Why you should buy Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless earbuds

The Sony WF-1000XM5 are on top of our list of the best wireless earbuds after receiving a score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, where we described them as “Sony’s best buds.” One of the biggest changes from their predecessor, the Sony WF-1000XM4, is that they’re 25% smaller, but they don’t sacrifice anything for that. The wireless earbuds deliver some of the world’s best active noise cancellation, and they come with new accelerometers that enable head movement gestures such as nodding to accept an incoming call or shaking your head to decline. The Sony WF-1000XM5 also feature an IPX4 rating for water resistance, battery life of up to 8 hours on a single charge and up to a total of 24 hours with their charging case, and Bluetooth Multipoint connectivity to be able to pair with two devices at once.

If you’re undecided between the Sony WF-1000XM5 vs Apple AirPods Pro 2, take a look at our comparison of the flagship wireless earbuds. We recommend that you choose the Sony WF-1000XM5 if you prioritize audio quality and noise cancellation, and they will cost you less than the Apple AirPods Pro 2 right now with this discount from Best Buy.

The Sony WF-1000XM5 already pack amazing value at their sticker price of $330, so they’re a steal at their lowered price of only $215 from Best Buy. You need to hurry if you want to pocket the savings of $115 though, as the discount may disappear at any moment. Proceed with your transaction as soon as possible if you want to make sure that you get the Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless earbuds for a more affordable price than usual. If you want to check out headphone deals as well, we’ve also rounded up some excellent bargains.

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown isn't over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address.
