If you’re thinking about taking advantage of headphone deals, there’s no option that we’ll recommend more than the Sony WH-1000XM5, especially now that you can get them with a $75 discount from Walmart. Instead of $400, you’ll only have to shell out $325 for these amazing noise-canceling headphones, but only if you hurry. We don’t expect these best-selling headphones to stay cheaper than usual for long, so you should hurry with your purchase if you want to enjoy the savings.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are on top of our lists of the best headphones and the best noise-canceling headphones, which should show how highly we think of them. They provide excellent sound quality, whether you’re listening to your playlists, watching streaming shows, or making calls. You’ll also get top-of-the-line active noise cancellation that uses two processors and eight microphones to block external sound, eliminating distractions so you can focus on your tasks at hand. If you need to talk to someone while ANC is activated, the Speak-to-Chat mode will automatically stop your music and allow ambient sound in, so you won’t have to remove the Sony WH-1000XM5.

With a battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge, and a quick-charging feature that replenishes 3 hours of usage after just 3 minutes of being plugged in, the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones can easily last the whole day. You won’t even mind wearing them that long because they’re very comfortable. For your convenience, the wireless headphones offer touch control settings for functions such as playing and pausing music, adjusting volume, answering phone calls, and bringing up your preferred digital assistant.

If you can afford them, there’s no reason to refuse buying the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones now that they’re available for just $325 from Walmart. We’re not sure how long the savings of $75 on their sticker price of $400 will last, but we think stocks will run out quickly because of the popularity of these noise-canceling headphones. If you’re already looking forward to listening to your favorite music on the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones, you shouldn’t hesitate in completing the transaction, or else you may regret it.

Beats Studio3 Headphones are still just $89 for Walmart’s Cyber Monday sale
Beats Studio 3 Wireless

In the continuing Cyber Monday deals, there’s a great offer for anyone seeking new headphones. Right now, you can buy the Beats Studio3 Headphones for just $89 at Walmart, allowing you to save $70 from its regular $159 price. If you need some reliable headphones that also look good, this is your chance to do so for less, thanks to its limited-time 44% off Cyber Monday discount. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer. There are other Cyber Monday Beats headphone deals around, but none quite as cheap as these. It’s a similar story for Cyber Monday Bose headphone deals if you're looking to spend a little more on your cans.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio3 Headphones
Our Beats Studio3 Headphones review explains all. Notably, we found them to be expensive so you can ignore that issue now they’re on sale. While the bass is a little underwhelming for Beats, they’re otherwise very comfortable, offer easy pairing with Apple products, and have a great design. Since its launch in 2020, the Beats Studio3 has gradually decreased in price, making their limited-time discount for Cyber Monday even more appealing.

We actually reviewed these cans a few years ago, and our AV expert had this to say: “Same price, even better features. Sony's WH-1000XM4 are what perfect looks like.”

Should you buy the WH-1000XM5 or WF-1000XM5 deal for Black Friday?

Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony's quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.

As a self-described "audiophobe" (I crave silence the way others crave deep bass beats), I've been tempted by Sony's WF-1000XM5 after experiencing the peace and quiet of the WH-1000XM5 headphones. And at their current price of $230, which is $70 down from the usual $300, they were an easy pickup for me. But, with the WH-1000XM5 — the headphones that consistently sit at the top or our best headphones list — down to $300 from a usual price of $400, are the WF-1000XM5 really the best deal for you to pick up at the moment? As someone who owns them both, I'm going to give you the case for picking out each pair.
