The best noise cancelling headphone deals ahead of Black Friday from someone who’s tested some of the most popular pairs

Best noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals ahead of Black Friday

---

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

So far, we’ve seen the bulk of the deals at Amazon, with headphones and earbuds from Sony and Bose returning to record low prices. In addition to our top picks as of Nov. 11, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, we’re also seeing markdowns on brands like Apple, Beats, Jabra, and Google.

With a few pairs already down at lows we saw during Prime Day, we’re anticipating that the actual day of Black Friday (this year, it falls on Nov. 29) will bring new record lows. In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on the best noise-cancelling headphones deals live, from now through Black Friday.

Best noise-cancelling headphones deal

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

If you want headphones that have great noise cancelling and incredible (adjustable) sound, then the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones won’t let you down. Out of the noise-cancelling headphones we’ve tested, these are our top pick for audiophiles. It can be a little annoying that the ear cups don’t fold in, but with 30 hours of battery life, you’ll probably find yourself wearing them more often than not. Dropped down to $297, these headphones are at a dollar cheaper than their Prime Day price. Our guess is that this means they’ll drop even lower on Black Friday, but if you want to pick up a pair early, this is a decent price.

Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds.

For folks who want the best possible noise cancelling they can get in their earbuds, we like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. They do come with the price tag that reflects their top notch noise cancelling — but, on sale, they cost less than the full price of AirPods Pro. After testing out these earbuds, Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino was more impressed than she expected to be, writing, “Truthfully, I can’t imagine a person that wouldn’t appreciate these buds. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve ever experienced, and the music feels like it surrounds you thanks to spatial audio. Plus, the fit is like no other.”
