$519.98 Save $271.98

Getting something for free in 2025? In a year with constant price increases, seeing something that's actually desirable at zero cost is a true delight. For some reason, Amazon is feeling generous this holiday season and has bundled excellent headphones with free earbuds.

As of Dec. 24, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on sale for $248 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $399.99. They also come with free Sony WF-C700N earbuds. In total, this bundle saves shoppers a major $271.98 compared to the standard bundle price of $519.98. That's a 52% discount.

Considering the Sony XM5 headphones are on sale on their own for $248 at Amazon, there's no reason why you wouldn't take advantage of scoring them with free Sony WF-C700N earbuds. Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted the sale price on the XM5 headphones is "one of the best headphone deals of the holiday season," which means getting free earbuds on top of this sale is peak Christmas present.

Sony launched the new XM6 headphones earlier this year, replacing the XM5 headphones as the latest flagship model. But the XM5s are still well worth your attention, especially bundled into this deal. The Sony XM6 headphones do come with some improvements over the XM5 headphones, like folding earcups. But once we consider the current sale price on the XM6 headphones of $398, paying $248 for the XM5 headphones and getting free WF-C700N earbuds feels like we've stumbled into some kind of life hack.
