Sony and Apple have been battling it out at the top of the headphone market for quite a while now, with both the AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000Xm4 being excellent contenders for some of the best headphones out there. That was until Sony came out with the WH-1000XM5, which probably has the best noise canceling in the industry and audio fidelity equal to the AirPods Max. Of course, being at the top does mean it costs a pretty penny, so if you’re thinking of grabbing the XM5, then you’ll want to grab some good headphone deals, and while there aren’t a ton out there, the one below is pretty good.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are our top pick among the best headphones, taking the spot from its predecessor, the Sony WH-1000XM4. It all starts with the wireless headphones’ excellent sound and ultra-clear call quality, as they create more refined and more detailed audio despite using 25% smaller drivers than the previous model. They also feature Sony’s Precise Voice Pickup technology, so the person on the other end of the call will hear you clearly even when you’re in a noisy place. You have control over the Sony WH-1000XM5’s output through the Sony Headphones app, which offers access to full manual EQ settings while also providing several presets for different situations and independent bass boost adjustment.

One of the main features of the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are their active noise cancellation, which prevents you from getting disturbed by your surroundings. With an eight-microphone arrangement and dual-chip processing, you can maintain complete focus on whatever you’re listening to or watching. The wireless headphones also offer a transparency mode that lets external sound in without having to take them off your head. There’s even an optional voice enhancement mode, which will come in handy when you activate transparency mode for purposes such as to engage in a conversation, or to place a food or drink order.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 offer all-day comfort with their lightweight design and soft-fit leather, for a snug fit around your head with less pressure on the ears. This will allow you to maximize the wireless headphones’ battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge. If their battery runs low, charging for just 3 minutes will replenish 3 hours of usage. The wireless headphones also come with Bluetooth Multipoint technology, so you can pair them with up to two devices at the same time and easily switch between them.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are perfect for professionals and students alike, and they’re excellent for keeping yourself busy during long commutes and for maintaining your focus on complicated projects. With the Sony WH-1000XM5 deal above, they’re an even better purchase for practically anyone.

The best soundbar Bose makes is $100 off right now, and a must-buy
Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar in black.

While there are a lot of big audio brands out there, Bose is one of the biggest and most well-known and makes some of the best headphones on the market right now. Bose doesn't limit itself to just headphones, though, and it's also branched out to make some of the best soundbars on the market as well. Of course, Bose's soundbars do tend to be expensive, but luckily, there's a deal from Best Buy that discounts the original $900 down to $800.

Why you should buy the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar
While the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar doesn't come with a subwoofer or satellite speakers, it does a good job of recreating surround sound for the whole room with just six speakers in its little frame. It comes with both Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace, which help create a wider soundstage so that you can hear things with a bit more detail. In fact, it also has a fancy AI Dialogue mode, which helps adjust the audio to make the voice sound clearer, which is important given that most shows and films these days tend to lower the volume of the actors' voices.
