For anyone that’s only ever used a cheap or free pair of earbuds for all your private listening, do know that there is a world of audio you are missing out. They work in a pinch, and even some higher-end earbuds can produce some impressive sound with surprisingly powerful bass, they still don’t hold a candle to the sound you get with a quality over-ear set of headphones. One of the best choices out there for serious listeners is the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling wireless headphones. Normally, these sell for $359, but they’re now seeing a wee bit of a discount that makes them slightly more attractive. The 38%-off limited-time deal sees the audio accessory dropping to just $248, saving you a good $111 for a brief period.

I kind of love whoever on Sony’s marketing team chose this name. When you look at the other tech brands in this space, they give their flagship headphones a flashy name. Apple has the “AirPods,” Samsung has the “Galaxy Buds.” But Sony? They’ve got the “WH-1000XM5 headphones.” For real, this feels more like a SKU number that only folks working the warehouse inventory need to know about, but they instead made it the customer facing name. It doesn’t need a flashy name—the hardware speaks for itself.
