I have both the WH-1000XM5 and the WF-1000XM5 for ANC bliss. Which should you buy on Black Friday? The two (and their deals) go head to head.
Black Friday This story is part of the Digital Trends Black Friday coverage 2024 Updated less than 3 minutes ago Table of Contents Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony’s quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.
Why you should buy the WH-1000XM5 The WH-1000XM5 are a mainstay in the headphones world. For someone like me who wants to have peace and quiet on a regular basis, they’re pretty much effortless. I just slide them over my ears, tap a button, and all is peaceful again. From the crowded Best Buy where I first tried them on I was able to tune out the vast majority of the store’s chatter within seconds.
The one thing they don’t do well, however, is active work. Sweating, drizzles outdoors, and wet hands from doing dishes are all no-nos around your WH-1000XM5s, but its still all good so long as you know their limitations. At their current price of just $300 I would be a bit envious of anyone just buying these now, as I paid closer to $350 during a Prime Day sale last year.
However, when all is said and done and you do get the right fit, the noise cancelation is quite good and, of course, the sound is right. On my second day of owning them, I wore my WF-1000XM5s while building the wooden shelf you can see them displayed on in the image above while playing very light music. It wasn’t until after I was done that I noticed there was some fairly loud YouTube watching going on in the next room.
