SAVE $117:As of Feb. 24,USA Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless noise-canceling headphones are on sale for $282.90 at Walmart, down from their usual $399.99. That’s a $117 discount on some of the best noise-canceling headphones on the market.
I’ve tested a lot of noise-canceling headphones, and I always come back to Sony’s WH-1000X series. The WH-1000XM5 takes everything great about its predecessors and refines it with industry-leading noise cancellation, plush comfort, and ridiculously good battery life. If you fly often or want to zone out in a crowded coffee shop, these headphones do the job better than anything else I’ve used.
Sony’s active noise cancellation blocks out everything from engine hum to chatty coworkers. The multipoint connection is also a lifesavSonter, letting you switch between your phone and laptop without the usual Bluetooth headache. The 30-hour battery life is another huge win, with a three-minute charge putting out three hours of playback. Pretty convenient when you forget to juice them up before a flight.

The lightweight design and soft-fit leather earcups make them easy to wear for hours, which is key when you’re trapped in an airport for half the day. Sony’s Adaptive Sound Control also automatically adjusts the noise cancellation based on your environment, so you don’t have to keep fiddling with settings.
These headphones usually sit at a premium price point, so seeing them drop $117 to $282.90 at Walmart is a solid deal. If you’ve been holding out on upgrading your old headphones, now’s a great time to pull the trigger. Just don’t be surprised when you can’t go back to using anything else.
