Black Friday has landed and some of the biggest savings this year are on headphones. From budget Sony models to premium noise-cancelling sets, these are the standout deals worth grabbing first.
Black Friday has arrived and there are hundreds of thousands of deals available on the likes of Amazon or Wowcher.
Black Friday itself is Friday 28 November but both deals websites have launched a host of discounts early. After reporting on Black Friday discounts for over a decade, I have found the best bargains are usually in the technology sections and more specifically, for headphones.
While TVs, FireSticks and Kindles do drop in price they are subject to similar discounts all year round. Headphones however do get discounted for Black Friday and there are good deals available for those who search for them.
Here are the best over-ear headphones for Black Friday 2025.
Under £30
It is rare to be able to get a pair of Sony over-ear headphones for under £30 but the lightweight Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Bluetooth headphones have dipped below £30 for the first time in the Amazon Black Friday sale.
Usually around £45, you can get them for £28 on Amazon in a choice of six pastel colours. The headphones actually pack a lot of tech into the cheap price. You get DSEE technology to upscale every track, 360 Reality Audio, and a customisable 5 band EQ to help improve the quality of the sound in the budget headphones.
Under £50
The price of Beats Solo 2 is not usually reduced below £100. The ultra trendy headphones come in a selection of bright statement colours and include immersive audio and a built in microphone.
There is a way to get a pair of Beats Solo 2 for a massively discounted price on Black Friday. Deals website Wowcher is offering a pair of refurbished headphones for less than £50. The headphones will be fully working order with some cosmetic blemishes.
The headphones are under warranty for a year, giving you piece of mind.
Under £100
Beats Solo 4 are usually priced at around £200. They are two generations newer than the Solo 2 on offer with the Wowcher deal and come with an impressive 50 hours of battery life.
The headphones are ultra light and come with UltraPlush ear cushions to aid with comfort. The Fast Fuel function means a quick 10-minute charge gives up to 5 hours of playback.
Beats are the choice of headphone for people who want quality sound with distinct style. They are also perfect for the money-conscious buyer because they are now half price in the Black Friday sale, bringing the price below £100.
£200+
The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best on the market for premium over-ear headphones at a relatively affordable price. I would choose these over the flagship BOSE headphones and the Black Friday deal brings the price down from £400 to just £350.
You can get the previous generation for £205 in the sale, which is a very good bargain if you are not too concerned with having the very latest headphone technology.
The WH-1000XM6 is notable for its incredible battery life. They have 30 hours of playtime and a quick three minute charge tops them up for three hours. They include 360 surround sound and use six AI microphones to improve sound quality.
The Sony headphones are packed full of tech to offer the best sound experience and with discounts very rare Black Friday is the best opportunity to get them for a reduced rate.
