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.

So for my personal picks on headphones with Cyber Monday deals that I truly rate and love, read on…

Sony WH-1000XM6Save 13% ($61.99)Sony WH-1000XM6: was $459.99 now $398 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼

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!

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.

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!

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… 

View DealBose QuietComfort HeadphonesSave 54% ($190)Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $159 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼

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, there’s 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 DealJLab JBuds Lux ANCSave 66% ($52.99)JLab JBuds Lux ANC: was $79.99 now $27 at WalmartRead moreRead less▼

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 DealSennheiser Accentum Plus Headphones Save 40% ($100)Sennheiser Accentum Plus Headphones : was $249.95 now $149.95 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼

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 DealSennheiser HD660 S2Save 10% ($47.26)Sennheiser HD660 S2: was $477.21 now $429.95 at AmazonRead moreRead less▼

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.
