The savings almost match Best Buy, which has all three colorways of the headphones on sale for $329.99. While we first saw the Amazon discount last year on Black Friday and a small number of times afterward, headphones have certainly never been cheaper.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 scores so well in reviews because it does the things you love about headphones extremely well. The sound is fantastic, with a strong bass response, and the mids and highs are clear and well defined. They support the LDAC codec for high-quality wireless audio, and you can further customize the sound with the Sony Headphones Connect app, which offers a custom equalizer and 360 Reality Audio.

The other thing the headphones are known for is their excellent active noise cancellation, which reduces ambient noise very effectively. If you want to disappear into your music on the go or just block out the office noise, they're a top choice. You also get Bluetooth multipoint and Find My Device functionality, great comfort thanks to the deep and wide ear cushions and capacitive touch controls. A solid battery life of around 31 hours with ANC on completes the package.
