Deals: Some of you can save on Sony's best headphones!
Did you miss out on the Prime Day deals? Don’t worry; deals keep popping up from time to time, and here are a couple of great ones some of you may be able to take advantage of. The reason we say “some of you” is because these deals are exclusive to My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total subscribers, and we know not all of you pay for these expensive yearly subscriptions. If you do, though, you can get $70 off the Sony WH-1000XM5, or $100 off the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones.
These deals are available from Best Buy. They are exclusive to My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total members. These are paid yearly subscriptions. You can learn more about My Best Buy plans here. Additionally, the offers are part of Best Buy’s 48-hour flash sale, which ends this Saturday, August 3rd.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are widely recognized as some of the best headphones in the market. They come with great active noise canceling, excellent audio quality, an outstanding microphone, and great features like Bluetooth multipoint and Find My Device support. Our battery tests also showed the headphones can last over 31 hours on a single charge, with ANC on, or over 53 hours with ANC disabled.
While all that is great, not everyone needs the latest and greatest. In fact, we usually recommend saving more on the Sony WH-1000XM4, the previous-generation headset. These are still amazing headphones, and you can save $80 in this case. Sound and ANC quality is nearly as good. In fact, many of you might have a hard time distinguishing the difference. You still get Bluetooth multipoint and other great features. Battery life is nearly as good, too, yielding about 30 hours with ANC on. We’d honestly say this is the better deal, both because it is normally cheaper, and because the discount this time around is also more significant.
Again, this 48-hour flash sale from Best Buy ends tomorrow, so make sure to make up your mind sooner rather than later. Both of these headphones are a treat, so go get them!
