Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Noise-Canceling Headphones — $248 (was $400)
See It
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. 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.
Sony WH-1000XM6 flagship noise-canceling wireless headphones — Only $399 (was $459)

If you’re looking for active noise cancellation to beat, Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are top-tier ANC headphones with a dedicated QN3 processor and 12-mic inside-out system to attack noise and keep transparency mode lifelike. A wider headband and reinforced hinges boost comfort and durability for long hauls. Tuning is lush but controlled: bass has more glide than thump, mids sit back slightly, and treble stays smooth for a wider soundstage and fatigue-free listening. USB-C convenience, 30H battery life, and a 10-band EQ in the app let you fine-tune everything every day, whether for work, travel, or just a few minutes of serenity.
