Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones hit $198 in Labor Day discount
Sony’s previous-generation WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones are on sale for $198 at Amazon and Best Buy during the Labor Day promotion.
During the week-long Labor Day tech sale, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are priced at $198 on both Amazon and Best Buy, a steep cut from the original $399.99 and lower than the usual $250 retail price. This mirrors the Prime Day 2026 discount but is available without a Prime subscription. The XM5, introduced in 2022, still delivers high-quality sound and active noise cancellation, competing well against the 2025 XM6, which offers slight improvements and a foldable design.
Despite the XM6’s enhancements, reviewers consider the XM5 a compelling bargain. Sony may soon re-release the older XM4 at a reduced price, though it is unlikely to undercut the current XM5 deal.
Why it matters
Consumers can secure premium noise-cancelling headphones at a deep discount during the Labor Day sales period.
