Sony’s WH-1000 series has long been a favorite among audiophiles, thanks to its unbeatable noise cancellation and crystal-clear sound. The Sony WH-1000XM5 takes it up a notch, keeping the streak alive as a gold standard for wireless headphones.

Sony is always near the top of the pile for headphone makers. Sony cans are always highly rated; from the top-of-the-line WH-1000XM5 and their matching high price tag to affordable models, you can rely on Sony to offer good sound.

You look at Apple’s over-the-ear headphones and see they are appropriately called the AirPods Max. Samsung has a line of earbuds named the Galaxy Buds, fitting in with the rest of its Galaxy lineup of personal devices.

Sony's WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones are currently discounted by a big 43%, and are now priced at $198—down from their original $348 list price. That's almost half off if you go with this deal on a top-quality set.
