Sony’s WH-1000 series has long been a favorite among audiophiles, thanks to its unbeatable noise cancellation and crystal-clear sound. The Sony WH-1000XM5 takes it up a notch, keeping the streak alive as a gold standard for wireless headphones.

The WF-C510 earbuds and WH-C520 over-ears are both five-star pairs (the earbuds are also What Hi-Fi? Award winners) and our top pick at their ultra-budget prices, beating similarly affordable rivals we have tested from brands such as JBL, EarFun and Jabra for sound quality.

Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headset is a great fantastic opportunity this Black Friday if you’re looking for a headphones below the $200 mark. With their record low price of $198, they provide exceptional value for anyone seeking premium sound quality and effective noise cancellation. This is one of our favorite headphones deal for this Friday.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are some of the world's best noise-canceling headphones, combining Sony's excellent wireless technology, top sound quality, and supreme comfort. And as luck would have it, they're now on offer for just $298 (was $399.99) at Amazon in the US, or £249 (was £379) in the UK.

Sony makes many best-in-class tech products, ranging from audio gear to cameras to home entertainment.

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.

Before Black Friday these headphones cost £299 direct from Amazon, so the bargain isn’t quite as red hot as the £379 RRP might suggest. But it’s still a legit deal good enough to make some folks hit the checkout before these run out. We imagine at at least some of the colours may well do so.

Sony's WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones are currently discounted by a big 43%, and are now priced at $198—down from their original $348 list price. That's almost half off if you go with this deal on a top-quality set.

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!
