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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Here at TechRadar, we've already spotted a ton of terrific Black Friday deals, but if you're on the hunt for some cheap ANC headphones, it won't get much sweeter than this. Yep, the Sony WH-CH720N are available for just $86.49 (was $149.99) from Amazon US and £64 (was £99) from Amazon UK – that's simply phenomenal value.

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.

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

You don't always need to buy the latest and greatest headphones for the best sound quality or ANC experience. This Black Friday, skip splurging on the Sony's WH-1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort Ultra and consider getting Sony's WH-1000XM4 instead.

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!
