A good pair of headphones can massively improve your day. After all, being able to get lost in your music, whether you're travelling or working, can really help your mood.

If you want one of our favorites, then you'll want to get the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. They're currently down to just $268 thanks to a general saving and a coupon that's automatically applied. But the deal's only on for today, so move quickly or you'll miss out.

In his review, CNET's audio expert David Carnoy praised the refined sound and excellent ANC of the Sonys, as well as the best-in-class voice call quality and ability to pair to two devices at once. He also praised their comfort for longer listening sessions, and with a battery life of up to 32 hours, they won't be running out on you quickly.
