Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are down to $249.99 at Amazon, and frankly, I think that’s a price worth pausing your Spotify playlist for. These usually hang out at $399.99, so we’re looking at a generous 38% discount. Sony is basically handing you a $150 sound upgrade with a smirk.

I’ve tried plenty of headphones, but the XM5s still manage to impress. The noise canceling is so good it’s like your problems know not to bother you while you’re wearing them. They use two processors and eight microphones to banish the outside world, which I fully support. You could be sitting next to someone slurping ramen and you’d still only hear pure acoustic bliss.

Battery life? Thirty hours. That’s over a full day of wear time for flights, meetings, doomscrolling, and pretending you’re in a music video while doing your laundry. If you somehow forget to charge them, a quick three-minute plug-in gives you another three hours.

The fit is light and super comfortable too thanks to the plush ear cups and headband. The soft leather cups don’t pinch or sweat, and they look sleek enough that people assume you’re either important or know things about audio.

If you’re an Alexa person, these come with built-in voice control. Ask it to play your favorite track, set a timer, or launch your villain arc. It’s all fair game.

The point is, I’ve seen a lot of headphone deals and this one actually feels like a steal, not a “meh, maybe.” If you’ve had your eye on these, this is your sign.
