Headphones are one of the top pieces of tech during every sales season, with people hunting both budget pairs that become even more affordable, as well as snapping up premium over-ear cans as they drop into a more wallet-friendly price range. Luckily for you, New Zealand retailers like Noel Leeming and Amazon are dropping some insane headphones deals despite Black Friday still being over a week away.

Well, no matter what you're looking for, there's a delectable discounted pair of headphones for you, covering a complete spectrum of price ranges. We've got the brilliant battery life of the Sennheiser Momentum 4, a 44% saving on our favourite budget headphones and big discounts on Sony's two best offerings – the Sony WH-1000XM4 and their successor. If you're in the market for new headphones – or you're buying them for a loved one this Christmas – check out these early Black Friday deals to save money and time this shopping season.

Save NZ$203.18

We think their design is a little lacking compared to competitors like the Sony XM4s below, but they sit at the top of the list for a reason. We gave them five-stars in our Sennheiser Momentum 4 review, and we think they're among the best headphones money can buy – though that RRP is hard to ignore. This deal does without that niggle though, and you'll get all the detailed and crisp sound, excellent ANC and transparency modes, and competitor-beating 60-hour battery that they offer. The Special Edition is currently discounted the most, but the Pride Edition is also available for only NZ$10 more. We loved them in our review, and this price just beats the lowest price we've ever seen before.

Save NZ$105

While the newer Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones replaced this model – and are well worth considering – that's meant that these incredible headphones have retained all their benefits and got a lot more affordable. In fact, we still think they're the best pair for most people all things considered. Super comfortable, with effective noise-cancellation, stupendous sound and auto play/pause conversation awareness, they're well worth their near NZ$500 price tag. For NZ$344? Well…

While the considerable price difference makes the XM4s easier to recommend, their successor is fantastic. If you prefer the design of the WH-1000XM5, grabbing them at 28% off on PB Tech ain't a bad time to do it.

ave NZ$49.47

If you're looking for quality headphones without spending hundreds (or you don't trust your kid with NZ$300 headphones) we think these are the best budget headphones money can buy at their full NZ$110 price tag. With this deal bringing them down to just NZ$61, they make a great secondary pair for you, a great premium pair for younger listeners, and a fantastic Christmas gift for anyone. It's not just any budget pair of headphones that gets a 4.5-star review.
