Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

If you’re in the market for some wireless earphones, or they’re on your Christmas shopping list, we’ve found a great deal in Amazon’s Black Friday sale.

The Sony WF-C500 is a pair of wireless earphones with a claimed 20 hours of battery life, compatibility with smartphone voice assistants, and colour options of black, white and green, all of which have been reduced to almost half-price.

Black Friday is a great time to buy discounted tech products such as wireless earphones. While the big day itself isn’t until 25 November this year, many retailers kicked off their Black Friday sales earlier than ever, with some cutting prices at the start of the month.

As well as wireless earphones, Black Friday deals include money off game consoles such as the Xbox series S (£189.99, Amazon.co.uk), plus products from brands such as Apple, Dyson, Shark, LG and Nintendo, among many others.

Designed to slip snugly into your ears, the WF-C500 earphones come with a compact charging case that tops up their battery when stored inside. The case charges the earphones quickly enough to produce 10 hours of battery life in just 10 minutes, Sony says.

These Sony earphones appeared in our guide to the best budget headphones of 2022, where they ranked best for sound quality and earned a score of 8/10. Our reviewer said: “Two things make these earbuds a recommended buy for some people: how good they sound and how comfortable they feel in your ears.”

The earphones feature IPX4 water-resistance, so can be used while running in the rain or working up a sweat in the gym, and the voice control system works with Google Assistant and Siri. These earphones lack active noise cancelling, but a selection of rubber tips should ensure a good fit that blocks out plenty of background noise.
