Best headphones deal: Sony WH-CH520 headphones for $38 at Amazon

SAVE $31.99: As of Dec. 23, the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are on sale for just $38 at Amazon. That's 46% off their current list price of $69.99 and only $5 shy of their best price ever.

They may be the most basic headphones in Sony's lineup, but the WH-CH520s are still pretty great — especially when they're on sale.

As of Dec. 23, the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are down to just $38 from $69.99. That's 46% in savings and only $5 shy of their best price ever on record.

At under $40, these aren't going to match the depth of sound of Sony's WH-1000XM6 headphones, but they're still more impressive than their price tag lets on. As our reviewer noted, the WH-CH520s "surpass expectations by delivering broad connectivity, energetic sound, and longer playtimes than most luxury models."

Standout features include up to 50 hours of battery life, a three-minute fast-charge option, multipoint connectivity, customizable EQ, hands-free calling, and a lightweight design. You can even make your own sound profiles in the app to match the genre you're listening to.

If you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles that come with top-of-the-line headphones, you can save a bunch of money by opting for a more basic pair like the Sony WH-CH520s. As Mashable reviewer Alex Bracetti said, "They are arguably the best headphones under $100, easily the best headphones under $50, and a must-own for budget-conscious shoppers who want affordable Sony cans at a ridiculously low price."

The good news is every color option is currently down to just $38. The bad news is they won't arrive before Christmas.
