Overview
- Sony’s WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones are selling for $243 in a Lightning Deal during Tuesday’s closing stretch of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
- This price reflects about 39% off the $399.99 list price, a savings of roughly $157.
- Mashable, citing price tracker camelcamelcamel, calls the $243 tag a new all-time low, though The Verge notes Adorama briefly hit $204.56 in February.
- The XM5 remains a top pick with strong noise canceling, clear sound, long-wear comfort, and about 30 hours of battery life.
- Lightning Deals run for a short window and limited quantities, so the discount can disappear quickly once the promotion ends or stock sells through.
