When Sony introduced the WH-1000XM5 headphones, it was updating an already proud lineage of over-the-ear, ANC headphones that offered some of the best noise canceling around. And it matched that ANC with brilliant sound quality and a convenient, portable design. The WH-1000XM5 effectively stepped that all to the next level to become some of the best headphones out there—but one of the big detractors of this pair of headphones has been its price, a hefty $399. This deal from Secondipity shifts the equation though, dropping the price to $229 for a refurbished unit.
Thrifty shoppers likely know that opting for refurbished products is a great way to score a good-as-new product at a significant discount. Secondipity may be a lesser-known retailer, but it offers a wide range of refurbished, open-box, and even new-condition products, and I’ve had a good experience shopping there. That experience is all the better when considering the hundreds I’ve saved on purchases.
With the Sony WH-1000XM5, you’ll get a comfortable pair of headphones that provide excellent sound quality. If your phone supports LDAC over Bluetooth, you can tap into an even higher fidelity experience. And with the powerful ANC of the headphones, you can readily reduce the sound of your surroundings to let you tune into what you’re listening to. When you do need to hear something outside your headphones, the WH-1000XM5 offer convenient and clear pass-through.
You can listen for the long-haul thanks to a 30-hour battery life, and if you run out of juice, the headphones support passive listening with a 3.5mm cable. With all that they can do, it’s no wonder that our compatriots over at PCMag gave these headphones their Editor’s Choice ranking in their review.
