Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones return to lowest price
Sony's WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling headphones are available for $198, their lowest price to date, as part of a Labor Day sale. The headphones offer high-quality audio and comfort.
Sony's WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones have dropped to $198 at retailers including Amazon and Best Buy, marking their lowest price on record. This discount is part of a week-long Labor Day sale event.
Originally launched at $399.99, the headphones typically retail for around $250. The current $198 price matches their previous low during Prime Day 2026, but is now accessible without a Prime subscription.
Released in 2022, the WH-1000XM5 are still considered strong performers, offering significant active noise cancellation and audio quality. While newer models like the XM6 exist with incremental improvements, the XM5 remain a compelling option for value-conscious consumers.
Sony continues to be a major player in the audio market, with its 1000X series headphones consistently recognized for their blend of sound fidelity, comfort, and noise-cancelling technology.
