Best Cyber Monday noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals still live:



Past-Gen Sony Headphones Deal
Sony WH-1000XM5 blue

As Mashable's tech editor, I've covered a lot of cool headphone launches this year. The long-awaited Sony XM6 headphones finally came out this year, and we also got new flagship headphones from Nothing, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, and Beats. If you need a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the Cyber Monday season is the best possible time to buy. And while the sale is technically over, some deals are hanging on into the following week.

However, you won't find all of them in this guide, as not every post-Cyber Monday headphones deal is worth shopping for. I've gathered the biggest discounts on the noise-cancelling headphones I'd actually recommend buying, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for Christmas gifts for techies.

From audiophile-worthy headphones from Bowers & Wilkins to the latest Bose wireless earbuds, you'll find the best of the best here.

Best overall Cyber Monday headphones deal

Why we like it

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones (1st gen).

Though these are last-gen headphones from Bose, $279 puts them at a pretty unbeatable price — and one that's $20 cheaper than what they were at over Cyber Weekend. In Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard's comparison between the two generations, she found that the two weren't hugely different, with these headphones still competing with other top of the line models in comfort, audio quality, and noise cancellation. She wrote, "On sale, the first gen Bose QC Ultra headphones have a near unbeatable value," and that's especially true at this record-low price.

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

I tested Sony's legendary XM5 headphones against the newer version, the XM6, as did Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard. And both of us found that they're far more alike than different. Unless you're a picky audiophile, I think most people should opt for the XM5 model while it's on sale, which is what Allard recommended in her comparison. These headphones jumped back in price somewhat following Cyber Monday to $278 (instead of their record low $248), but they're still an excellent value). And they still have all the features you really need: excellent audio quality, best-in-class active noise-cancellation, and an easy-to-use app to adjust EQ settings.

Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) earbuds.

The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are the best noise-cancelling earbuds of 2025, full stop. The only buds that really come close? The first-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, which I'm wearing as I write this sentence. These earbuds are supremely comfortable, and they let you slip into a cone of silence on demand. Their price is a bit higher than the $216 low they hit over Cyber Weekend, but getting them for $249 is still a solid deal.
