Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are $198 on Amazon in the US during Prime Big Deal Days 2026 — down 50% from their usual $398 price. The WH-1000XM6 follow at $378, an 18% discount off their $460 launch price. Both deals went live at 11:19 a.m. ET on Monday, 6 October 2026, according to Wccftech’s reporting, and both are listed as in-stock on Amazon as of that time. No regional pricing or availability details for India, the UK, or other markets were provided in the source. No Indian rupee price was cited. No pre-order window, restock schedule, or expiry date for the offers was mentioned. The WH-1000XM5 remains the cheaper option by nearly $180. A gap wide enough to cover a second pair of mid-tier earbuds. It retains Sony’s dual-processor noise cancellation (V1 + QN1), 30mm custom drivers, LDAC support, Speak-to-Chat, Bluetooth multipoint, and 30-hour ANC battery life. The XM6 adds the new QN3 chip, said to be seven times faster than QN1. And 12 microphones for adaptive noise isolation tuned to air pressure and head shape. It also offers the same 30-hour battery but ships in six finishes, not just the XM5’s standard palette. Neither model’s design, weight, or IP rating was specified in the report. No firmware version, app compatibility notes, or voice assistant integrations were detailed. The XM5 has been on sale before, but never this low in the US. The XM6 launched earlier in 2026 and has not seen a public discount until now. Amazon Prime Big Deal Days runs through 8 October 2026. These listings are live now.
