Finding peace and quiet can be quite challenging, especially for parents, frequent travelers, or those enduring never-ending construction noise. Trust me, I understand the struggle. However, there’s good news! Sony’s WH-1000XM5s are currently on sale for just $328, with a discount of $73, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. This is the lowest price they’ve ever been.
Sony’s WH-1000XM5s have been known for delivering exceptional sound quality since the release of the 1000X series over six years ago. While competition in this market has become fierce, with products like the recently launched Bose QuietComfort Ultra, the latest iteration of Sony’s flagship headphones continues to dominate with its outstanding active noise cancellation and crystal-clear, natural sound. The XM5s also offer a range of premium features at an affordable price, including multipoint Bluetooth support for connecting multiple devices simultaneously and a comfortable design. It’s no wonder they are considered the best noise-canceling headphones available.
While we haven’t had the opportunity to fully test Amazon’s 24-inch soundbar yet, based on our brief press demo, it appears to be a convenient solution for those looking to upgrade from their TV’s built-in speakers. While the audio quality may not be top-notch, it is sufficiently loud and compatible with Amazon’s streaming devices and Fire TV-branded televisions, making setup a breeze for those already integrated into the Amazon ecosystem. Additionally, it features Bluetooth connectivity, supports ARC and eARC, and includes Dolby Audio, putting it on par with other soundbars in its price range.
