These Beats headphones are heavily discounted this Cyber Monday – but you can do better

Ok, £251 off a pair of cans which started life at £350 is a massive, massive saving, so we wouldn't be completely opposed to you snapping up the Beats Studio Pro. They're well appointed with features, are nicely made and, at £99 rather than £350, sound pretty decent. Stocks are running dry, so other finishes which aren't black may set you back £150 instead. Still not bad, to be fair.

Yep, the Sony WH-1000XM4 are still going strong. They're now two generations out of date, but we feel they're a far more interesting sonic proposition than the Beats Studio Pro. There's more spark and musicality here, while their ANC, foldable design, handsome feature set and strong battery life only make them more appealing.

If you're not bothered by a lack of noise cancelling, the Austrian Audio Hi-X25BT are very easy to recommend. They're clean, clear headphones which pull out stunning levels of details, with a bright, peppy personality that only gets better when you listen via USB-C.

For us, the Sony WH-CH720N are the best budget noise cancelling headphones you can buy. They're cheaper and less premium feeling than the Beats, of course, but they sound great, boast very admirable ANC, and are still built to last a good deal of punishment. If value matters to you, they should be on your radar.
