Black Friday is looming large on the horizon, promising big discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, speakers, and just about everything else. It's the single best time of the year to shop, with deals on offer from all the leading retailers.

Sony's WH-1000XM5 are some of the best headphones that money can buy. They're supremely comfortable thanks to their very light weight, and they have a wide, rich sound profile that everyone is going to love. Battery life is good too at 30 hours — and with $100 off in this Black Friday deal, they're very close to their lowest price ever.

The holiday season is officially here, which means it's time to start thinking about gifts. But it's also the time when most things are actually on sale, so those purchases might not end up being too painful.
