Sony’s XM5 ANC headphones hit one of the best Amazon prices ever at $150 off ($212 nuder XM6)

$150+ off/$248

While we are still holding out for Black Friday pricing on the fantastic new Sony WH-1000XM6 ANC headphones, you can bet they are not going to drop as low as we have on the still quite wonderful Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Noise Canceling Headphones. Regularly $400, the official Sony site is now offering early Black Friday pricing down at $249.99 shipped, while Amazon has all four colors down at $248 shipped. Details await below. 

Sony has now launched its official holiday sale, and one of the standout price drops has to be this $150+ price drop on the WH-1000XM5 headphones. Regularly $400, Amazon is now offering these cans for a couple bucks less to mark the return of Prime Day pricing and the lowest price we can find in brand new condition. 

They certainly aren’t the new XM6 set we happened to seriously love after testing them out for ourselves. But the XM5s are still a seriously great set of headphones and an option you can bring home at a dramatically lower price point. The chance of the XM6 seeing an official price drop from the regular $459 list price down to $300 is extremely low – like almost impossible – never mind at under $250. 

For a complete rundown of the differences between the two and the enhancement Sony is delivering on the 2025 XM6 series, hit up our in-depth hands-on review. And then dive into more of the standout early Black Friday headphone deals below:
