Prime Day officially ended but the Sony WH-1000XM5 apparently didn’t receive that information. Amazon still has them at $198, half their $399 standard price and the lowest these headphones have ever been sold for, the day after Prime Day closed. Two processors, eight microphones, Auto NC Optimizer, 30-hour battery, multipoint connection, and a carrying case included. No Prime membership required, and whoever forgot to end this deal at Amazon deserves a thank-you note.

Two processors and eight microphones for noise cancellation that actually works
The WH-1000XM5 runs two processors controlling eight microphones simultaneously for the noise cancellation that put Sony at the top of the ANC headphone category. The Integrated Processor V1 handles audio processing while the second processor manages real-time noise cancellation adaptation, and Auto NC Optimizer automatically adjusts the noise canceling profile based on the wearing conditions and environment it detects: airplane cabin pressure, outdoor wind, office air conditioning, and city street noise each receive a different noise cancellation response rather than a fixed profile applied uniformly regardless of what’s actually happening around the listener.
