This holiday’s sales across Black Friday and soon Cyber Monday have seen prices slashed on all types of hardware, but it’s the headphones and sound equipment that have seen some of the best discounts. Sony’s WH-1000XM5 are at the top of most people’s wishlists, and with the 25% discount available, now’s the best time to pick them up.
Ordinarily priced at $400, you can now pick up Sony’s flagship noise cancelling headphones for $298. This is an absolute steal on what we consider some of the most competitive, value-for-money headphones out there.

The standout feature on the XM5s is the noise cancelling technology which will keep all of the outside sound out of your ears, so you can focus on your music, phone calls, and podcasts. Advanced noise cancelling tech is powered by two processors that listen through eight different microphones. There’s also the Auto NC Optimizer which takes in environmental inputs and uses it to curate an optimised listening experience.
The battery is another reason to ring home. There’s 30 hours of battery life, and with a compatible USB Power Delivery adapter, you can even haul in three hours of charge in just three minutes.
