I’ve been a longtime fan of Sony noise-cancelling headphones. I’ve been using them for years, but when I picked up my first pair, I had no idea I was about to fall in love.
Sony headphones haven’t left my ears since. They’ve become my go-to for everything, flights, morning walks, Zoom calls, and even blocking out the chaos of a busy cafe while I work.
And now, in truly exciting news, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

Normally retailing for $549, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are down to just $398 during the Prime Day sales.
That’s a saving of over 27 per cent and a rare chance to grab celebrity-approved gear for way less.
Pop royalty Olivia Rodrigo and Post Malone have both been spotted wearing their own pair of Sony Headphones, and I totally get why.
Sony has truly outdone itself with this model. The headphones are sleek, lightweight, and somehow manage to be both high-tech and incredibly comfortable.
The soft-fit leather is plush enough for all-day wear, which is lucky because I’m never taking them off.
Let’s talk sound. The noise cancellation is unreal.
With 8 built-in microphones and dual processors, these headphones block out the world so completely that I genuinely missed my name being called at the airport.
If you’ve never experienced true silence while still being able to hear every crisp detail of your music, it’s a game-changer.
And yes, the battery life is as impressive as they say.
You get up to 30 hours on a full charge, and if you’re in a rush, just three minutes plugged in gives you another three hours of use. The USB-C charging is fast, reliable and fuss-free.
I also love the touch controls, swipe up to turn the volume up, tap to pause, or hold to activate your voice assistant. It’s intuitive and smooth, and once you get used to it, you’ll never go back to fiddly buttons again.
Call quality is another big win. I’ve taken work calls while walking down a busy street and still sounded clear on the other end, thanks to the four beamforming mics and advanced audio processing tech.
Whether you’re taking calls, listening to podcasts or escaping into a playlist, the WH-1000XM5 delivers a premium listening experience from start to finish.
If you’ve had your eye on a pair of top-tier headphones, now is the time. With the Prime Day price cut, these are as affordable as they’ll ever get and honestly, they’re worth every cent.
The Sony WH1000XM6 are the latest to launch this year at a $698 price point. You can also shop on Amazon Australia here.
Olivia Rodrigo has great taste (obviously), and in this case, I’m fully on board.
