Even though Prime Day 2 is long gone and Black Friday is just around the corner, we're still seeing record-low prices pop up in between sale seasons. If you're starting your holiday shopping early and someone on your list needs wireless earbuds, a great pair from Sony with active noise cancellation is on sale for their lowest price ever today.

As of Oct. 31, you can get the Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless earbuds at Amazon for just $249.99. That's a discount of $50, or 17%. Note that only the black colorway is at this discounted price.

The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds use Bluetooth connectivity and offer top-of-the-line noise cancellation. Sony uses six microphones for better noise cancellation while the earbud tips are made of a foam material designed to feel soft while insulating the earbud's sound. Sync your Sony WF-1000XM5 to the Headphones Connect app and you can control the volume of background sounds or change the settings to focus on voices, which is a useful feature if you're wearing the buds while walking or riding public transport. The nifty speak-to-chat feature will pause the music when you start talking so you can have easier conversations on the go.

A full charge gives you eight hours of listening time, and get a full 24 hours of charge with the included case. Plus, a three-minute quick charge earns you an extra hour of playtime. The earbuds are also water resistant so a run in the rain won't do any harm — unless you're running hills and wind up with sore quad muscles.

For some green bonus points, these earbuds are made of recycled plastic materials and have 100% paper packaging materials.
