We are pretty big fans of the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for many reasons. These headphones offer best-in-class voice call quality.

As for earbuds, the Sony WF-C700N buds are a great option. These buds feature an ergonomic design for maximum comfort.

Why this deal matters

If you wanted to buy the duo separately, it would be super expensive. The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones typically retail for $400, while the WF-C700N earbuds usually go for $120. This brings the total to $520. Even if you catch both on sale individually, it would still cost significantly more than getting the bundled deal. Right now, you can snag both of them for $248. Amazon notes that this deal will expire on Dec. 31, but it could be even sooner if quantities sell out. Grab what you want now if you’re interested.
