It's the final day of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, and the clock is ticking. Some of the best deals on laptops, iPads, and headphones have already ended, but we do have one new deal that's arrived at the last minute. It's a tech deal that sounds awesome — quite literally: a $155 discount on the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Headphones, the previous-gen version of Sony's flagship model.

We named the Sony XM5 headphones a Mashable Choice product and rated them 4.7/5 in our review, and the new XM6 model (which are no longer on sale, sadly) are only marginally better. So, this is your chance to get flagship-quality cans for under $250.

According to camelcamelcamel, the $243 sale price is $5 lower than these headphones' previous lowest-ever price, making this a new record low. This is also a Lightning Deal at Amazon, meaning this day will be here today and gone tomorrow.

While there is a more advanced version of these headphones available, the difference between those and this discounted pair is marginal. Sony's signature sound is well-known for its quality — pretty much the best sound you can get outside of specialist audiophile tech — which combines with probably the best noise cancellation in existence.

Other great audio features included fully customizable EQ via the Sony Sound Connect app, a massive 30 hours of battery, and a speak-to-chat function that pauses the music whenever you start a conversation IRL. Throw in Alexa and intuitive on-ear touch controls, and these babies offer the best value headphone tech you'll find today.

Don't miss your last chance to get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones at a record low price of $243 — a $156.99 discount for the last day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale.
