SAVE $51.99: The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are down to their lowest-ever price on Amazon as of Nov. 28 as a part of Cyber Monday. That's a discount of 13%.


While the holiday season brings plenty of joy, there are also times when you want to shut yourself away from the rest of the family, put on a pair of headphones with adequate noise-canceling, and just chill. Or maybe you need some hands-free listening to focus during a busy work day. Whatever the reason, the versatile Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones can definitely come to your aid.

These Sony wireless noise-canceling headphones are available on Amazon through Cyber Monday at $348, which is $51.99 lower than their MSRP and their lowest-ever price on the retailer. These headphones were awarded a near-perfect rating by Assistant Reviews Editor Miller Kern. Given that they hit shelves barely six months ago, this deal is as good as it gets.

The sleek headphones have soft and cushiony ear cups that are comfortable to wear especially if you have larger ears and the 30-hour battery life is over 50% more than the previous WH-1000XM4 headphones, while three minutes of quick charging gifts you with three hours of playback time.

Moreover, these Sony headphones come with some in-built features that allow you to seamlessly move from one mode to the other. Placing your palm over the right ear cup helps you to switch to ambient mode, which is great when you are at the crosswalk looking to avoid traffic. The noise cancelation optimizer also effectively blocks out most noise to limit any significant auditory disturbances. You can go a step ahead and customize the auditory options in the app to manage the levels of ambient sound or to open your Spotify account at the touch of a button.

The one downside that comes with these headphones is their lack of water resistance, which could make them difficult to use during an intense workout at the gym. Nevertheless, their benefits far outweigh their limitations and make them a must-buy.
