When people ask me to recommend them a pair of cheap but quality earbuds, the Sony WF-C700N are usually my go-to answer. Our five-star review here at TechRadar also hailed them as the best budget earbuds you can buy for the mix of sound quality, noise cancellation power and comfort.
I’ve seen them for a few bucks cheaper in the past but the difference from today’s offer at Best Buy is fairly negligible. And you’ve always got the retailer’s Price Match Guarantee if they do get cheaper over the coming weeks

What’s a Black Friday sale without a price cut on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K? As the name suggests, this version of the ever-popular streaming stick allows you to watch content in high-quality 4K resolution on your TV from all the big-name streaming apps such as Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and more.
The previous version of this model has been cheaper in the past, but there’s little chance of seeing an offer like that again given it’s been discontinued in favour of this shiny new version. Nevertheless, this is a record-low price and matches the offer that was available to Prime members back in July.

This HP Victus seems ridiculously cheap for a gaming laptop after a huge $370 discount in the Best Buy Black Friday sale. What’s clear, though, is that it’s definitely on the lower end of the scale when it comes to power.
However, if you just need an entry-level device that’s capable of playing popular and undemanding titles like Fortnite in 1080p – and then substituting it in as a work laptop when you aren’t gaming – then this is a really smart and affordable buy.

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. And now these offers are coming earlier than ever before, too.This brand-new version of the MacBook Air M2 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 at Best Buy – but that’s Black Friday for you.
Even though a newer M3 version is available, we concluded that this is still one of the best laptops you can buy in our MacBook Air M2 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.

Among all of the more pricey and premium TVs in the Best Buy sale are a handful of more affordable and budget-friendly big-screen options. One of these is the massive Samsung DU6950 75-inch 4K TV which is currently $200 off in an early doorbuster deal.
Now, while it doesn’t have the same picture quality as a high-end OLED TV, it’s still a solid and sizeable option from a respected manufacturer should you need a display for your general everyday viewing.

Undoubtedly the main highlight of the Best Buy Black Friday sale so far is this huge $270 discount on the brand-new Dyson Digital Slim Vacuum Cleaner.
As you probably know, Dyson makes some of the best vacuum cleaners in the world – and because of that they usually come at a premium price. So, the chance to pick up one of these appliances for a little over $200 is an extremely rare sight and one I think is worth taking full advantage of while you can.
As for the specifics of this previously unheard-of model, the specs seem to suggest that it’s similar to the entry-level Dyson V8 in terms of power and performance. It’s a fairly basic vacuum, then, but for general cleaning around the home in a pet-free home this is more than up to the task – and at a great budget-friendly price when it comes to Dyson.

If you’re looking for the cheapest OLED TV ahead of Black Friday, Best Buy has LG’s excellent 48-inch B4 OLED TV on sale for $599.99 – an incredible price for an OLED display.
LG’s B4 self-lit OLED pixels and Dolby Vision together enhance color and contrast beyond what the average backlit TV can do. Its built-in gaming features and 120Hz refresh rate make it an unbeatable deal for gamers looking for an upgrade.

Last Black Friday I bought the Samsung S90C, which our pros here at TechRadar still believe to be one of the best TVs in the world right now. Sad news: that model has now been discontinued and very little stock is available. Good news: the Samsung S90D is now available and is the successor to that TV – and it’s now down to a record-low price.
Given the S90D shares many of the same features and qualities as the S90C, it really is a TV that does it all. It provides an excellent picture, brilliant gaming performance, and even decent built-in sound – though I was quick to add a soundbar to take advantage of Samsung’s Symphony feature. If you’re an avid movie watcher or gamer, this is going to make everything look fantastic.

Here’s a recommendation for some tech that I own. I’m wearing a pair of Bose QuietComfort Headphones as I type this.
They’ve been my long and essential companion for work, commuting and flying for a long time now. I love them for the excellent audio quality and impressive noise cancellation (the number of times I’ve missed deliveries wearing these is too many to count).
And now these excellent cans are down to a record-low price in the Best Buy Black Friday sale.
If you want to upgrade to the manufacturer’s premium offering, you can also save $100 on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. I haven’t used these but they are near-perfect according to our review, with even better noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, a slick design and rich sound.

I’ve had a Surface Pro since the sixth iteration of the laptop/tablet hybrid and I think it’s been one of the best devices I’ve ever owned. It’s been an equally capable and portable laptop for general use and work, with the added convenience of a touchscreen for easier browsing and navigating apps.
The lineup has gone through a few struggles since then, but it’s back on top form with the latest Surface Pro 11, which you can now get for $899.99 at Best Buy. This configuration has a powerful and efficient Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Apple’s best-selling 10.2 iPad dropped to $199.99 during Prime Day, and Best Buy has brought this excellent deal back ahead of Black Friday.
While the tablet is an older model, it still packs a 10.2-inch Retina display, and the A13 Bionic chip ensures excellent picture quality and superior performance. If you’re looking for an entry-level tablet, you aren’t going to get much better than today’s deal on the 10.2 iPad at Best Buy.

I’ve included some of these in my editor’s picks up top, but here’s a full list of the first set of doorbuster deals Best Buy has already confirmed are set to go live when the clock ticks past midnight. Chances are there will be more than this once the sale starts so if I uncover anything else that worth you’re attention I’ll give them a shoutout here.
It’s important to note that there could be a period of early access for My Best Buy members for the retailer’s Black Friday event. In the past that means you can buy these highlighted deals for a brief period of a few hours before every one else.
It’s a nice perk if you’re already signed up, and could mean you avoid the risk of a popular item selling out, but the majority of these should last for a good while tomorrow. The only ones I think are at risk of going out of stock are the Dyson, the MacBook and the LG OLED TV. Otherwise, you should be absolutely fine!
Hey there! Glad to have you with me in the build-up to this year’s Best Buy Black Friday sale. The retailer has had dozens of early offers throughout November and is set to launch its main event at midnight with a wave of new offers to properly kick off the Black Friday deals season.
I’ve spent almost a decade covering the Black Friday sales as a deals editor for TechRadar, and at other technology and gaming sites, so I’ve got an unhealthy amount of experience hunting for the best offers from these events. That includes an uncanny ability to recall previous record-low prices on popular tech products to ensure you’re paying the lowest possible price and scoring a bargain on everything that I think is worth buying right now.
You can stick with me for even more recommendations over the next few hours from all early deals already live at Best Buy. After that, I’ll keep you updated with the latest offers added when the sale fully starts at midnight on November 21.
I’ll also share insights from the wider team of experts at TechRadar who have almost 200,000 hours of testing and have written over 16,000 reviews of products in their areas of specialisation. Basically, I’ll bring you only the top Best Buy Black Friday deals on all highly-rated products and bargain tech as and when I see them.
