From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sony WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling wireless headphones: Was £330, now £197.99, Amazon.co.uk

Featuring in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones, our reviewer said this pair from Sony “sound amazing and have a lively, effective noise-cancellation that’s inviting and attractive”.

They added that they also beat top-rated brand Bose for overall sound quality, even when noise cancelling was turned off. “They are almost exactly the same weight as the Bose, too, which is part of why they feel so comfy to wear. Sony’s transparency mode is achieved by touching an earcup, which is easier than removing the headphones, even if the other person doesn’t know you can suddenly hear them perfectly,” our tester wrote.

The headphones also have a battery life of 30 hours and can be quick-charged, so you’ll never without them.
