With the holidays now less than 48 hours away, it’s now crunch time to think about any last remaining gifts that you might want to pick up, like these Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones that are now down to $248. These noise-cancelling headphones have never been this inexpensive before, and now is as good a time as any to see what all the fuss is about. These are normally $399.99 at full price, and they’re usually well over $300 on average, so this is a really good deal and an excellent gift idea if you have someone in your life who is looking for a great pair of wireless headphones. What makes this deal even better is that it now includes a pair of free true wireless earbuds from Sony.
The main reason to go for the headphones is their top-notch active noise cancellation. They block everything you could ever want to block out, making them perfect for commutes on public transit, as well as air travel, or really any other form of long-distance travel. They offer a lot more than just really good noise cancellation, though.
For instance, they have this really neat, quick attention mode feature that pauses your music, disables the ANC, and enables transparency mode so you can hear. You can activate it by placing your palm over the right ear cup, and this is perfect for when you need to talk to people briefly. Then you just remove your hand, and the music starts back up, and ANC turns back on.
These headphones sound quite good as well, and they have a battery life that lasts for up to 30 hours. It’s also possible to get up to 3 hours of playback with a quick 3-minute charge.
