As the biggest Black Friday deals start to get going, it's now the best time of year for you to get a new pair of headphones. This is now my third Black Friday tracking Black Friday headphones deals, so I have a very good idea of the kinds of prices you should be paying for the best headphones around.

So far, we've seen the bulk of the deals at Amazon, with headphones and earbuds from Sony and Bose returning to record low prices. In addition to our top picks as of Nov. 11, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, we're also seeing markdowns on brands like Apple, Beats, Jabra, and Google.

Indeed, the Sonos Ace are now 17 per cent off at Amazon and Sevenoaks, bringing the price to a more palatable – but still very premium – £369. They are actually slightly cheaper at AV.com, although at the time of writing only one pair is in stock.

Right now, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are going for as a much as 26% off — amounting to a savings of over $100. Get the midnight blue or smokey pink for $330, the black for $328, or the silver for just $297.

The sleek Sony WH1000XM4 wireless headphones are currently on sale for $199.99, $150 off their list price of $349.99. That's a fantastic early Black Friday treat for shoppers, especially considering how high-quality these headphones are.

With Black Friday just a few weeks away, it's no surprise that Best Buy is already stepping up to the plate with impressive savings. In fact, this morning a new batch of Best Buy Black Friday deals just went live (with another wave expected on November 8th).

Amazon has knocked a big 47% off these Sony noise canceling headphones in a mega deal before Black Friday. Here's the limited-time discount to shop at this super-low sale price.
