The best noise-canceling headphones you can buy are 18% off
The Sony WH-1000-XM5 on top of a book for study, next to a notebook and pen.

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.
