Amazon’s two-day Prime Day sales event is coming to an end tonight, but there’s still time to make one of the best savings on the exceptional Sony wireless headphones.
As ever with Prime Day, sometimes the best deals are on the older devices. That’s why while the Sony WH-1000XM5 might have dropped to just $298 at Amazon – their lowest price ever – it’s their predecessors that are better value for money and have the bigger saving.
The Sony WH-1000XM4 have also hit their lowest price ever – just $198 at Amazon. That’s a discount of $152 on their launch price, and a full $100 cheaper than their successors. Snap them up while they’re still available, as stocks won’t last long.
Best ever Sony WH-1000XM5 and XM4 deals
The five-star WH-1000XM4 were, until the recent launch of the WH-1000XM5, Sony’s top-of-the-range wireless noise-cancelling headphones. With a winning combination of stunning sound, 30-hour battery life, intuitive controls and adjustable noise-cancelling, the XM4 are hard to beat, especially when they’re so heavily discounted.
The XM4 are every bit as comfortable as their predecessor, the WH-1000XM3, but introduce new useful features that elevate the user experience such as ‘Speak to Chat’, which allows you to talk to someone while the headphones are still on your head.
More importantly, the headphones dish up an impressive hike in sound quality over the XM3. Their sense of musicality and enthusiasm remains as addictive as ever, but there are also big improvements across the board.
The XM5 are a big step on. Their new ‘noiseless’ design minimises interference from wind while also doing away with exposed hinges, while new features add to the experience. The sound quality is also significantly better – a little more analytical, and maybe a touch less fun, but the extra detail and insight are more than worth the tradeoff, especially at this, their lowest price ever at Amazon.
If you want that best-in-class Sony performance and features but also the best deal overall, the XM4 is the bigger saving overall – but hurry, this Prime Day deal ends tonight.
