Description:
On Cyber Monday, there are headphones deals that save you a bit of money, and then there are genuine bargains so let's go for option two, shall we?
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Here's something most Cyber Monday headphones deals roundups won't offer: a full review of the discounted products. But that's what I'm giving you because this is my full-time job, and even if I do say so myself, I know
great headphones when I put them over my ears.
Before we get into it properly, a quick note: whatever you do this Cyber Monday, please don't read this missive, click through to Amazon, get sidetracked by savings and buy a set that neither myself nor the wider TechRadar team has mentioned or reviewed to date. Or, if you do, just please don't don't come to me about it. Know this: the deals I've listed here (and only these deals) are the ones I've reviewed, tested, and recommended to you.
As well as this deals summary, I've written guides to the best earbuds , the best budget earbuds (yep, those are my hands in the lead images) and the best headphones but crucially , those guides don't divulge the current deals I'm about to give you.
So for my personal picks on headphones with Cyber Monday deals that I truly rate and love, read on Headphones Cyber Monday deals US quick links JLab JBuds Lux ANC: was $79.99 now $27 at Walmart CMF Headphone Pro: was $99 now $79 at Amazon Sennheiser Accentum Plus : was $249.95 now $149.95 at Amazon Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $159 at Amazon Sony WH-1000XM5:
was $399.99 now $248 at Amazon Today's best Cyber Monday headphones deals in the US
Right now, you can grab the incredible Sony WH-1000XM6 for $60 less with this Cyber Monday 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 just see our Sony WH-1000XM6 review for more. They'd make the perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season,
either for a loved one or to yourself! View Deal
These just came out and I mean just , because I only just finished my fully star-rated CMF Headphone Pro review . And for this money (under $80!) they're an insanely good deal. I don't need to insult your intelligence by telling
you it's the first time they've ever been discounted (see the first sentence of this deal block) but I do need you to know that I've heard them and for this money, the 'Energy slider', the excellent on-ear volume wheel and Nothing's phenomenal hearing tests (to create one of the most detailed personal sound profiles I've heard at the level) make this a top deal. Highly recommended. View Deal
Providing yet more proof (as if any were needed) that Bose is the king of
ANC, this new and improved set of QC Ultra headphones ticks virtually every box imaginable. Impressive noise-nixing capabilities, hi-res audio support over USB, solid battery life and an energetic and engaging sound. Our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Gen 2) review which is not yet one month old
by the way is the place to go for the full scoop, but know this: they've
never been discounted like this until now. They're the newest
noise-cancelling cans from Bose, and they're the best. Run! View Deal
If you've been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but have been put off by the admittedly high price tag, then today's your lucky day! These premium headphones have just dropped below $250, which is a whole $28 cheaper than
our price-tracking experts tell us they've ever been on Amazon and for that money, they're an excellent buy (our Sony WH-1000XM5 review is the place to
go for all of the information on why we love them so much, but think top ANC, great comfort, Sony sound quality. Someone's holiday gift just got sorted

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones offer class-leading noise cancellation with Quiet and Aware modes that ensure you can listen to as much or as little of your surroundings as you want, as you can learn about in our Bose
QuietComfort Headphones review . You get battery life of up to 24 hours,
while you can also listen via the audio cable if you prefer a wired option. Super comfy and ideal for calls, theres no need to take them off during the working day either. They're now at a fantastic low price for Cyber Monday at Amazon View Deal
I helped compile a full review of these headphones and while they're not sonically perfect (the sound is a little bass-heavy but could be ideal for those who like that kind of presentation) for this ultra-low fee the audio is much better than it has any right to be. Also, the build feels far more premium than even the MSRP suggests and the battery life, at up to 70 hours, or 44 with ANC deployed, is unheard of for the level. Read our full JLab
JBuds Lux ANC review for more, but know this: JLab is a trusted name in affordable head-fi and these over-ear headphones won't disappoint for this silly money. View Deal
This superb step-up model in the Accentum range adds fast-charging, angled drivers for superior timing and detail, sound personalization to improve
sound further, and aptX higher-res Bluetooth support to make the most of that sound tech. This isn't the absolute rock-bottom cheapest we've ever seen this model (that would be $129.95, ever so briefly), but it makes a model we already praised a lot in our Sennheiser Accentum Plus review even better value. View Deal
A gigantic saving on Sennheiser's excellent over-ear noise-cancelling headphones means it's still one of our standout deals of the Black Friday sales so far. They treat you to a brilliantly detailed and crisp sonic performance and benefit from some of the best noise cancelling tech we've
come across. Plus, with a huge 60 hours of battery life, you'll rarely need
to reach for the charger. And the deal applies to all colorways even the Special Edition set with gold-tone accents! The regular finishes have dropped a little lower than this before now, but keep checking anything approaching $199 and clicking to 'buy now' never felt so good just see our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review if you need further proof. View Deal
A wired set! With an extreme frequency range of 8Hz to 41,500Hz and 42mm high-performance transducers, the HD660 S2 are capable of confident sound
that doesn't duck any part of the mix from sub to treble. And with discount, you can get their pro-level sound for less. As our glowing Sennheiser HD660
S2 review explains, these headphones have the expansive soundstage you'd expect from a pair of open-backed cans plus supreme comfort, meaning they're
a joy for home listening.They have dipped a little lower, so if these are on your wish-list, keep an eye out although this is still a tidy little saving. View Deal Headphones Cyber Monday deals UK quick links CMF Headphone Pro:

These only just came out here's my fresh-off-the-presses CMF Headphone Pro review . And for this money (under 50!) they're an insanely good deal. I
don't need to insult your intelligence by telling you it's the first time they've ever been discounted (see the first sentence of this deal block) but
I do need you to know that I've heard them and for this money, the 'Energy slider', the excellent on-ear volume wheel and Nothing's phenomenal hearing tests (to create one of the most detailed personal sound profiles I've heard at the level) make this a top deal. Highly recommended. View Deal
OK so not a 2025-release product (and they have been superseded by the excellent XM6 iteration) but if you've been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but have been put off by the admittedly high price tag (I've listed their
original RRP, although they've been hovering around 259 for a little while) today's your lucky day. These premium headphones have just dropped below 200 and for that money, they're an excellent buy our review of the Sony
WH-1000XM5 is the place to go for that. I use them as reference cans and let me tell you, in 2025 very little comes close. Top ANC, great comfort, Sony sound quality. Someone's Christmas present might just have been sorted View Deal
In the UK as in the US, Bose is the king of ANC, this new and improved set of QC Ultra headphones ticks virtually every box imaginable. Impressive noise-nixing capabilities, hi-res audio support over USB, solid battery life and an energetic and engaging sound. Our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Gen 2) review which is not yet one month old by the way is the place to go for the full scoop, but know this: they've never been discounted like this until now.

Yes, they're a little older, but that's because they've stood the test of
time to become iconic a modern classic if you like. To wear them is to know about good headphones (to read our Sony WH-1000XM4 review is to know even more). Anyway, they're a stone cold hit, and unlike previous discounts, this deal's available across multiple colorways (Black and Blue). If you've been considering this pair and only this pair, it's a tempting deal. View Deal
These are the very latest version of Sony's range-topping ANC over-ears (unveiled in May 2025) and in our Sony WH-1000XM6 review we said that they offer class-leading noise cancellation, excellent audio performance and
highly intuitive touch controls and unlike their immediate predecessors they're also foldable. One thing we didn't like was their higher price, but this discount makes them much more affordable. These are as good as noise-cancelling headphones get. View Deal

A new all-time lowest-seen price on Sennheiser's excellent over-ear noise-cancelling headphones? Yes please! Although Amazon lists their most-recent price tag, I've listed the RRP just so you know the level we're dealing with here and that it's easily one of standout deals of the Cyber Monday sales. They treat you to a brilliantly detailed and crisp sonic performance and benefit from some of the best noise cancelling tech we've
come across. Plus, with a huge 60 hours of battery life, you'll rarely need
to reach for the charger. And the deal applies to the black or white finishes
although not the graphite option. It's one penny cheaper than they've ever been and honestly, they're a solid bargain at this price. View Deal
Sennheiser's non-Plus Accentum model delivers active noise cancellation and
50 hours of battery life at an even lower price. With the well-balanced sound and strong detail of Sennheiser, these are a great deal if you consider yourself a music purist but you don't have an audiophile budget. They're comfortable and lightweight, too. Oh, and this sub-100 deal is a return to their lowest-seen price, which means we've never seen them sell for cheaper.
A stone cold bargain on a trusted name in audio. View Deal
This superb step-up model in the Accentum range adds fast-charging, angled drivers for superior timing and detail, sound personalization to improve
sound further, and aptX higher-res Bluetooth support to make the most of that sound tech. This isn't the absolute rock-bottom cheapest we've ever seen this model (that would be 119.99, ever so briefly and a while ago), but it makes a model we already praised a lot in our Sennheiser Accentum Plus review even better value.

With an extreme frequency range of 8Hz to 41,500Hz and 42mm high-performance transducers, the HD660 S2 are capable of confident sound that doesn't duck
any part of the mix from sub to treble. And with this huge 150 discount, you can get their pro-level sound for much less. And yes, for clarity, this is
the lowest we've ever seen them sell for and as our glowing Sennheiser HD-660S2 review explains, these headphones have the expansive soundstage
you'd expect from a pair of open-backed cans plus supreme comfort, meaning they're a joy for home listening. View Deal
This is simply a great discount to see on the brilliant HD 550 headphones. Supremely comfortable, with brilliant Sennheiser audio quality, these really could be a gaming headset killer for you as long as you don't mind being tethered. They're capable of uncovering extreme levels of detail just see our Sennheiser HD 505 review for more. A new record-low price in the UK means the value has never been greater, and there's a host of links below to the discounted US price, too.
