in your pocket. Due to an inflated list price, Amazon makes the deal look slightly better than it actually is. But regardless, saving $87 is still a pretty decent bargain.

While we wish they were named better, the mouthful of a name doesn't detract from how great these earbuds are. Not only are they the best earbuds Sony has to offer, but they're also some of the best-sounding earbuds we've tested overall. "The WF-1000XM5 sit safely atop the true wireless throne," Mashable's reviewer writes. "Two years in and they still maintain a heavy lead over industry favorites like the AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds."

If rich sound quality is important to you, but you don't want to carry around clunky over-ear headphones, these babies are your best bet. Our reviewer called them "sonic bliss." They're also praised for their excellent noise cancellation, comfortable and lightweight design, customizable EQ, high-resolution audio support, and impressive battery life (up to 12 hours on a single charge, 36 with the case).

They've been cheaper than this before, most recently on Prime Day. But if you don't feel like waiting around for another holiday or shopping event in hopes of a bigger price drop, this is still a pretty solid discount for Sony's premium wireless earbuds.
