Sure, Black Friday is a time to buy Christmas gifts for your nearest and dearest... but it's also a great chance to get yourself something special. And if you love your tunes, and want to take your music listening to the next level, this kit collection is for you. I've picked the best value audiophile headphones, in-ear monitors (IEMs) and desktop and portable headphone digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and amplifiers (AMPs) that you can buy right now.

Some of the kit below feature in my best budget audiophile headphone list, and I've had a play with the DAC/AMPs which really elevate the sound of these headphones and IEMs. The result is incredibly detailed, balanced sound at a fraction of the price of similar performing kit.

Best headphone from $165

Desktop DAC/AMPs from $63

Best IEMs from $27

Portable DAC/AMPs from $110
