On the heels of the new WH-1000XM6 model, Sony is discounting the previous WH-1000XM5 unit, which still delivers a ton of impressive audio features. Sony has become beloved by music lovers not only for providing high-quality speakers for streaming your party playlists, but its line of artist-approved headphones including an Olivia Rodrigo line featuring Bluetooth earbuds, and K-pop group LE SSERAFIM debuted a muted pink pair of over-ear options — and the model is on sale for nearly $50 off.
Normally, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are $400 but select colorways are on sale for less only $350. LE SSERAFIM isn’t the only fan of the over-ear headphones either, the device has been a popular purchase for Amazon shoppers since its release.
Some of the most notable features you’ll get to take advantage of are industry-leading active noise-canceling functionality, up to 30 hours of battery life when fully charged, and quick charging capabilities. Being plugged in for as little as three minutes will get you up to three hours of battery, allowing you to quickly get back to streaming your commuting playlist. You can also take advantage of almost completely hands-free capabilities including an intuitive touch control that’ll let you skip, pause, play and reverse music in addition to use your voice assistant and answer calls.
Compared to previous versions, Walmart reviewers are impressed with how the over-ear headphones are “lighter than the previous generation and not and as bulky.” Shoppers also can’t stop raving over how cozy they feel even noting that “the comfort is top notch, even while wearing glasses and earrings.”
