Cans for peanuts: Amazon's new headphone sale has insane price cuts on Sony, Bose and more

Sony WH-1000XM5 | AU$548 AU$488.95 (save AU$59.05)

Usually we wouldn't feature a deal with only a 10% discount, but we had to make an exception for the Sony XM5s. Comfortably claiming a spot on our list of the best headphones in Australia, where these headphones really excel is their active noise-cancellation. Earning 5 stars in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review, these headphones sound wonderful, will block out all noise to let you enjoy your listening experience and an app you'll actually enjoy. 

Sennheiser CX Plus earbuds | AU$259.95 AU$158 (save AU$101.95)

While it's the CX True Wireless that features in the best headphones in Australia, grabbing the improved CX Plus for considerably less is a deal we couldn't ignore. The biggest problem we had in our original CX True Wireless review was a lack of noise-cancelling. The CX Plus True Wireless fix that gripe, all while maintaining the glorious signature Sennheiser sound we loved from their predecessor. Improving on an already awesome pair of headphones and at more than AU$100 off their RRP, they're a steal. 

Beats Fit Pro | AU$299.95 AU$248 (save AU$51.95)

If you're looking for earbuds to elevate your workouts, few pairs of headphones can compete with these Beats. Earning our seal of approval as the best headphones for workouts, these stay secure in your ear, can resist any amount of sweat and will get you in the zone by blocking outside noise. While iPhone users gain access to their full benefits like Spatial Audio, Android owners can still enjoy these excellent wireless buds too, and they aren't regularly discounted. 

Beats Studio 3 | AU$499.95 AU$279 (save AU$220.95)

We admit, there are better sounding pairs of over-ear headphones on the market, but few can claim to be as cool as the Beats Studio 3. They're still very solid pair of headphones mind you and yes, they do look cool – just take a look at F1 superstar Daniel Ricciardo before every race. Their sound quality is plenty good enough for most users, and they're attractive, comfortable and have an exceptional battery life. While the Shadow Grey colourway sees the biggest price cut, there are four other colours (at varying discounts) to choose from via the same listing.

Anker Soundcore Space One | AU$219.99 AU$144.49 (save AU$75.50)

If you love, or would love, a pair of over-ear headphones but are unwilling to pay the prices of the excellent pairs above, this is the deal for you. They don't exude the same luxurious look and feel as others on this list, but it's to be expected and forgiven considering the price. Fortunately, they haven't sacrificed sound quality or battery life and you are still getting ANC. While they might take some EQ tweaking to make them perfect for you, they still offer the benefits of good over-ear headphones without the high prices.
