Sony WH-1000XM5
$298 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $101.99

Why we like it

The Sony WH-1000XM5s aren't the newest noise-cancelling headphones, but at the sale price of $250, they're one of the best value headphones you can pick up during Prime Big Deal Days. The Mashable Choice Award winners rarely drop down in price below $298 — this $250 price tag is just one cent away from the record low price we saw them hit this past March. With great ANC, an excellent sound profile, and a sleek design, these headphones offer a premium experience at a fraction of the price of other options on sale — and they're not all that different from the newer XM6 headphones, which are on sale for $428.

Why we like it

While these aren't the newest earbuds on the market (they came out in 2021), at $35, they do offer some of the best bang for your buck on noise-cancelling earbuds. If you can put up with a middling battery life and overly sensitive touch panels, the Echo Buds with ANC are "a steal for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the world of ANC without setting their wallet on fire," as Mashable's Alex Perry wrote in his review. This deal is exclusive to Prime members.
