If you’re looking for a new pair of headphones Amazon’s just dropped a Sony WH-1000XM5 deal
If you’re looking to spoil yourself or a loved one, this Sony headphone deal is too good to pass up. The WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones, the best Sony has to offer, have just been reduced to £220 on Amazon, down from their original RRP of £379.
These headphones have become incredibly popular due to rave reviews from customers and critics alike. They’ve bagged multiple awards for their superb sound quality and noise-cancellation feature, perfect for blocking out distractions during your commute.
At first glance shoppers may spot the £245 price, but an extra 10% is knocked off at checkout if you click ‘apply voucher’ at Amazon. According to CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest price they’ve ever been, and we don’t anticipate they’ll stay this cheap for long.

Other retailers like Argos (£249) and Currys (£245) are selling them at a higher price point, even without the additional 10% discount. The WH-1000XM5 boasts 30 hours of battery life, industry-leading noise cancellation, and comes with a handy carrying case for easy portability.
Amazon also offers the headphones in three colours: black, white, and blue, so you can choose the perfect match, reports MyLondon. And with sturdy active noise cancelling these would be a good fit for frequent travellers or gym fans.
Reviewers have been singing the praises of the sound quality and noise-cancelling capabilities of the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. One impressed reviewer shared: “Having tried a lot of headphones over the years, I can say the Sony WH-1000XM5 delivers one of the best audio experiences available, which is why they still deserve five stars from me.”
They added, “They’re not without their downsides: they’re comfortable but not the most comfortable (the XM4s might have the edge there), and the noise cancelling, while good, isn’t the absolute best if you’re after total world-blocking. But the audio quality is exceptional, the battery life is fantastic, and while some have had issues with durability, I’ve found mine to be reliably sturdy. If you want high-end sound quality and a solid overall performance, the XM5s are a great choice, even with a few minor flaws.”
On the flip side, a less satisfied customer remarked: “For the price paid the build truly leaves much to be desired. The audio is no doubt top level, and playing with the equaliser tuned it to a very nice, crisp sound for me. Mute to talk works well, gestures work okay. You have to keep swiping up for volume up on the earcup.”
“They felt robust enough, but weren’t particularly comfortable for a larger head. It does feel like a single drop could end up breaking one of the sliders, so would treat with utmost care. Noise cancelling with music playing is good. However, if you’re looking for true noise cancelling to cancel out ambient sound completely, it doesn’t do it. I decided to return and upgrade my AirPods Pros instead. I would have kept these if they wowed me more, couldn’t justify the price point.”
For those who are budget-conscious and prefer something a bit more compact, Sony WF-C700N are available at Argos for £89.99, boasting noise-cancelling capabilities to drown out any annoying background noise. Also on offer are the Soundcore Space One noise cancelling headphones on Amazon for £54.99.
