Prime Day has finally kicked off, and the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are down to $198 at Amazon, reduced from $399.99. That’s a $201.99 discount and a record-low price since launch on Sony’s over-ear ANC headphones — a very rare chance to get them this cheap.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones cut down background noise using multiple microphones that work together and adjust based on where you are and how you’re wearing them. This helps keep outside sounds like traffic, chatter, or office noise reduced while keeping what you’re listening to clear and steady.

The headphones also earned an honorable mention in our roundup of the best headphones, thanks to their strong noise cancellation and long-standing reputation for reliable everyday use. However, the build is fully plastic and they don’t fold, which can make them a bit less convenient for travel.

Sound quality is handled by Sony’s newer audio processor, which helps keep music detailed and voices clear during calls. There are also four microphones that focus on picking up your voice for phone or video calls, so you don’t have to repeat yourself in noisy places.
