Why you should buy the Sony WF-1000XM5 

We tested these buds a couple of years ago, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “Smaller, sleeker, and with awesome sound, the XM5 are Sony’s best buds.”

If you’re the kind of person who demands accuracy from your in-ear audio products, the warm, bass-friendly sound profile of the XM5 buds should make you very happy. Everything from rock and rap to less traditional genres like classical and jazz sound fantastic through these earbuds, and the Sony Sound Connect app gives you several audio customizations for dialing in the perfect sound based on your listening preferences. 

As Sony’s flagship earbuds, the WF-1000XM5 also deliver a noise-canceling experience that’s tough to beat. Bid farewell to annoying engine noises and HVAC hum. Other noteworthy features include up to eight hours of battery life on a full charge (with ANC enabled), Bluetooth Multipoint, and memory foam ear tips for some of the best in-ear comfort you’ve ever experienced. 

Save $50 when you purchase the Sony WF-1000XM5 Wireless Earbuds today. We also recommend taking a look at our collections of the best headphone deals, best Sony TV deals, and best Amazon deals for even more discounts on top audio products!

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
