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.

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-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.

The headphones are a no-miss at their current price, so don't waste time and save on these great-sounding cans as soon as possible

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.

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

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!
