The Amazon Spring Sale event brought one of the best Bluetooth headphones at its lowest price ever. But the Sony WH-1000XM5 were $157 off for just about 24 hours, so some users might not have had the chance to save big.

Fortunately, Amazon has just launched another promo on these high-end cans. And sure, the discount is slightly less exciting right now — $150, to be exact — it's still one of the best deals I've ever seen.

$150 off (38%)

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are once again on sale. Right now, you can grab select color variants for $150 off at Amazon, which is one of the highest discounts I've ever come across. Grab yours before it's too late.

Featuring a premium, lightweight build and an auto-pause functionality, the XM5 are exceptionally comfortable to wear. Whether you're after a listening companion for commutes or travel, these cans won't let you down.

Speaking of commutes, these puppies deliver top-tier ANC performance. Once enabled, it silences annoying noises like traffic or office talk.

That said, the newer Sony WH-1000XM6 handle noise cancellation even better. If you're after the best possible experience on that front, you might want to consider extending your budget.

Sound quality is just as fantastic. Out of the box, the XM5 provide a balanced audio with a clean bass, which doesn't take over the rest of the mix. If you're after a stronger low-end, the companion app delivers some sound customizations.

Since these are proper high-end headphones, they also feature Bluetooth Multipoint and 360 Reality Audio, as well as Speak-to-Chat support. However you look at it, the XM5 remain among the best headsets money can buy.

Down by 38% in select color options, these cans are the perfect AirPods Max 2 alternative. Grab yours with this Amazon promo before it vanishes.
