There is already a bunch of early Black Friday deals to check out, but if
you're on the lookout for a great set of wireless headphones for yourself or
a loved one, here's one that's absolutely worth your attention. Sony's WH-
1000XM5 headphones have dropped to $298. That's a $102 discount.

This isn't quite the lowest price we've seen for the over-ear XM5s. They
dropped to $280 at one point earlier this year. However, the headphones
haven't gone back down to that point since, and this is still a great deal.

The XM5s are our pick for the best wireless headphones overall. We've long
been recommending Sony's 1000X line and this is the best iteration to date.
They earned a score of 95 in our review.

The redesigned headphones are much more comfortable to wear for extended
periods than previous models. Sony has improved the active noise cancellation
(ANC) feature as well, thanks to the addition of a new chip and four more
microphones. We feel that the company's current flagship headphones do a
better job of blocking out high frequencies and background noise (and even
human voices) than the XM4s.

The XM5s can switch between noise modes depending on your location or
activity, and they can pause audio automatically when you start speaking.
They deliver better call quality than rival models and, in general, you'll
get clear, crisp sound, including punchy bass. You won't need to charge the
XM5s too often either, as they have a 30-hour battery life.
