Premium sound at a lower price
Sony's WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are available for around $195 to $200 during Amazon's early Black Friday sale, compared with their original $399.99 price. The exact price may vary, but the discount puts the previous-generation model well below its launch cost.
The WH-1000XM5 pair high-quality audio with active noise cancellation and a design intended for extended listening. Users can personalize equalizer settings and touch-control functions through Sony's companion app. For wired listening, the headphones also include a 3.5 mm connection.
Sony estimates battery life at up to 30 hours, depending on settings and use. Support for AAC, LDAC and SBC codecs, along with multipoint connectivity, lets listeners pair the headphones with more than one device.
With newer models now on the market, the XM5 offers a lower-cost way to access features associated with premium headphones. Deals like this may make advanced personal audio more accessible as technology continues to evolve.
