Black Friday is just around the corner, but major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are already kicking off their programming. In other words: it's a pretty good time to pick up a pair of headphones on sale.

If you're after a Bluetooth speaker instead, the cute little XB100 can be yours for just $38 in the US (was $59.99) or £34 (was £55) but really, that's just a taster of the deal's Sony is running across Amazon and other retailers

You look at Apple’s over-the-ear headphones and see they are appropriately called the AirPods Max. Samsung has a line of earbuds named the Galaxy Buds, fitting in with the rest of its Galaxy lineup of personal devices.

The Sony WH-1000XM5s are some seriously excellent noise-cancelling headphones, and this Black Friday deal on them is certainly not to be missed.

We gave top marks to the Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones when we reviewed them a few years ago, and today they’re only $200 on Amazon!

XM5, is nothing short of exceptional and represents the pinnacle of what one can expect from a premium headphone. This Black Friday, you can grab these great headphones at a fantastic price of $298, down from $399.
