Just saying…

Sony WH-1000XM4:was $348 now$198 at AmazonThe Sony WH-1000XM4 have dropped to $30 lower than their lowest-seen price at Amazon. They may be slightly older cans but, as you probably know, the design’s become a modern classic – and with this discount, they’re very difficult to resist. In all honesty, there’s little difference between these and the newer XM5 sound-wise, so consider this purchase a huge bargain. You get excellent noise cancellation, DSEE Extreme audio upscaling, a wealth of essential features and (unlike the XM5) they fold up for easier transport.

Sony WH-CH520:was $79.99now$35.99 at AmazonWe know, (*gestures wildly with hands) thir-ty-five-doh-lars! This 55% saving is unreal – especially when you consider that these on-ears gained a glowing4.5-star reviewfrom this publication! The ‘cappuccino’ colorway offers the biggest discount, but the other options are also on sale for $38; still a massive saving. Sony’s DSEE support is a huge perk for the level and while they might not be crammed with additional, features, the WH-CH520 have got it where it counts.

Sony WF-C700N:was$119now $88 at AmazonThe WF-C700N tore up the rule book on what is achievable for this money to smithereens when they landed in April 2023. Are they still among the best noise-nixing earbuds around? Certainly, ourfive-star Sony WF-C700N reviewis irrefutable proof. As long as the lack of on-ear volume control or higher-res LDAC support doesn’t bug you (and at this level that would be a tad churlish) they’re an awesome buy – and this is a whole $10 cheaper than we’ve ever seen them.

Sony WH-1000XM5:was $399 now$298 at AmazonThe newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were class-leading, so it’s no surprise that Sony’s XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a huge $101 off! For clarity, it’s one whole dollar cheaper than they’ve ever been to date. They don’t fold up like the XM4, but they’re still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that block outside sound highly effectively – and at this price, they’re excellent value too.

Sony ULT Wear:was $199 now$159 at AmazonThese reassuringly big April 2024 over-ears arrived to bridge the gap between Sony’s flagship XM-suffixed over-ears and its budget, entry-level WH-CH propositions – and they do a rather good job at that, as ourSony ULT Wear reviewdetails. Also, their lowest-seen price before today was $178, or $21 off, so this $40 saving is the cheapest they’ve ever been at Amazon. Thanks, Prime Day!

Sony WH-CH720:was $149.99now$117.95 at AmazonThis 21% discount isn’t quite the cheapest we’ve seen these Sony over-ears, but it’s a matter of $10 – their previous lowest-seen price on Amazon before yesterday was $128. As we said in our four-starSony WH-CH720 review, these mid-range Sony cans pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony’s cheaper earbuds, they’re not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods, but they’re a comfortable, enjoyable listen, and the ANC does a good job of lowering outside noise.

Sony WH-1000XM4:was £350 now£149.99 at AmazonThe Sony WH-1000XM4 have droppedanother£30 lower than their lowest-ever price at Amazon pre Prime Day. They went to £189.99 on the first day of Prime and (look!) they’re even lower as the event progresses. They may be slightly older cans but come on, they’re iconic – and with this  discount, they’re hard to resist. In all honesty, there’s not much in it between these and the newer XM5, so consider this purchase a huge bargain. You get unparalleled noise cancellation, DSEE Extreme audio upscaling, a wealth of essential features and they fold up for easier transport.

Sony WH-1000XM5:was £379 now£259.99 at AmazonQuite simply the newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were outstanding, so it’ll come as little surprise to know that Sony’s XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping £160 off! They briefly (very briefly!) dropped to £239 in January, but we’re unsure that’ll happen over Prime Day, so if you can afford the extra £20, they’re still a top deal. They don’t fold up like the XM4, but they’re still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that block outside sound highly effectively.

Sony ULT Wear:was £179 now£129 at AmazonThese April 2024 issue over-ears were launched to bridge the monetary gap between Sony’s flagship XM-suffixed offering and its budget, entry-level WH-CH options – and they do a good job at that, as ourSony ULT Wear reviewdescribes. Oh, and their lowest-seen price before this was £149, so this is a tidy new £20 discount on top of that. Nice!

Sony WH-CH720:was £99.99now£70 at AmazonThey’ve been available for a £10 discount on and off, but this is the cheapest we’veeverseen them – their previous lowest-seen price on Amazon was £77.99 last November. As we said in our four-starSony WH-CH720 review, these chepaer Sony cans pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony’s cheaper earbuds, they’re not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods, but they’re a comfortable, enjoyable listen, and the ANC does a good job of lowering outside noise.

Sony WF-C700N:was£99now £69 at AmazonThe WF-C700N ripped our notions on what is achievable at this entry level to smithereens when they burst onto the scene in April 2023. Are they still some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds around? Certainly, just see ourfive-star Sony WF-C700N review. As long as the lack of higher-res LDAC support or and on-ear volume control doesn’t worry you (and at this level it really should not) they’re an excellent buy – and this is a whole £10 lower than we’ve ever seen them.

I’m well-versed on Sony headphones ranking among thebest noise-cancelling earbudsandbest noise-cancelling headphonesin the business because I’ve been testing audio kit full-time for a living since 2019. I’ve reviewed all of Sony’s biggest audio releases in that time – and my TechRadar colleagues have tested the rest.

Our buying guides and advice articles are peppered with Sony products, (quick summary: we rate theSony WH-1000XM4as top dog for over-ear value, and theSony WF-C700Nare an excellent budget pair of buds), so whether it’s the ultimate pair of ‘don’t talk to me’ Sony noise-nixers to the best bijou buds for smaller ears, there’s a Prime Day deal here for you.

Also, real talk: we’ll tell youhowgood the deal is, because we want you to make the most considered choice possible. And I’m proud of that.
