Check the offer behind the price.
Three black Sony WH-1000XM5 listings displayed ₪799 in both of our checks, roughly six hours apart. The silver listing remained unavailable. Our second inspection also clarified BUG’s delivery-stock indicator. Below are the original observation, the repeat check and the fields that still prevent a fully verified deal recommendation.

In short
We revisited the same four pages at BUG, Payngo (מחסני חשמל) and Ivory instead of replacing them with more interesting results. Both sessions took place on September 11 in UTC; the repeat was after midnight on September 12 in Israel. This is one selected headphone family, not a market survey.
A regional price, a monthly instalment and the price of another colour do not replace the item price of the offer you can buy. An unavailable listing supplies no current purchasable offer.
The displayed black-model item prices tied at both observations. This records no observed price change at those moments; it does not prove the price stayed fixed between checks. Shipping remains separate, and unresolved purchase details prevent a winning-deal claim.

Observed on September 11, 2026
Four listings, with the missing details left visible.
The target was one black Sony WH-1000XM5 headset sold as a standalone retail item in Israel. We inspected the silver Ivory page found in search, then followed its link to the black variant. The rows follow our inspection order and are not a ranking. Prices and availability can change after this snapshot.
| Listing | Displayed item price | Shipping disclosure | Purchase evidence and limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUG · black · SKU 4548736132580 | ILS 799 | Free | Two-year Isfar warranty displayed. Purchase control present; stock could not be confirmed from the stock panel. |
| Payngo · black · WH-1000XM5B | ILS 799 | Standard home delivery free; pickup-point delivery + ILS 9; same-day + ILS 45 | Page states available for supply. Warranty tab names two years through Isfar, the official importer. |
| Ivory · silver · IV-WH1000XM5S | No purchasable price displayed | Unknown | Page states unavailable. Different colour from the target. Excluded from any same-variant price comparison. |
| Ivory · black · IV-WH1000XM5B | ILS 799 | Home + ILS 29; pickup point + ILS 9; express + ILS 55 | Stock panel states available for delivery. One-year Ivory warranty displayed; importer identity not established. |
These are the ordinary displayed ILS item prices, not the separately labelled Eilat prices or monthly payments. We did not apply loyalty points, coupons, membership or financing benefits. Shipping options were read from the pages without entering an address; they are not a promise of delivery to every location.
Repeat session · completed September 11, 21:26 UTC
The same four pages,
checked again.
The first inspection ended at 15:41 UTC on September 11. We revisited its four URLs in a second session completed at 21:26 UTC, about six hours later. That is an intraday repeat in UTC, not two full days of price history. The dates shown on this article use Israel local time.
We kept the target and page list fixed before opening the prices again: one black WH-1000XM5 headset, ordinary Israeli storefront, full one-off item price. The silver Ivory page remains in the record as an excluded variant.
| Listing | First → repeat displayed item price | Repeat stock / separate shipping | What this establishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUG · black · 4548736132580 | ILS 799 → ILS 799 | Delivery row shows a green availability check; free shipping displayed. | No observed item-price change. Two-year Isfar warranty still displayed. |
| Payngo · black · WH-1000XM5B | ILS 799 → ILS 799 | Available for supply; standard home free, pickup point + ILS 9, same-day + ILS 45. | No observed item-price change. Warranty panel again states two years through Isfar. |
| Ivory · silver · IV-WH1000XM5S | No purchasable price → no purchasable price | Unavailable; shipping unknown. | Still excluded: wrong colour and unavailable. |
| Ivory · black · IV-WH1000XM5B | ILS 799 → ILS 799 | Available for delivery; home + ILS 29, pickup point + ILS 9, express + ILS 55. | No observed item-price change. Warranty term/provider were not reverified in the repeat session. |
BUG’s first stock check was inconclusive. In the repeat session we opened its stock panel and visually read the green check beside the delivery row; the icons did not carry readable availability labels. This resolves what the panel displayed, not stock at checkout for a particular address.
Payngo’s warranty panel said two years through Isfar, while some gallery alternative text still referred to one year. We use the dedicated warranty panel as the recorded offer disclosure and leave that text inconsistency visible here. Buyers should confirm the terms that apply to their order.
Download the eight observation rows as CSV. The table preserves exclusions and unknown fields. A missing shipping price is never zero. We have not verified tax treatment and personal eligibility for every offer or completed checkout, so these observations still do not establish a winning deal or historical discount.
How to reproduce the check
Start with a product definition.
Keep the evidence for each offer.
Choose the exact model and required variant before looking at prices. Open each retailer’s product page, read the selected option and purchase area, then check stock and warranty disclosures. Save the URL and observation time. Our four pages were inspected in one browser session on September 11, ending at 15:41 UTC.
- Selection. A convenience sample of one headphone family at three Israeli stores. It was chosen to illustrate identity, availability and regional-price differences. No claim is made about the rest of those stores or the market.
- Identity and condition. Match model code, colour and package contents. The active pages were ordinary retail listings without a used or refurbished label in their purchase areas. We did not inspect a physical unit or independently certify factory-new condition.
- Price basis. Use the displayed full item price in ILS, one headset, and the ordinary storefront. Keep Eilat or other regional tax treatment separate. Confirm tax basis and personal eligibility before calling two offers fully comparable.
- Unresolved fields. The original BUG stock check was inconclusive; the repeat documents its delivery-row indicator. Ivory’s importer was not established, and its warranty was not reverified in the repeat. We did not complete checkout or verify address-specific terms, tax treatment and personal eligibility for every offer.
- Conclusion. The three displayed black-model item prices were equal in the original check and again in the repeat. Two isolated observations cannot establish the lowest price over 30 days, the path between checks, or a Black Friday saving.
Before comparing numbers
Eight things that can change
what you are actually buying.
Use these checks for headphones, electronics, gifts or household products. They are a method, not allegations about the retailers in the snapshot.
- A shared product family. A familiar brand name can hide a different generation or format. Counter-move: compare the full model identifier.
- A different variant. Colour, storage, size and package contents can change the offer. Counter-move: write down the selected option on each page.
- An unavailable product. An old listing may remain searchable after stock disappears. Counter-move: require current availability before treating its price as a purchasable alternative.
- A regional or tax-specific price. The smallest number may be labelled for a different purchase location or tax basis. Counter-move: verify that it applies to your purchase.
- A monthly amount. An instalment is only part of the payment schedule. Counter-move: record the full item price and any financing terms separately.
- A conditional benefit. Points, cashback, membership or trade-in may require something you have not supplied. Counter-move: compare the eligible one-off offer and record the condition.
- Different condition or warranty. Used stock and another warranty provider can change the purchase. Counter-move: record condition, provider, duration and any importer statement without guessing.
- Missing shipping. A delivery charge that is not shown is unknown. Counter-move: disclose free, the stated charge, or unknown; keep it separate from item-price savings.

Read the separate costs and terms.
Record shipping, tax basis, warranty and membership or financing requirements.

Questions and answers
Fair questions,
plain answers.
How do I compare prices for exactly the same product?
Match the model, variant, quantity, condition, currency, tax basis, availability and purchase requirements first. Then compare normalized item prices. Record shipping separately and preserve a dated source link.
Which store won this comparison?
We did not name a winner. Three black-model pages displayed ILS 799, and some purchase details remained unverified. The snapshot is a worked example of reading offers, not a fully verified deal recommendation.
Are the listed prices live?
No. These are two dated browser observations on September 11, 2026 in UTC, with the repeat after midnight on September 12 in Israel. Open the source pages and repeat the checks before relying on a current price, stock or delivery term.
Can I compare an Eilat price with a regular online price?
Only after verifying that the purchase location, eligibility and tax basis are comparable. A separately labelled regional price is not automatically available for an ordinary delivery order.
Does free shipping mean a lower item price?
No. Shipping is a separate disclosure. It may affect your purchasing choice, but it does not change the item-price comparison or become an item-price saving.
Does this prove a Black Friday discount?
No. Both checks were in September, roughly six hours apart. Neither establishes the lowest price over 30 days or a November offer. Two matching observations do not show what happened between them.
