What's that? You've made it to Black Friday 2022, employed every deal-seeking, price-comparing strategy out there...and you haven't scored yourself a new pair of headphones yet? We get it: Normally it’s pretty tough to find a good pair of headphones from a great brand at a stellar price. But not today. These ridiculously popular — we're talking 13,000+ flawless ratings — wireless Sony Noise-Cancelling Headphones are on sale for $68, or $80 off!
Best of all, this is just about the wallet-friendliest way to get premium noise cancelling — i.e., Sony’s Dual Noise Sensor Technology that blocks out nearly all background and ambient sound. Gone are the days of air conditioner humming and washing machine tumbling encroaching on your jams; from here on it’ll just be you and your music.
"The Sony headphones are perfect. They sync easily and the sound is clear," raved a five-star reviewer. "The noise-cancelling feature is great and often annoys my wife and kids when I can't hear them. [How's that for a fringe benefit?]. These are very comfortable, and I haven't had an issue with the ear pads (keeps the ears warm during the cold winter months). The charging is quick and the battery life is very good."
Sony’s Touch Sensor controls make it easy to play, pause, skip tracks, control volume and more with just a tap or swipe on the right ear cup. You can even answer calls with a tap when paired to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
If you’re looking for a great pair of brand-name wireless noise-cancelling headphones, the Sonys are a great midrange pick. They come in black and blue — the latter is exclusive to Amazon — and have a battery life of up to 35 hours. Says a fan: "Great rich sound. Snug and comfortable. Excellent for what I required — tune out the world and get stuff done without disturbing people with my music or even TV audio..."
"I love these headphones," shared another satisfied Amazon shopper. "The sound quality is great, the app lets you set your own levels or use a variety of presets, the battery life is amazing and, paired with a good case, you can't beat them for the money. In my opinion, they sound way better than Beats and at the lower price the noise cancelation is close to the Bose.... If you are budget-minded like I am, you will appreciate these headphones."
More of an earbuds person? Amazon has also slashed 40% off Sony's WF-C500 Truly Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earbuds — they're only $42 for Black Friday.
