Tech Advisor doesn’t dish out five-star ratings often, but Sony headphones and earbuds are some of the few products to receive this accolade.
If you want to get your hands on the best audio products you can buy, now is the time. Several headphones are down to their lowest prices ever, though the discounts will only last until the end of the day and are exclusive to Amazon Prime members.
The biggest discount is on the Sony WH-1000XM4 over-the-ear noise-cancelling headphones, which have over 40% off. The discount is the most impressive in the UK, down from £350 to just £179.99. US readers meanwhile can get the headphones for just $198, down from an RRP of $348.
These headphones feature class-leading noise cancellation, a comfortable build and incredible audio that suits any genre of music. They’re also available in a choice of three colours.
If you want something newer, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are discounted to just £259.99/$298, which is just over £100/$100 off the standard price. These have upgraded audio, ANC and call quality – though if you plan on travelling, these cans don’t fold like the XM4s do.
Of course, the best audio product for on-the-go use is earbuds, thanks to their pocket-sized build. Thankfully, Sony has you covered in this area, too. The Sony WF-1000XM5 earphones are just £189/$228 when they usually cost £259.99/$299.99.
Our reviewer dubbed these as ‘best-sounding earbuds ever’, with incredible noise cancelling, smart features and Hi-res support. In the UK, the silver variant costs £10 less than the Black at the time of writing.
You probably won’t see discounts this generous until Black Friday in November, so if you’re planning on buying headphones for a good price, this is your chance.
