If you're on the hunt for premium audio quality without breaking the bank, AliExpress currently has an irresistible offer on the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless noise-canceling headphones. Priced at just $221.10 after applying the coupon code **USAFF30** at checkout, this deal is a steal for what many consider the best noise-canceling headphones under $400. These headphones are stocked in a US warehouse, ensuring free shipping and delivery within about a week. While these are genuine Sony products, they are likely import models, which means the warranty won't be honored in the United States. However, AliExpress compensates with a 15-day free return policy and guarantees a refund if your order doesn't arrive within 20 days.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for $221

0$399.99 save 45%$221.10 at AliExpressUse code 'USAFF30'In our glowing Sony WH1000XM5 review, Kevin Lee wrote that "The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around. They demand a high premium but the cost of audio excellence is well worth it with this pair of headphones."

The Sony WH-1000XM5 builds upon the success of its predecessor, the XM4, with significant enhancements in noise cancellation and comfort. The XM5 is equipped with a second processor and twice the number of microphones dedicated to filtering out ambient noise. Additionally, the earcups have been redesigned to fit more snugly on the ear, improving passive noise isolation. This results in a noise-canceling performance that surpasses the XM4 and rivals any other headset in its price range.

The XM5 also boasts a sleeker redesign with a wider headband for better weight distribution and luxurious synthetic leather earcup padding that enhances comfort, allowing you to wear them for hours on end. One minor downside is that the XM5 can no longer be folded inward; it only swivels, making it less compact than its predecessor.

Battery life remains a strong point for the Sony WH-1000XM5, offering over 30 hours of playtime on a single charge with ANC activated, and it supports fast charging via USB Type-C.

At this price point, the Sony WH-1000XM5 is significantly more affordable than its competitors, such as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and AirPods Max. If you're in the market for top-tier noise-canceling headphones, this deal is not to be missed.
