Here’s something most deals roundups won’t offer: a full review of the discounted product, written by the curator of the piece. But that’s what I’m giving you – because this is my full-time job (I know right? Crazy what they’ll pay people to do these days… ) and even if I do say so myself, I know great audio kit.
Whatever you do this Black Friday, please don’t read this missive, click through to Amazon, get sidetracked by savings and buy a set that neither myself nor the wider TechRadar team has mentioned or reviewed to date, because the discount was huge and you reckon they’re probably the same. Or, if you do, just don’t don’t come to me about it. Because these deals (and only these deals) are the ones I’ve reviewed, tested, and recommended to you.
Best early Black Friday deals
CMF Headphone Pro
These just came out – and I mean just, because I only just finished my fully star-rated CMF Headphone Pro review. And for this money (under £50!) they’re an insanely good deal. I don’t need to insult your intelligence by telling you it’s the first time they’ve ever been discounted (see the first sentence of this deal block) but I do need you to know that I’ve heard them and for this money, the ‘Energy slider’, the excellent on-ear volume wheel and Nothing’s phenomenal hearing tests (to create one of the most detailed personal sound profiles I’ve heard at the level) make this a top deal. Highly recommended.
Nothing Ear (a)
My five-star Nothing Ear (a) review is the place for the full scoop on the fun, energetic sound of these buds, but know that they have great noise cancellation, a compact design, and a truly eye-catching look – especially in my favourite yellow colour (also in the deal at the time of writing). This is a record-low price for them, and there are simply no better earbuds you can buy for under £60.
Sony WF-C710N
Yes, you can get Sony’s newest affordable wireless earbuds for less than £75 in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale – talk about a bargain! This is £5 cheaper than they were during the last big sales event (Amazon Big Deal Days) and for this money, you’re getting Sony quality for non-brand money.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
OK so not a 2025-release product (and they have been superseded by the excellent XM6 iteration) but if you’ve been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but have been put off by the admittedly high price tag (I’ve listed their original RRP, although they’ve been hovering around £259 for a little while) today’s your lucky day. These premium headphones have just dropped below £200 and for that money, they’re an excellent buy
JLab JBuds Lux ANC
I helped compile a full review of these headphones and while they’re not sonically perfect (the sound is a little bass-heavy – but maybe you like that kind of presentation), for this ultra-low fee the audio is much better than it’s any right to be. Also, the build feels far more premium than the deal suggests and the battery life (at up to 70 hours, or 44 with ANC deployed) is unheard of for the level.
