Here are the best deals around at the moment, sampled from headphones previously featured by IndyBest.

Noise-cancelling headphones deals

Bose QuietComfort 35 II

The first version of Quiet Comfort 35 headphones from Bose were chosen as one of our Best Buys when they first appeared. Now, the second edition is out and now these headphones have a dedicated button to activate Google Assistant to control music playback from your smartphone (Apple or Android) with your voice. The audio quality is unchanged from the first version, as is the price, £330. Right now, though, you can snag a pair for £279. Available in black or silver.

Sony MDR-1000X

Sony’s noise-cancellers are amazing value right now, and continue to offer a great balance of strong audio and neat features ideal for inflight use: cover the right headphone with your hand and your music playback plus the noise-cancelling cuts out, making it much easier to hear whether you’ve just been offered chicken or beef.

Currently, they’re reduced from the original £360 sticker price to just £229.97 – a whacking £130 off the original price and still £30 less than the reduced price some stores have recently offered these cans for.
