  "account": "As the holiday shopping season approaches, savvy consumers are already hunting for early Black Friday deals on headphones and earbuds. While official sales have yet to be announced, several headphones and earbuds deals have already caught my eye as worthy of attention. Based on my experience testing headphones throughout the year and my sixth year of covering Black Friday for Mashable, I've identified 11 deals that provide significant savings on quality audio products.\n\nFirst up is the Sony WH-CH720N, currently priced at $88 on Amazon, down from $179.99. These headphones offer impressive active noise cancellation and sound quality that rivals flagship models. Although some features like Quick Attention and hi-res LDAC codec support are missing, they still deliver an excellent all-around headphone experience for under $100.\n\nOther notable deals include the Sony WH-CH520, priced at $38, a $31.99 savings off the original $69.99 price. Sennheiser's Accentum headphones are discounted to $99.95, marking a $90 reduction from $189.95. Shokz's OpenFit earbuds are on sale for $99.99, saving $60 off the original $159.99 price.\n\nAdditional deals worth noting are the Shokz OpenRun Pro earbuds at $109.95, a $70 savings off $179.95; Skullcandy's Method 540 ANC headphones for $119.99, down from $149.99; the Shokz OpenDots One earbuds for $139.95, saving $30 off $169.95; and the Soundcore Sleep A30 Special headphones for $168.99, a $31.99 discount off $199.99. Lastly, Sennheiser's Momentum 4 headphones are available for $213.04, a $86.95 reduction from $299.99, and the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, offering a substantial $171.99 saving off the original $399.99 price.",
