Amazon is selling 4.5-star Sony headphones for $33 and Cyber Monday just got real

Sony on-ears for under $33? That's not a mistake: this deal takes a cool 53% off the list price, making them good contenders to buy again, even though they're getting just a little old. We said in our Sony WH-CH520 review they are "simply superb value", and this deal more than keeps them that way. They sound good, they run for 50 hours between charges, and they're comfortable too – just as long as you note that you won't get active noise cancellation (something I can take or leave, to be honest).

Right now, you can grab the incredible Sony WH-1000XM6 for $50 less with this Black Friday deal, meaning they're the cheapest they've ever been. These headphones offer beautifully balanced audio output, top-tier touch controls, ergonomic comfort, and noise-crushing ANC. They'd make the perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season, either for a loved one or to yourself!

If you're looking for a superb set of noise-cancelling over-ears but don't want to pay a lot of cash, this deal on the excellent WH-CH720N headphones is superb: you're getting over 50% off the MSRP. As we said in our WH-CH720N review, you're getting a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. These mid-range over-ears are comfortable, enjoyable and deliver solid noise-blocking too.

When we tested these headphones at launch, we asked – are these the best headphones ever made? They deserved every one of the five stars we gave them in our Sony WH-1000XM4 review thanks to their stellar sound quality and class-leading noise cancellation – and they're still a really strong pick today at this very low price. They once dropped to just $129, but that was brief, and never repeated – this is the best price we've seen for them otherwise.

These headphones may have been superseded by the excellent XM6, but if you've been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but didn't like their fairly high price tag – we've listed their original MSRP, although they've been hovering just below $340 several times this year – then today is a good day to buy. These premium headphones have just dropped below $250, and this is the lowest they've ever been – and at that price they're an excellent buy. Check out our full Sony WH-1000XM5 review to get all the details. We like these headphones a lot: they deliver very good active noise cancellation, superior comfort, and Sony sound quality. They'd make a good gift for somebody special, and that somebody could be you.

Sony's newest mid-range wireless earbuds for less than $80 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale? Yup: this is a real bargain. For this money, you're getting Sony quality for the kind of money you'd expect to pay for a much lesser brand. In our Sony WF-C710N review, we heaped praise on these buds for their bolstered battery life, fantastic sound quality and upgraded ANC. At this price point, our recommending them is a no-brainer – at a third of the price of the high-end Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds, we think these are the better-value buy.

We said in our review of the WF-C510 that these are among our favorite low-cost earbuds thanks to their punchy, high-quality sound, comfortable fit and ultra-affordable price. We rated them four and a half stars when they were at full price, and said they're preferable even to Apple's more expensive AirPods 4 as great budget buds. At this discounted price they're an absolute steal, as long as you're happy without active noise cancellation.
