Cyber Monday is here - and it's one of our favourite days of the year for grabbing a stellar deal on a new pair of headphones.

Several members of the Louder team have been holding out for Cyber Monday to pick up a new set of headphones - and we were immediately impressed with an $100 saving on the excellent Sennheiser Momentum 4 wireless headphones. Best Buy have cut the price from £379.99 to $279.99. The sale covers these adaptive noise cancelling headphones in either black or white - while you can save even more because the denim colour variation reduced down even further from $399.99 to $249.99.

And if you're in the UK and after a new pair of in-ears, then Amazon have knocked the price of the fabulous Sony WF-1000XM5 down from £259 to £219 - a pair of noise cancelling earbuds that we gave five-stars to in our review earlier this year.

We're updating this page constantly with all the latest Cyber Monday headphone deals, so keep us bookmarked for more great prices.

When do the Cyber Monday headphone deals start?

As always, Cyber Monday takes place the following Monday after Black Friday and that means it'll take place on November 27 this year. That's the day when you can expect to see the majority of Cyber Monday headphones deals begin to roll in.

And while the Cyber Monday headphones deals will take centre stage on this page, expect significant price drops right the way through that week. We'll be keeping our eyes open for all the best deals and bringing them to you right here when we see them.

What headphones deals can I expect?

If previous years are anything to go by, then we have a pretty good idea at the brands you're likely to see discounted this Cyber Monday. In the past we've seen headphones by Sony, Bose, Apple, JBL, Marshall, Sennheiser, Skullcandy, Bowers & Wilkins, Philips, Beats and Samsung have their prices slashed.

And with so many manufacturers updating their core range of headphones, we could see big savings on older models along with money off the most up-to-date headphones. We'll be all over the best deals and will publish our favourites right here and on our Cyber Monday music deals guide.

How to prepare for Cyber Monday

Putting things in place to make your Cyber Monday experience go smoother is always a good thing, so we've got a few tips to make your shopping trip a little easier.

1. Make a list: Like many people, I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones this Cyber Monday, so I've been writing down several models I'm interested in - just so I don't forget. Some online retailers also have a list function built into their sites, and these really come into their own on and around Cyber Monday. It's also a great way to see at a glance how much you'll be saving once the price drops are in full swing.

2. Sell older products: If you've got your heart set on a new pair of headphones, then it might be an idea to sell off your older models in advance. This could net you some money ahead of the Cyber Monday headphones deals and will lessen the blow to your wallet.

3. Don't forget refurbished models: Grabbing the very latest headphones might be tempting, but sometimes the costs involved can be pretty high. With this in mind, many online retailers offer refurbished models for a great price - and the cost of some of these can even be knocked down around Cyber Monday. Check the sites to see if you can get your hands on refurb headphones before adding the brand new ones to your basket.

4. Older doesn't mean worse: Audio firms are always upgrading their core range of headphones, but stop and consider if the latest model is really worth it over previous versions. Check the specs to see what extras you're getting for your money and take note how two different models from the same company compare.

How we choose products

We review a lot of headphones at Louder and we put them through their paces by testing them while listening to a variety of bands spanning a bunch of musical genres including rock, metal, prog, alternative, punk, jazz and pop. We often test them side by side with other models to see how they stack up and we always have our ears open to how they perform, how comfy they are and if they offer good value for money. As a result, we simply won't recommend some models if they don't come up to scratch.

Why you can trust us

At Louder, we’ve been covering big sales events such as Cyber Monday, Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day for a number of years and have created dozens of buyer's guides and reviews which have been compiled by our team of experts and enthusiasts.

We don't test headphones in a studio or custom-built music room - we test headphones when we're out and about: on the streets, out on evening runs, in the gym, in our living rooms and on public transport. We feel this gives a more accurate representation at how headphones perform out in the world.

We also give pros and cons for products in our buyer’s guides, while all our headphones reviews feature a couple of alternative options to give you as much choice as possible.
