Electronics titan Sony has been one of our favorite players in the headphone game for many years now, offering multiple options with great design, sound performance, and noise-canceling functionality. We sniffed out cool discounts on the premium WH-1000XM3 and WH-XB900N, both of which are discounted for $50 off. These headphone deals are further sweetened with the chance to slash another $50 off when you are approved for an Amazon Rewards Visa.

Clear phone calls are also assured, thanks to the additional microphones that help isolate the sound while you talk on the phone.

Their frame consists of deep cup interiors and a padded headband that make up for comfortable wear even during long listening sessions. Their swiveling and folding feature as well as the included hard-shell carry case make them easy to store and portable enough to bring along with your commute and travels.

Battery life is also a strong suit of the WH-1000XM3. Sony claims they can deliver up to 30 hours of power, which is perfect for frequent long trips and flights. In addition to the epic battery life is a quick-charging feature which can deliver five hours of playback with active noise cancellation after just 10 minutes of charging. A supplied cable is available as well so you can still use them when battery runs out.

The best noise-canceling headphones you can buy are 18% off

There is a lot of competition at the top end of headphones and Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology, with the last few years mostly being dominated by Sony and Apple battling it out for the top spot. Well, Sony's latest release, the Sony WH-1000XM5, is possibly one of the best headphones on the market when it comes to audio quality and ANC. While that does mean that they can get quite expensive, you can actually get a pretty significant discount with this deal from Walmart that knocks it down to $328 from $400.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5
Where the Sony WH-1000XM5 truly stands out is in its ANC, which is by far the best on the market, even beating out the AirPods Max, which is impressive considering how good the ANC is on the Max. It's also good in almost any scenario, from the clinks and din of a coffee shop to the deep yet whining noise of an airplane engine, so it's great if you tend to spend a lot of time outside of the house. The only place where the Sony loses out to the AirPods Max is the transparency mode, which is only slightly better on the Max, although the automation for the ANC and transparency modes on the XM5 is still pretty excellent.
