A great pair of wireless headphones is a must for anyone who needs to focus on their work, make private calls or zone out during travels. Much of the highest-quality audio gear isn't the cheapest, but early Black Friday deals are bringing down the cost of wireless headphones. That includes this discount on the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones, which are back to down to their all-time low price of $38 at Amazon right now. That means you save $22 on what we consider one of our favorite pairs of headphones. Deals at Amazon tend to come and go quickly, so we suggest acting fast.

Why this deal matters

These headphones were at this all-time low price toward the end of 2023. It's been almost a year since then, and we don't expect this price to stick around for too long. The Sony WH-CH520 headphones include features more common in more expensive headphones. Considering the holiday season, this deal is a great fit for budget-conscious buyers looking for the perfect gift.

According to CNET's David Carnoy, these wireless headphones exceed expectations. "They look and feel a bit cheap, lack noise canceling and are pretty no-frills," he said. "But it turns out they offer good sound for their price, are lightweight and pretty comfortable for on-ear headphones, and also have excellent battery life. They're rated for up to 50 hours at moderate volume levels. Additionally, they're equipped with multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair them with two devices simultaneously."

To adjust sound preferences on the Sony WH-CH520 headphones, all you have to do is download the Sony Headphones Connect app and experiment with custom settings.

The blue headphones are only $2 off right now.
