Good news, bargain hunters and lovers of excellent (and convenient) audio: the Award-winning Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless earbuds have dropped to one of their lowest prices ever.

At several retailers, including Amazon, Crutchfield, World Wide Stereo and Adorama, the ever-popular and still class-leading Sony earbuds are just $178 – down from their original retail price of $230.

This Sony WF-1000XM3 deal - one of the best we've ever seen - means you can now save 22 per cent on our favourite true wireless buds, which offer noise-cancelling technology, great sound quality and bags of battery life.

As we noted in our Sony WF-1000XM3 review, the five-star buds "raise the bar, combining effective active noise-cancelling with a real sense of musicality". Both colours – black and silver – are reduced, although the silver version is a few dollars more.

As well as the superb noise-cancelling, complete with a handy ambient mode, you get Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and excellent battery life (6 hours in the buds, plus another 18 hours via the included charging case). Unless you've got a very long commute, that should be plenty to keep you going.
