If you’re looking for a pair of over-headphones that sound great and are super comfortable, look no further than Sony’s WH-1000XM5. These class-leading headphones scored five stars in our review and are down to just $298 (originally $399) on Amazon.
These headphones simply don’t disappoint, with an adjustable EQ for music playback and excellent noise cancellation to let you focus. You even get your pick of color, as the WH-1000XM5 come in Smoky Pink, Silver, Black, or Midnight Blue.

If you’re anything like us, making coffee is a regular occurrence for you, and a Nespresso countertop machine can be a lifesaver. Especially on longer work days like Black Friday.
Right now, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus Deluxe is down to just $99 for a limited time on Amazon. It can brew three sizes – 5, 8, and 12 ounces – in under a minute, and you’ll find Nespresso’s signature foam up top. One of the best benefits here, though, is that it’s pretty compact in size and has a 25-ounce water reservoir.

This might be the best deal of Black Friday, even if it started a little earlier – Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are just $154 (originally $249) on Amazon. That’s not just a $95 discount on an Apple product, but these are some of the best true wireless earbuds on the market, earning four-and-a-half stars in our review.
You’ll get excellent playback for any genre of music and three class-leading listening modes: active noise cancellation, transparency, and adaptive audio. Plus, you’ll get the full suite of new hearing protection features from Apple.

In the world of smart speakers, Amazon is pretty ubiquitous because of its Echo lineup. The entry point is the pint-sized Echo Pop, which presents itself as a half circle in various fun colors.
It gives instant, hands-free access to Alexa for topical questions and even controlling your smart home, but it really shines as a simple way to add music to any space. Furthermore, for Black Friday, it’s returned to the lowest price ever at just $17.99 (originally $39.99) at Amazon.

If you’ve been eyeing an Apple Watch, you really can’t go wrong with this one. The Apple Watch SE, second-generation in either the 40mm or 42mm size with GPS connectivity, is down to the lowest price ever on Amazon.
With either of these, you get a classic Apple Watch experience, which is still getting the latest watchOS updates with a screen that will illuminate when you raise your wrist or a notification comes through. It’s also sweat and water-resistant with all-day battery life and health features like heart rate and sleep tracking. The 40mm Apple Watch SE is just $149 (originally $249), and the 42mm is down to $199 (originally $279) at Amazon.

If you want a Bluetooth speaker that delivers bold, rich sound and is plenty portable, this is the deal for you. The Sonos Roam 2 is down to the record-low price of $139, a sharp 22% discount off the $179 MSRP.
In TechRadar’s review, the Roam 2 scored four-and-a-half stars, and we wrote that it “delivers rich and clear sound reproduction that shows off every element of a track” and is plenty intuitive. That is important for any speaker, but even more so for one that connects over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It also works with the broader Sonos ecosystem and can be grouped with other speakers like the Era 100 or Move 2, and it’s a winning recipe.

This is the best price you’ll find on an Apple MacBook, and I’m shocked it’s still in stock. Walmart is the only retailer that still has the M1 model for sale, and at just $599, it’s an absolute steal. And what’s more, it’s been available for several days now and hasn’t sold out. Get it before it does!
While the MacBook Air M1 is an older model (released in 2021), the 13-inch laptop still packs Apple’s powerful M1 chip, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and up to 18 hours of battery life.

Deals on Amazon’s Kindle e-readers have always been a popular fixture in the annual Black Friday sales but decent price cuts have been rare this year. That is, of course, until we spotted this record-low price on the latest 2024 model, which has now been around for a few days.
At $85, this one is a pretty damn cheap buy considering it’s one of the best e-readers on the market and all you need to get started. New features for this model include a brighter display and six-week battery life that’s perfect for taking on long trips, although it does lack a few of the bells and whistles of the higher-end Paperwhite models.

It’s not often that you can save on one of the most iconic TVs, but Black Friday is serving up a mega discount on Samsung’s The Frame TV. In fact, you can save up to $1,300 on the 2024 model of the Frame TV, which displays famous works of art or photos when off instead of just powering down to a typical black screen.
Adding to that, the 4K QLED screen is finished with a reflection-blocking coating and Samsung’s Tizen smart interface, and you’re getting a very well-rounded TV. To get the total $1,300 discount, you’ll need to opt for the 85-inch Frame TV, which is much more affordable at $2,999.99 (originally $4,299.99). We think most folks will be best served by the 65-inch Frame TV, which is down to just $1,299.99 (originally $1,999.99) after an instant $700 discount.

Fancy trying out a new streaming service or returning to an old favorite to catch up on the latest shows you’ve missed. Well, would you look at that, there are huge new and returning subscriber offers for the likes of Hulu, Max, Disney Plus and Paramount Plus this Black Friday.
For me, I’d be looking at Max as I’m yet to watch The Penguin, House of the Dragon or Dune Prophecy. That service has slashed the price of its Standard with ads plan to a measly $2.99 a month for six months. More than enough time for me to get through those three shows and lots more!
There have been some fantastic deals on Apple tech over the last few months as it looks like the manufacturer has fully embraced larger discounts on its popular products. This brand-new version of the MacBook Air M3 with a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM only launched a few weeks ago so I’m surprised to see it’s already got a significant discount – but that’s Black Friday for you.
We concluded that this is one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M3 review, thanks to the stylish design, clear display, impressive performance, and long 18-hour battery life. For those needing a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing and more intense workloads, this is a stellar offer on an Apple machine right now.

I’ve had a Surface Pro since the sixth iteration of the laptop/tablet hybrid and I’d happily recommend it to anyone interest. It’s a superb device that’s equally as capable as a laptop for tablet with the added convenience of a touchscreen for easier browsing and navigating apps.
The series has often had its struggles but the latest Surface Pro 11 is easily one of the best iterations yet. This configuration has a powerful and efficient Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD – all for a record-low price of $899 at Best Buy.

When I first saw this $220 price cut on the Dyson Digital Slim when it launched as part of Best Buy’s doorbuster deals earlier in the month I thought it was too good to be true. It’s almost unheard of to get a Dyson vacuum for under $250 but trust the Black Friday sales to shatter all expectations and throw up what I think is one of this year’s best-ever deals.
The Dyson Digital Slim has only just been released so we haven’t had an opportunity to test it ourselves, but the specs put it on a similar level to the Dyson V8, which is a solid all-around vacuum for most pet-free homes. That makes the entry-level vacuum a huge steal over Black Friday.

If you want to know what’s caught my eye so far and already proving popular with our readers, is Hulu for $0.99 per month for a whole year. That’s a massive saving of almost $100 on your membership or the top streaming service.
Good morning and I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving. If you’re settling in for a chilled day then I’m here to bring some calm to the Black Friday chaos by searching through the sales and hand-picking the very best Black Friday deals.
As someone who’s covered Black Friday for nearly ten years now, I’ve seen that this one has been the longest so far with many sales kicking off at the start of November and running all through the month. That means many deals have already been live for some time, but you can still score some excellent bargains on a whole host of top-rated tech.
I’ve picked out some of the best Black Friday sales for you to browse through right here, as well as the headline deals from the retailers you don’t want to miss.
I’ll continue adding more today and across the weekend as the event rumbles on. I’ll also share individual deals recommended by TechRadar’s team of expert reviewers on products such as laptops, TVs, headphones, vacuums, and more that they’ve tested and think are worth buying this Black Friday.
