An immersive listening experience is undoubtedly achieved with headphones, and if you want absolutely nothing to get in between you and your sound, it is best to seek wireless options with noise cancellation. While these types of headphones aren’t usually budget friendly, Amazon has got a deal that lets you save $139 on the Sennheiser PXC 550 . Usually priced at $350, you can get a pair from a trusted brand and cut through all the noise with no strings attached for just $211. You also stand a chance to get another $50 slashed off the sale price with an approved Amazon Rewards Visa card.

The PXC 550 is one of Sennheiser’s top-of-the-line models of headsets geared for business travelers and boasting the best noise cancellation with NoiseGard. You’ll instantly be able to tune out unwanted ambient sound as soon as you pop these on whether you’re in flight, in transit, or in the midst of a busy neighborhood. They also pack a multi-layered sound with a rich bass that naturally reverberates through the upper register while instrument remain very distinct. Vocal clarity alone is uncompromised with a tripleill-microphone setup that ensures clear and crisp conversations on either end.

Downloading the CapTune App on your iOS or Android device will enable you to make personalizations to Sennheiser’s signature sound through a variety of modes as you are able to stream music directly onto the PXC 550. Wireless freedom is possible with Bluetooth 4.2 technology and NFC for seamless pairing. It is all further supported with intuitive controls located on the right earcup, including your Bluetooth toggle, noise-canceling settings (off, light, and heavy), and a touchpad for playback and calls.

While Sennheiser claims the PXC 550 can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, our review suggests that 20 hours is more realistic when you’re tuned in wirelessly with active-noise canceling employed. Either way, you’ll have enough juice for a whole day and on the off chance that ‘s not enough, you can opt for a passive listening experience with the provision of an audio cable and port.

It flaunts a sleek and streamlined design that simply matches up in terms of style and function no matter the setting, with a monochromatic black-matte finish embellished with chrome accents. To ensure lasting comfort and a truly snug fit, its all-plastic construction makes it lightweight at just 227 grams even with thick leather padding on both the adjustable headband and earcups. The collapsible frame does not only make it easier to stow away in the included travel case but also allows you to switch it on as you unfold or off when you fold its earcups flat.

Be in control of your sensory environment and get the most bang for your buck when you order the Sennheiser PXC 550 for $139 less on Amazon.

Sony and Apple have been battling it out at the top of the headphone market for quite a while now, with both the AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000Xm4 being excellent contenders for some of the best headphones out there. That was until Sony came out with the WH-1000XM5, which probably has the best noise canceling in the industry and audio fidelity equal to the AirPods Max. Of course, being at the top does mean it costs a pretty penny, so if you're thinking of grabbing the XM5, then you'll want to grab some good headphone deals, and while there aren't a ton out there, the one below is pretty good.

For a long time, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones were at the top of the game regarding consumer audio and active noise cancellation technology. Well, it's time for them to move over because their successor, the Sony WH-1000XM5, have taken the crown of best headphones. And right now you can take advantage of some great Cyber Monday deals, like this one from Best Buy, bringing the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones down to $348 from $400. That's pretty good discount for new high-end headphones.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones
It's hard to know where to start with the Sony WH-1000XM5, but the audio seems like a good idea, and we're happy to say that even though they have smaller drivers, the audio fidelity is better than the XM4. Of course, at this end of the scale, a lot of it is subjective, but the truth is that there's an overall finer and more subtle sound than the XM4. Bass response is also rather excellent without being too overwhelming to the whole soundstage. That means the overall tuning is more flat and likely to appeal to more folks, whereas if you prefer something bass-heavy and punchy, you might still prefer the XM4.
