Early Black Friday headphone deals live: save up to $150 now on Bose, Sony, Apple and more

This could well be the bargain of the century. A pair of noise-canceling headphones for under $50 is rare, but under $40 is unheard of. This is a comfortable pair of headphones that sound fine for the price, and back up their performance with 40 hours of battery life.

This pair of ANC headphones brings great sound and a comfortable fit to a very affordable price range. Their ANC is good as well, and 70 hours of battery make sure that they're going to last a long time. Commuter companions and office heroes.

Another pair of comfortable and affordable headphones that feature ANC and solid sound. They fold down nicely and compactly as well, making them easier to take to work or fit into your backpack. 50 hours of battery life is excellent as well.

This pair of folding headphones brings some premium features to a lower price point. 40 hours of battery is plenty to last you through the week, but LDAC support for hi-res listening is a massive boon for fans of excellent sound. They're comfortable too, and fold down compactly to fit into any bag you might throw them into.

A more premium pair of headphones is brought down to a more affordable price here. 50 hours of battery is better than headphones that cost more than twice as much, and the sound quality leaves little to be desired. ANC is good too, easily blocking out the noise of your commute.

It's good that Sony has kept the WH-1000XM4 on sale, because it means we can enjoy more deals like this. They still pack in a bunch of premium features — excellent noise canceling, good sound, comfortable fit — while now costing less than half the price of the newest pair in the family. Flagship headphones for less.

Bose's ANC headphones are still some of the best around if you want to block out all the noise. They're very light and comfortable, and while 24 hours of battery isn't quite as good as the competition, they make up for it with solid sound. The hard case is very good as well.

Sennheiser's excellent-sounding ANC headphones bring audiophile-grade sound to a wireless format. They're pretty comfortable, and last for a massive 60 hours. That's twice as much as the Sonys above. The hard case is amongst the very best as well.

The AirPods Max need little introduction — stunning metal build, comfortable fit, and excellent sound afforded them by Apple Music's lossless listening. 20 hours of battery isn't great, but they're otherwise a great pair of headphones at a reduced price.
