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. The WH-1000XM5 are a generation old and were at the top of their class when they were initially released. Since that model is a few years old, they&#8217;re currently discounted to $248 (originally $399.99), according to the price-tracking tool \u2014 the second lowest price we&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>I have been a loyal customer of the 1000X line for many years; They are my favorite headphones for most activities.
