Amazon Drops Sony WH-1000XM5 to $243 in Final Hours of Big Spring Sale

The steep cut positions the well-reviewed XM5 as a better buy than Sony’s pricier XM6.

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.
