If you’ve been eyeing a pair of high-end noise-canceling earbuds, Prime Day has delivered a standout deal. The Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless earbuds are on sale for $198, down from their usual price of $299.99 — a hefty $100 savings and one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for these flagship earbuds.

The WF-1000XM5 are Sony’s top-tier earbuds. Could they be named better? Sure, but even still, they're praised for their excellent noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and comfortable, lightweight design. They’re smaller and sleeker than previous models but still pack in features like adaptive sound control, high-resolution audio support (with compatible devices), and multi-device pairing. Battery life is also solid, with up to eight hours on a single charge and an additional 16 hours from the case.

If you're after a premium pair of earbuds that handle everything from podcasts to playlists with ease, this deal is worth jumping on. This Prime Day discount won’t stick around long, so if you’ve been waiting to upgrade, now’s the time.
