↗
Sony's WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are available for $198 at Amazon and Best Buy, a roughly 50% discount from their original $399.99 price and matching their previous all-time low.
This matches the lowest price previously seen only during Prime Day 2026, now without requiring a Prime subscription. For anyone considering premium noise-canceling headphones, the XM5 at this price may offer better value than the newer XM6, which offers only slight improvements.
