The best Black Friday Sony headphones and earbuds deals:

It’s no secret that we dig Sony products at Mashable. From TVs to speakers, they consistently earn shoutouts in our tech roundups. We particularly like the brand’s lineup of headphones and earbuds. AirPods and Beats may steal the spotlight, but Sony also has a lot to offer. If you’re in the market for new headphones or earbuds this holiday season — or you’re looking for a gift that’ll actually get used on the reg — don’t sleep on Sony.

Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy already have some sweet savings on Sony headphones and earbuds ahead of Black Friday’s official start. And to save you from having to scroll through them all, we’ve rounded up the best deals below. We’ll be updating this list as we inch closer to the big day, so check back if you’re looking for something in particular.

A word of caution: as we searched for the best Sony headphones and earbuds deals, we stumbled across lots of too-good-to-be-true pricing, which ended up coming from third-party sellers at Walmart and Amazon. While some third-party sellers may be reliable, use discretion before snagging a deal that seems over the top.

The WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones were awarded a nearly perfect rating by Mashable’s own Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern. She was particularly impressed by the sound quality and noise cancellation compared to AirPods Pro. If you’re in the market for an upgrade in headphones, you’re in luck: The WH-1000XM5’s are already $20 cheaper than they were last Black Friday season and we’re still over a week away from the official day.

Why we like it

The small-but-mighty Sony WF-C500 earbuds offer an impressive 20 hours of battery life with their charging case, an IPX4 waterproof rating, and easy connectivity with the Sony app for a more immersive and personalized listening experience. They may not feature noise cancellation, but they’re a decent pair of no-frills wireless earbuds. Not to mention, their current early Black Friday price at Walmart is straight up bonkers at just $29. That’s a savings of $69 and the lowest price to date by a landslide.
