Sennheiser HD 250BT £60 £38 at Amazon (save £22) (opens in new tab)
We didn't think these superb budget wireless on-ears could get any cheaper – but here we are! Don't expect luxury flourishes, but they nail the basics. They sound great for the money and have Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX Low Latency support, a 25-hour battery life, plus app support that brings EQ customisation onboard. Five stars.

The fantastic, five-star true wireless earbuds combine brilliant noise-cancelling tech with natural, dynamic sound. They're worthy challengers to the AirPods Pro – especially at this heavily discounted price.

Sony WH-1000XM3 ANC headphones (opens in new tab)£300 £219 at Amazon (save £81) (opens in new tab)
The XM3 aren't the latest Sony wireless noise-cancelling headphones, but they remain impressive across the board and their price is only getting lower. They produce a wonderfully musical and detailed sound, too.

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ £120 £90 (save £30) (opens in new tab)
Detailed and insightful sound, reliable Bluetooth, long battery life, and an extra discount. These are great wireless earbuds now available at an even lower price.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 £350 £208 at Amazon (save £141) (opens in new tab)
The 2019-released 700 are Bose's most premium headphones. Noise-cancelling is best in class, comfort and aesthetics are spot-on, and sonics are decent. This huge price drop applies to the black colourway only.

Sony WF-1000XM3 £230 £115 at Amazon (save £115) (opens in new tab)
The 2019 Sony WF-1000XM3 have been trumped by the XM4 buds, but they combine effective active noise-cancelling with great sound. And they're down to a super-low price.

Boasting impressive musicality and excellent levels of detail and insight, these comfortable, sporty earbuds are well worth the investment. The new WF-C500 feature 20 hours of battery life, IPX4 splash resistance and Bluetooth 5.0, and are available in black, white, orange and blue. Five stars

Apple AirPods 3 £169 £157 at Amazon (save £12) (opens in new tab)
Apple's latest AirPods edge one step closer to the AirPods Pro, with shorter stems and the inclusion of spatial audio. You'll need to step up to the premium Pro (opens in new tab) model for noise-cancelling, but if you don't mind not having that feature, these are great value Apple earbuds.

Shure Aonic 50: £380 £238 at Amazon (save £142) (opens in new tab)
A very solid first attempt at a pair of wireless noise-canceling headphones by Shure. They aren't quite as engaging as the Sony and Sennheiser class leaders, but they do offer outstanding levels of detail, a clear and clean delivery and solid bass – and are now much cheaper.
