One of the things I love most in the world is listening to music. I do it while working, walking, working out, reading, cooking… When you want to drown out the world, you do it with something like the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, and they’re currently on sale for $248 at Amazon (down from their original $400 price).

These headphones are widely considered among the best in their class. Our friends at TechAdvisor reviewed them and gave ’em a clean 5-star rating, impressed by their build quality, noise cancellation, and refined sound. It earned their Editors’ Choice award.

Like all Sony headphones, these were built for dedicated music lovers and workers who want to shut out the world around them. The WH-1000XM5 uses two processors and eight microphones to help achieve perfect noise cancellation, blocking out disturbances. When taking calls, these headphones feature four integrated beamforming microphones, so you’ll be heard perfectly.

A single charge will give you about 30 hours of continuous playback, while a quick three-minute charge before leaving for work will give you an additional three hours of listening time.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 is a clear winner, doubly so for $248 now at Amazon. For comfortable noise cancellation, it doesn’t get better.
