The Sony wireless headphones and speakers you wanted all year are up to 40% off during Amazon’s Early Black Friday sale
As the holiday shopping season approaches, Sony’s impressive range of audio products is making headlines, particularly with significant discounts on some of its most popular items. Among the standout deals is the Sony WH-1000XM5, a premium pair of active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones that has become a favorite for travelers and audiophiles alike. Originally priced at $400, these headphones are now available for just $248, marking a substantial $152 discount. This makes them an attractive alternative to the newer WH-1000XM6 model, which, while boasting the latest features, comes at a higher price point.
The WH-1000XM5 headphones offer a host of features that contribute to their status as a top pick in the market. They provide an impressive 30 hours of battery life and support multipoint connections, allowing users to switch between devices seamlessly. Equipped with advanced V1 and QN1 processors and eight microphones, these headphones excel at filtering out ambient noise, ensuring an immersive listening experience. Their sound profile is tailored to emphasize bass and lower mids, while still maintaining clarity in the treble range. For those who prefer to customize their audio experience, the Sony Headphones app includes a multiband equalizer that allows users to tweak the sound to their liking. Weighing in at just 8.82 ounces, they are designed for comfort, making them ideal for extended wear during travel or daily commutes.
In addition to the WH-1000XM5, Sony is also offering discounts on a variety of other audio products, including the ULT FIELD 5 Bluetooth speaker, which is currently priced at $198 (down from $350). This speaker is designed for portability and durability, featuring an IP67 rating that makes it resistant to water and dust, perfect for outdoor gatherings. With a battery life of up to 25 hours and the ability to function as a power bank, it’s an excellent option for those looking to enjoy music on the go. Other notable deals include the Sony WF-1000XM5 true wireless earbuds and various soundbar options, all part of Sony’s commitment to providing high-quality audio solutions at competitive prices. As these deals coincide with Amazon’s Early Black Friday sales, now is an ideal time for consumers to invest in top-tier audio technology without breaking the bank.
We’re big fans of Sony active noise cancellation headphones, declaring the current-gen.
WH-1000XM6
a top pick for most people in our
best travel headphones roundup
. The only downside to new flagship headphones is new flagship headphones prices. And that’s when last year’s model enters the game.
The WH-1000XM5
is still a beast of an ANC set and an ace of bass. And thanks to Amazon’s Early Black Friday deals, it’s currently only $248—$152 off its normal price and $181 less than its successor.

The
Sony WH-1000XM5
offers multipoint connections, 30 hours of battery life, and comprehensive touch-capacitive awareness/call/music playback controls. Packed with V1 and QN1 custom processors and eight microphones, these headphones filter out low frequencies with its Auto NC Optimizer, while the uber-isolating oval earcups ensure more incidental noise is negated. Sonically, the WH-1000XM5 sticks with Sony’s consumer-minded tuning, emphasizing bass and lower mids. It’s more of a strut than a slap, however. Treble is also goosed just enough to keep all the details intact without coming in hot. If you want more or less of this V-shaped signature, the Sony Headphones app is one of the most comprehensive on the market, including a multiband EQ. Ultra-lightweight at 8.82 ounces, the 1000XM5 virtually disappears on your head, so you can go anywhere and stay comfortable the whole time. Accessories include a short USB-A to USB-C charging cable (you must supply your own AC adaptor), a 3.5mm headphone cable (which works with noise cancellation and without power), and a two-prong airplane adapter.

portable party speakers
, too. Sony’s
ULT FIELD 5
(above, right) is a
Bluetooth speaker
built to hit hard without looking like it’s trying. It’s the sonic sequel to the already excellent SRS-XG300 (to the left above), but with more edge and less bloat—physically and sonically. Dual tweeters and passive radiators give it real punch, especially if you’re streaming LDAC from an Android device, but it still plays nice with iPhone AAC. The shimmering SONY logo and ambient LEDs lean into the vibe. IP67 means it’s beach-proof, and it lasts up to 25 hours (plus acts as a power bank). It’s not true wide stereo, but ULT mode punches big, clean, and bassy. Think party muscle in a polished frame.
