Deal Details
NOT SHOWING on the Target website, but marked down to $165 on the shelves as clearance.
And maybe there's a hidden markdown too?
When I saw them on the shelf, I was ready for the clearance price. I couldn't resist and made the purchase.
However, I just checked my receipt. It lists Sony with an MSRP of an astonishing $330. But I was only charged $99. In total, 70% OFF!
Even the employee was surprised. There were only two left in my store – now just one, and the employee claims it's his when he gets his next paycheck.
After a quick search, I noticed the newer Sony 'buds have an oval shape but these older XM5's sure looks like very close performers. I keep coming back to their flagship earbuds. The sound quality and a ton of other great features are just amazing.
I'm not sure if it's the absolute best price, but it's definitely the lowest I've ever paid for flagship Sony earbuds.
I'd love to upload my jpeg picture of the clearance price but this website won't allow it.

So, SKIP online shopping. Check out the stores instead.

I saw
WH-1000XM6
For $229 in a Target a couple of weeks ago. I assumed it was a one off/store specific
But if they are also clearancing the buds at another store, this might be more systemic

The XM5 are MUCH better. I have both and would not bother with the XM4.

If you could snag the WH-1000XM6 for $229 buy those all day. They were a significant overhaul from the WH-1000XM5 model (internal and external/folding). Notable hinge issues with the WH-1000XM5, be aware if you purchase those with this discount
