Get Sony's flagship WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones with £100 off in this tempting deal

When it comes to the best noise-cancelling headphones, there are plenty of products worthy of a Hall of Fame induction. And Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are among the very best.

Delivering everything from superior sound quality and a comfortable design to incredible noise cancellation and long-lasting battery life, the XM5s check all the boxes for most users. And right now you can get them for £279 from Amazon – a whopping £100 cheaper than their introductory price of £379.

Both Amazon and Sony UK have slashed the price of these award-winning cans from their original £379 price tag to a wallet-friendly £279. Granted, the XM5s were cheaper on Amazon during the recent Prime Day sales event (they were £260), but their current price is still noteworthy. If you’ve been keeping an eye on them, now might be the time to snap them up.

The discount applies to all available colours including black, midnight blue and silver, so you can choose your favourite colour without compromising on price.

The XM5s are one of those products that do their job extremely well, without any fuss, adjustments or hassle. They look good, with a comfortable build, and it’s hard to argue against their mix of superior sound, excellent noise cancellation, and abundance of app-controlled features and customization options.

We were so impressed with the overall package that we gave it five stars. We particularly liked the improvement in sound quality over the previous version, the WH-1000XM4.

These improvements are thanks in part to Sony’s newer Integrated Processor V1, which works in tandem with Sony’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 to deliver the company’s most effective noise cancellation yet. In practice, this means you’ll be able to enjoy your music in blissful isolation, whether you’re battling the rumble of public transport or the chatter of a busy office.

The sound quality is, unsurprisingly, top-notch. The 30mm drivers pump out audio with impressive clarity, with punchy bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs. It’s a sound signature that works wonderfully across a wide range of genres, from classical to hip-hop.

But the XM5s aren’t just about pure audio performance. They’re also packed with smart features that make them a joy to use day-to-day. Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts audio settings based on your environment and activity, while Speak-to-Chat pauses your music when you start a call – handy for those quick chats by the coffee machine.

Battery life is equally impressive, with up to 30 hours of playtime on a single charge. And if you’re in a hurry, a quick 10-minute charge will give you a generous five hours of listening time.

Should you buy the Sony WH-1000XM5?

At their original price, the XM5s were already an attractive package. While this current discount seems to take them just short of their lowest price ever of £279, the Sonys are still a great option for anyone on the fence about upgrading their ‘phones. Whether you’re a discerning, wireless headphone-wearing audiophile or just someone who appreciates great sound in a well-rounded package, the XM5s will impress.
