We are now tracking one of the best prices of the year on the wonderful Sony XM5 noise canceling wireless earbuds. Amazon is now offering all three colors down at $198 shipped, down from the regular $300 (more typically $298 at Amazon). This deal lands at $28 under the official Black Friday and fall Prime Day price this year to deliver the best price we have tracked in months on one of the best sets of earbuds you’ll find out there as well as one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked all-time. 

There have been some deals on refurbished sets for less, and a couple limited-time offers at Amazon this year matching the deal we have here today, but either way you’re looking at a particularly notable price on a wonderful set of buds that are still shipping in time for Christmas (at the time of writing). 

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone that wouldn’t rank these buds among the best out there right now. While some prefer the more affordable Bose buds, or even AirPods Pro 2 (currently $10 less than the Sony XM5 set here), Sony has made a name for itself in the over-ear and buds active noise cancellation game for a reason.

They land powered by the latest V2 processor to run the ANC action as well as Sony’s “best ever call quality with AI based noise reduction algorithm and bone conduction sensor.”

The speak-to-chat feature that automatically pauses playback when you start talking joins a water-resistant housing, and 8 hours of battery life on the buds alone (it jumps to 24 hours with the included charging case factored in alongside a 3-minute quick charge adds another hour of playback). 

Sony WF-1000XM5 Noise Canceling Earbuds features:

  • The best truly wireless noise canceling headphones on the market.
  • Astonishing sound quality with High-Resolution Audio.
  • Sony’s best ever call quality with AI based noise reduction algorithm and bone conduction sensor.
  • Small, light and beautifully designed.
  • Smooth switching and a clear Bluetooth signal with a powerful new Integrated Processor V2.
  • Adjusts to the world around you with adaptive sound control, using AI to offer the ideal listening experience.
