Solid Prime Day headphone and earbud deals come around almost like clockwork every year, and 2025 is no different. For the July shopping event, you can grab the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for as low as $248, or $152 off their usual price. The black option is down this low, while the other colorways are on sale for $298 each. Thankfully, all colorways are on sale and in stock at the moment for the last day of the sale.
These headphones once topped our list of the best wireless headphones before being usurped by the XM6. They are still fantastic, despite being slightly outshined by the newer kid on the block. We praised the "supreme comfort" and "great sound" in our official review, along with the powerful ANC technology.
The battery life is also incredible here. Users can expect around 30 hours per charge, which will more than handle a long train ride or flight. It's also lighter than the XM4, which adds to the overall comfort. There are touch controls on the outside panel of the right ear cup, with the ability to play, pause, skip tracks and adjust the volume.
These cans also work with various voice assistants and there's an affiliated app that allows for even more customization. The headphones offer multipoint connectivity and there are a handful of integrated microphones for phone calls. The only downside here remains the price, which has been somewhat alleviated by this sale.
If your budget is tighter, Sony still sells the WH-1000XM4 headphones and they're on sale for $193 thanks to Prime Day. Since the XM6 cans are the latest and greatest, this model is getting a bit old at this point — but it could be a good option for those looking to spend less than $200 on a good set of ANC headphones.
