Where I’d buy it
Sony’s own product page blocked my reader, so I have no verified Sony link. Best Buy, where I read the $378, comes first.

- History
- Best Buy badges $378 as its lowest price in 365 days. Technobezz reported the same $378 at Amazon (Midnight Blue) on Oct 5, below 30-, 90- and 180-day averages of $449.71, $424.26 and $422.30; I could not re-read that page on Oct 7.
This price is from Oct 7, 2026 and may have changed. Check the retailer before you buy.
Why I’d buy, why I’d skip
Why I’d buy
- You want proven over-ear noise cancelling and would rather not pay the $459.99 list price.
- You travel; it folds into a compact case.
Why I’d skip
- You want open-ear or on-ear headphones.
- Battery life beats silence for you. The Nothing Headphone (a) is rated for 135 hours at $129.

What holds up
- The price clears a real history test: Best Buy itself badges $378 as its lowest in a year, and Technobezz put it about $44 under the six-month average on Oct 5.
- Two stores had the same $378 within two days, so this is not one colour at one retailer.
- It is the safe pick in my headphones appraisal, with the strongest evidence of the three.
What to weigh
- I read the Black listing. Other finishes may cost more on the same day.
- Sony’s own pages blocked my reader, so the processor and microphone counts rest on Technobezz’s summary of the listing.
- I have not worn these. Comfort and sound comments come from TechRadar and Sony’s listing, not from me.
