Our wellbeing is scientifically proven to drop by as much as 16% when we experience the festive shopping chaos.
Experts recommended taking regular breaks, listening to music and blocking out the noise with headphones.
Patrick Fagan, behavioural science expert at Goldsmiths University said: ''As a nation, a staggering 88% don't wear headphones when out shopping; however, wearing such tech appears to increase happiness and feelings of wellbeing and can provide a simple solution during this stressful time.''
Meanwhile, Sony's WH-1000XM3 headphones benefit from a newly developed HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1.
Claire Poux, Head of Sound, UK & Ireland at Sony comments: ''Our WH-1000XM3 headphones give shoppers the opportunity to experience our industry leading noise cancelling headphones, allowing them to cut out the chaos surrounding them on the high street this Christmas''.
