It is time for The Last Word Gadget Show, the annual radio event celebrating technology deals galore.

First Matt and the contributors looked at televisions, speakers, headphones and soundbars.

The New Sony XM4 Noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones are Andy's pick in the headphones department. The noise-cancelling is superb and they have been described by our panel as ''the closest thing to perfect an over-ear headphone can be''. This pair is excellent for calls and they are foldable so can be easily stored.

These retail at €299.

In the Health and lifestyle segment of the gadget show, the contributors focussed Kindles, Fitbits, e-scooters, smartphones and air purifiers. Today FM's Alison Healy was reviewing and praising the Fitbit Sense which retails at €239 for Black Friday.
