Sony WF-C700N:was $119.99 now$85.49 at AmazonFive-star earbuds for under $90? You better believe it. We absolutely loved the audio quality of these comfortable, lightweight buds, and were impressed by the features and app control. This new low price is the cheapest we’ve seen these buds, beating the discounts we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro:was $229.99 now$157.95 at AmazonThis is the cheapest we’ve seen in the US, beating the Samsung sale we saw a few weeks back by a few dollars, and a great price for Samsung’s premium buds. They pair perfectly with Samsung phones to get high-quality audio, but any user will appreciate the overall performance, comfortable fit, battery life and strong noise cancelation. Check out our fullSamsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro reviewfor why we awarded them an impressive 4.5 stars out of five.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II:was $279 now$199 at AmazonIf you want the best noise-blocking power you can get for a reasonable price, these deliver it. They also sound superb, and have a ton of useful smart features. But the headline is the noise cancellation on offer here, and you can’t get better for under $200. Actually, you basically can’t get better, period. Oh, and even though this is the cheapest they’ve ever been, they’ve remained at this low price for a few weeks now.
Sony WH-1000XM5:was $399 now$328 at AmazonQuite simply the newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 was outstanding, the XM3 before it was excellent, and it’ll come as little surprise to know that Sony’s XM5 proposition is also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping 18% off, equalling their lowest ever seen price! They don’t fold up like the XM4, but they are some of thebest noise-cancelling headphonesmoney can buy from a trusted retailer – at their lowest-seen price.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones:was $429 now$379 at AmazonThese headphones sound just incredible, delivering Bose’s best-ever detail, balance and expansiveness – and they have the strongest noise cancellation we’ve ever heard too. They also deliver other features, such as spatial audio, app customization, multi-point connectivity and more. They’re expensive, but they’re worth it – and they were only released in October, so any discount this soon is nice.

Sony WF-C700N earbuds:was £99 now£74.99 at AmazonSimply the best cheaper noise cancelling earbuds you can buy – that’s what I said in myfive-star reviewof these April 2023 release earbud and I stick by it too. They’re lovely and small, they’re comfortable, and although you don’t get on-ear volume control or Sony’s higher-res LDAC support, they’ve never seen a discount like this before – which is a whopping 24% off the asking price. They briefly dropped to £75.99 for Prime Day earlier in the year, so this deal means an extra pound stays in your pocket. Tidy.
JBL Tune 770NC:was £119 now£79.99 at CurrysWe were very impressed by these headphonesin our review, where we praised the noise cancellation, lightweight build and battery life. With 30% off, they’re even better value – and are surely the best way of stopping outside noise at this price. This is the first time these have ever been discounted, so we are surprised that the deal has continued to be available following Black Friday.
Sony WH-1000XM4:was £350now£197.99 at AmazonThis is their lowest price yet and although they fell to this new low on November 16, they have remained at this discounted price since.Let’s face it, out of all the new headphones available today, these are an excellent set of wireless cans – and although the newer XM5s sound just that tiny bit better, it’s a closely run race. These hugely popular over-ear headphones are sonically gifted, boast excellent ANC and, unlike their younger siblings, fold up for easier transportation in their included travel case…
Sony WF-1000XM5:was £259 now£219 at AmazonSony’s latest flagship buds only launched recently, and now they’re at their lowest-ever price in this deal. They offer great sound quality, solid active noise cancellation, and great customization and app control, all in a new smaller and lighter design compared to Sony’s previous premium buds.
