The Sony WH-1000XM5 is currently on sale for $298, which is about $100 off and near a record low. Best of all, the discount applies to all color options: black, midnight blue, silver and smokey pink. We gave it to WH-1000XM5 95 in our review When Sony released them in 2022 and they still hold their own against all their new competitors.
