They&#8217;re currently the best over-ear headphones on the market in terms of audio quality \u2014 but not everyone can afford (or need) to drop nearly half a grand on headphones (although they&#8217;re currently at their lowest price ever with an additional $30 gift card).<\/p>\n<p>The WH-1000XM5 are a generation older, and were at the top of their range until replaced by the XM6. On the plus side, due to their longevity, they are currently discounted for $248 (down from the original $399.99). According to the price-tracking tool, that&#8217;s $5 off the lowest price ever, making it a good deal for cans that still look incredible in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>I have been a loyal customer of the 1000X line for many years; They are my favorite headphones for most activities.

The headphones are also well designed to be comfortable for long listening sessions.
