When it’s time to block out the world and immerse yourself in your favorite game, album, or podcast, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 earbuds can transport you to a whole new world.  It’s no wonder these well-rounded, high-quality TikTok-approved earbuds hardly ever go on sale.

Thankfully, Prime Big Deal Days is here (taking place on October 8 and 9), and the sales on our favorite tech do not disappoint. When you add the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless earbuds to your cart for Prime Day, you’ll score a savings of $70 (marking them down to just $228!).

Score Superb Sound Quality at a Big Price Cut

During our testing, we found the sound balanced, rich, and dynamic while still being accurate. Punchy, crisp bass tones don’t drown out the midrange guitar riffs and vocals.  You can also connect to multiple devices at once, so you can simultaneously control your music streaming from your phone or computer.

Simon Cohen, Digital Trends’ resident Audio/Video expert, declared Sony’s earbuds “small, smooth, and elegant” in his review. Cohen says, “It’s evident from the time I’ve spent with the WF-1000XM5 that Sony has developed a fantastic set of wireless earbuds. When it comes to sound quality and noise cancellation, I can safely say you won’t find better, even if you spend more. Their call quality is among the best and they’re absolutely loaded with the latest features.”

Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of earbuds because your current pair is uncomfortable or has crummy battery life, or you want to treat yourself to a new pair for an upcoming flight, this pair is the best of the best. We’ve tested pairs from Apple, Beats, Bose, and other top brands, but none can keep up with the XM5’s sound, call quality, comfort, and battery life.

It's time to finally upgrade from your basic headphones to a premium pair like the Sony WH-1000XM5, which are on sale from Target at 18% off. From their regular price of $400, they're down to a more affordable $330, but we're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss this chance at $70 in savings. This is one of the most attractive headphone deals that we've recently seen, so you're going to want to complete your transaction quickly, before other shoppers pick up all the stocks.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones
With a perfect 5-star rating in our review, we described the Sony WH-1000XM5 as "the best headphones, period" in our roundup of the best headphones. We didn't think the Sony WH-1000XM4 can get any better, but we were proven wrong, as our Sony WH-1000XM5 versus Sony WH-1000XM4 comparison reveals that the latest model in the popular line of wireless headphones features a lighter weight and new synthetic leather for extra comfort, better call quality, and noticeably superior noise-canceling performance with two processors and eight microphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5 also offer the Auto NC Optimizer, which improves noise cancellation depending on your wearing conditions and the environment.
