Labor Day in the US is always accompanied by deals across the board through some of the biggest online retailers around - and this year is no different, with massive savings going on across the wide world of music.

I’ve picked out some of my favourite bargains, including money off the brilliant Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones which are down from $399.99 to $348 at Amazon. These are a step up from the previous model, offering best in-class noise cancelling, beautifully balanced sound and a comfortable fit. 

Check below for a selection of my favourite Labor Day music deals - including more headphones, an awesome Metallica box set, a cracking Marshall Bluetooth speaker, an Iron Maiden Funko set and more.
