The Sony Xperia 5 II went on pre-order in Europe and it has now reached the US. There are no Sony-branded headphones in it for you, instead there’s a gaming bundle available (which does include headphones).
Note that if you order now you will have to wait for well over a month before getting your phone as the release date is set for December 4. In Europe the first units will ship next week and that’s not the only difference – in the US the phone is limited to 4G (while it is 5G-enabled in Europe and Japan).
You can find the Xperia 5 II at several online stores, the price is the same – $950. Let’s start with Sony.com where you’ll get vouchers for the HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset (red), a 10,000 mAh power bank (with USB-C and wireless charging) and 21,600 points (you’ll need to visit this page to claim the points).

You can also pick it up from Focus and Adorama with the same perks. It’s also on B&H, though we don’t see the headset or power bank, just the points. Amazon has it as well, but with no mention of any pre-order perks.
That said, Sony will give you a free 3-month subscription to Tidal HiFi when you get your new phone, you can read more about that here. This deal (and the points) is not tied to any particular store, unlike the headset and power bank.
