There are few greater joys in life than finding a great deal on a new pair of headphones — and this deal on the Sony WH-1000XM5 is one of the best we've seen all year. We've got new, lowest prices for these excellent headphones — both in the U.S. and the U.K. — for one of the greatest early Black Friday deals so far.

Right now you can buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 for $248 at Amazon, thanks to a massive $150 discount. In the U.K., you can pick up the WH-1000XM5 for £229 at Amazon U.K., again thanks to a massive discount. What are you waiting for? Snap 'em up before they're gone!

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are an excellent set of cans, and at this price they're about as unmissable as it comes. Top-notch sound paired with great noise canceling make for a great portable audio companion, bolstered by 30 hours of battery to make sure they last. We've never seen them cheaper than this.

The XM5 are also at their lowest ever price in the U.K.. Same headphones, though — same great sound, excellent ANC and long-lasting battery life. I can't see them getting cheaper than this when Black Friday rolls around.

What do you get for your $250? Headphones that were, for a very long time indeed, some of the best headphones you could buy. They're the perfect jack-of-all-trades, mixing great active noise cancelation (ANC), stunning sound and extensive features together in their bubbling cauldron for an enticing headphones concoction.

The ANC blocks out the noise of people on the train, or the sound of the gossiping around the watercooler at work. Sony's headphones have always been top-notch noise cancelers, and the WH-1000XM5 are no different. The transparency mode is good as well, with a fairly natural sound.

Sound quality is very impressive, with rounded mids, detail for days and plenty of bass. The soundstage is just what you need, regardless of your chosen genre — some might say these cans sound even better than the brand new WH-1000XM6.

30 hours of battery life rounds out the package, ensuring they last for a long time. This $150 reduction is the lowest price we've ever seen the XM5 hit, and we've not even reached Black Friday yet. The unmissable deal of the month is here, it's from Sony, and it'll block out all the noise.
