If you’ve been looking for the perfect pair of in-ears to silence the outside world, there’s never been a better time to pick up Sony’s fantastic WF-1000XM5. You’ll need to hurry though, as these Prime Day offers end at midnight tonight!
In the US, they normally cost $300, but are on sale for $228 during Prime Day. Those are £59 and $72 saving respectively. In the UK, they usually retail for £259, but are currently available for £200.

These true wireless earbuds are some of my favourite noise cancellers at any price, and this is the first time they’ve dipped below £200 in the UK. Expect Sony’s signature sound quality, some convincing spatial audio upmixing (if you like that sort of thing) and very respectable battery life.
I gave the WF-1000XM5 a full five stars in my review, saying “sound quality is a further step up from the already excellent XM4s, and the improved fit is fantastic”.
These are still as good as the firm’s noise-cancelling in-ears get, with Hi-Res Wireless support, IPX4 water resistance and up to 16 hours of playback using the charging case (which also supports wireless top-ups).
Perhaps you prefer over-ear headphones instead? No problem: Sony also has you covered this Prime Day, with the equally stunning WH-1000XM5 headphones also discounted. UK shoppers can expect to pay £260, a 31% saving from the full £379 retail price. In the US, a 25% reduction sees the price drop from $400 to $298.
New 30mm carbon fibre composite drivers deliver even greater clarity than Sony’s previous effort, which was already beautifully balanced. Noise cancelling has taken a step up, and auto-detect your environment to stay effective when moving between loud and quiet locations. For frequent flyers, I’d consider them a must-buy.
