Noise-canceling headphones are an important piece of tech if you enjoy having zero distractions or outside noise while you jam to funky tunes or listen to podcasts. And, as you might have expected, Cyber Monday is a good time to invest.

While not as convenient as popping earbuds into your ears, noise-canceling headphones do a better job of erasing sound distractions when stacked up against popular wireless earbuds like Apple’s AirPods Pro or Jabra’s 75t. But if you prefer earbuds over headphones, we have rounded up the best wireless earbud deals this Black Friday.

We are picking out all of the best deals going on right now on several brands that offer noise-canceling headphones. If you want more deals for other tech categories, check out our best Cyber Monday deals post.

Sony headphones deals

While these may look familiar compared to the incredible 1000XM3s, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones are some of the best on the market if you want a pair of over-the-ear headphones with noise-canceling capabilities. When stacked up against their predecessors, the 1000XM4s allow users the ability to pair two devices via Bluetooth simultaneously, much like the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700s.

These headphones released in August, but they have been frequently discounted the last several months. And right now, Amazon and Best Buy have the headphones marked down to $278.

$278

Sony’s latest wireless headphones include better noise cancellation, plus the ability to pair two devices concurrently via Bluetooth. This matches the lowest price.

Sony’s midrange noise-canceling headphones, the XB900N, are at a discounted price. Normally, these headphones cost $248, but you can get them for $118 at Amazon and Best Buy.

Although these headphones are not as effective at active noise cancellation as the WH-1000XM4s, the XB900N will get things a little quieter if you need peace and quiet but want to keep your budget under $200.

Sony’s WH-CH710 have also seen a price cut this Black Friday. Normally, these headphones cost $200, but you can get them for just $88 at Amazon and Best Buy. The WH-CH710s offer AI noise cancellation, which, according to Sony, means the product “constantly analyzes environmental ambient sound components, and automatically selects the most effective noise-canceling mode for users’ surroundings.”

$178

Sony’s wireless headphones offer AI noise cancellation and up to 35 hours of battery life on a single charge. In addition to the headphones, this bundle also comes with Energizer UE20003PQ power bank and a microfiber cleaning cloth.

The Beats Solo Pro headphones are our best pick for on-ear noise-canceling headphones. They are the best choice for working out, thanks to great sweat resistance and strong clamping force, allowing the headphones to stay on your head while you move around.

Right now, Best Buy has them for as low as $170 in light blue, dark blue, or red (part of the “More Matte” collection). Or you can buy them for $230 in black, gray, or white. B&H Photo also has the headphones on sale, starting at $200 if you buy them in dark blue or red.
