The AirPods Max are Apple’s answer to Sony and Bose, and having used them myself I’d say they’re a very strong competitor. I really like the noise cancelling performance, the Spatial Audio support with dynamic head tracking and sleek design. And right now you can grab these headphones for a less premium price.
Best Buy has the AirPods Max on sale for $449 (opens in new tab), which is a decent $50 off. This ties the low price available at Amazon.
In our AirPods Max review, we praised the easy-to-use controls, crisp and balanced sound and fantastic noise cancellation. We’re just not a fan of the lack of an on/off switch. Overall, though, this is a good price on a great pair of headphones.
Sure, there’s plenty of buzz around the new iPad Pro 2022 and it’s powerful M2 chip, but the iPad Pro 2021 is still a very good tablet. And now is the best time to buy one because you can grab the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th generation) for just $999, which is $200 off the regular price.
In our iPad Pro 2021 review, we praised the mini-LED XDR display, which gets super brights, and the blazing fast M1 chip. We also liked the addition of Center Stage for keeping you in the frame during video calls and 5G support. The battery life is pretty great, too, at close to 11 hours in our testing. So this is easily one of the best tablets around.
Just keep in mind that the Magic Keyboard and the 2nd gen Apple Pencil cost extra. But overall this is a great deal.
Now here’s a deal you may have missed that’s still going strong. Best Buy currently has the Samsung 75-inch TU690T 4K TV on sale for $579 (opens in new tab). That’s $270 off and one of the cheaper big-screen Samsung TVs we’ve ever seen.
You get a 4K panel with USD upscaling, HDR 10 Plus support and Alexa/Google Assistant compatibility. And with AirPlay 2 support built in it’s easy to beam videos and photos to the TV. We’d like to see more than two HDMI ports but overall this is a stellar deal.
Right now, the WD_Black SN850 2TB NVMe SSD w/ heatsink is on sale for $259 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a sizable $100 discount compared to its full retail price of $359, and the lowest ever price we’ve spotted to date. This isn’t the lowest price ever, but it’s still a great deal.
The WD_Black SN850 was confirmed earlier this year as the first officially-licensed PS5 SSD (opens in new tab). This means you can slot the storage drive into your PS5 console without any worries about compatibility issues. The SSD meets all of Sony’s requirements for a PS5 SSD (opens in new tab), and we’ve personally tested the drive in our own PS5 for more than a year and can report that it works flawlessly.
It’s not the newest Surface Pro — that’d be the Surface Pro 9 — but Best Buy’s deal on the Surface Pro 8 significantly reduces the cost of what’s still a pretty good 2-in-1 device.
Specifically, you can save $450 on the Surface Pro 8 (opens in new tab), bringing the cost of the 13-inch tablet down to $899.
The Surface Pro 8 has a vibrant display, and even though it’s an older 2-in-1, it’s still built for Windows 11. You’ll appreciate the 11th gen Intel CPU that makes the Surface Pro 8 great for everyday use.
Black Friday is the best time of year for OLED TV deals, but they can still get pretty expensive, especially if you want a TV with a big screen. Luckily, Best Buy have slashed $600 off the price of this Vizio OLED set.

This system is powered by Apple’s powerful M1 Pro CPU, which delivers 8 more GPU cores, a better Media Engine, and more memory bandwidth than the already fast M1 chip. Based on our testing, the MacBook Pro 14-inch runs circles around most Windows laptops when it comes to performance, and we saw over 14 hours of battery life in our MacBook Pro 14-inch review.
You also get a bright and rich 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED display with 3024 x 1984 resolution. Other specs include 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Add in three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and SDXC card slot — plus MagSafe charging — and you have a winner.

You’ll also be able to make use of Center Stage for video calls, and some excellent speakers that make streaming TV and movies sound amazing. The iPad Pro 2021 (11-inch) is $699 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) right now, the lowest price we’ve seen for Apple’s premium tablet.
Pete Wolinski here, How To and Cameras editor on Tom’s Guide, with a great deal on this Samsung 4K Neo QLED TV at Best Buy, which is currently $400 off in Black Friday sales.
I actually bought the slightly smaller 50″ version of this exact TV just a couple of weeks back and boy am I happy with it. While QLED won’t rival OLED up close, Samsung’s Neo QLED technology results in a super sharp display. I was stepping up from a standard QLED and immediately noticed the difference when running them side by side. Its 120Hz refresh rate is also great for gaming — I like to hook up my gaming PC to the TV for big-screen 4K gaming and the output is super smooth. What blew me away about this TV though was the sound quality. Samsung have loaded this range with powerful speakers, and the result is genuinely like having a sound bar, with big booming bass when watching movies. Take it from me, this is a TV deal to snap up while you can!
Best Buy offers solid savings on gaming laptops all year round, but during Black Friday deals the retailer really kicks things up a notch. And, right now, this Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop is on sale for $999 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) — that’s $500 off its full retail price of $1,499.
This machine comes packing a Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Plus, the 15.6-inch FHD display is bordered by thin bezels and boasts a 165Hz refresh rate with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology for low latency gaming on the go.
The Acer Predator range sports an angular design that some might find a little overpowering, but if you don’t mind its loud aesthetic, you’re getting a pleasantly powerful gaming laptop at a very good price. This is an especially great pickup for anybody looking to enter the world of PC gaming for the first time.
Best Buy is currently offering a range of excellent Black Friday deals under $50, and this discount on the JBL Go 3 Wireless Speaker is one of our favorite discounts that won’t leave your wallet hurting.

In our JBL Go 3 review we said, “While it doesn’t entirely avoid the weaknesses of small, cheap Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Go 3 is an impressive little unit with full waterproofing, plenty of bass and better-than-expected battery life.”

You can save $200 on one of the better robot vacuums now that Best Buy is selling iRobot’s Roomba J7+ for $599 (opens in new tab). This iRobot gadget cleans up well, as you would imagine, but its best feature may be object avoidance. That will be particular welcome for pet owners whose furry friends don’t always leave your floors free of the occasional misplaced poop.
In our Roomba J7+ review, we not only praised the vacuum’s obstacle avoidance capabilities but also its ability to learn from cleaning data. Even better, a self-emptying clean base turns out to be less obtrusive thanks to a redesign.
Looking to take your home movie nights to the next level? The Samsung Freestyle is a 1080p portable projector released earlier this year that’s light enough to take with you anywhere. The best part, the Samsung Freestyle is $599 at Best Buy right now which is $200 of its regular price.

While the original Google Home Mini only shipped in charcoal and chalk, the Nest Mini also comes in sky or coral so you can have your smart speaker blend in with your home or stand out.

If you’re planning to build a smart home or want to expand your current setup, the Nest Mini is an affordable device as well as one of the best smart speakers for any room.
We’re huge fans of Roku devices. And right now the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is on sale for just $24 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s 50% off its full retail price of $49.
This best-in-class streaming stick offers snappy performance, a super clean interface and a comprehensive app store for accessing all the best streaming services. And we really appreciate that Roku has shown restraint when it comes to overcrowding its UI with advertisements and content recommendations.
In our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review we called it “just as great as its predecessor, and offers one big perk over the Roku it replaces: Dolby Vision.” If you’re looking to turn an older TV into a smart one, or simply want to take full advantage of a brand new 4K set, then the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a streaming device we strongly recommend.
Nothing beats OLED TVs for color, perfect blacks and ultra-wide viewing angles. But they tend to be quite pricey. Well, we have good news.

- Sony WF-1000XM4 True Wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones:
$279$178 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The Sony WF-1000XM4 in-ear headphones launched only earlier this year and are now already down to their lowest price ever. This early Black Friday deal brings the price down to $178 for these headphones from $279 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a huge saving of $101 on the best noise-canceling earbuds.
There is a new Sony V1 audio processor in the 1000XM4 that brings exceptional, full-bodied sound and even better active noise cancelation. These buds also take on a completely different and more ergonomic design than its predecessor.
In our Sony WF-1000XM4 review we found that the only deterrent to these excellent buds was its huge price tag. But now since this deal takes off $101 from its price, that is not much of a hinderance. This set of buds offers greater overall functionality than every other model in its price class — in our AirPods Pro 2 vs. Sony WF-1000XM4 comparison, we found that the Sony in-ear headphones even beat Apple’s AirPods Pro 2.
If you’re on the hunt for an Apple laptop but don’t want to pay top dollar, this is a great deal. Right now Best Buy has the MacBook Air M1 on sale for just $799 (opens in new tab). That’s $200 off the regular price and the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

• Madden NFL 23: $69 $39 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Football fans, it’s time for your own 2-minute drill. Best Buy is dropping the price on Madden NFL 23, but the clock runs out on these savings by tomorrow (Nov. 6).
Best Buy’s deal — Madden NFL 23 for $39 instead of the usual $69 — applies to both the Xbox Series X/Series S (opens in new tab) and PS5 versions (opens in new tab) of the venerable football franchise. We found plenty to like about this year’s version of the game in our Madden NFL 23 review, including the production values and the fast load times.
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: $1,799 $399 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 may impress with its foldable screen, but it is not an inexpensive device by any stretch of the imagination. That’s why this Best Buy deal on the foldable phone caught our eye.
At Best Buy, when you activate the phone with Verizon, you can save $400 on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 (opens in new tab). The savings don’t stop there — trade in a device, and you can potentially save up to $1,000 more on the phone.
Best Buy and Verizon are offering a similar deal on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 ($200 off with activation, plus extra savings with a trade-in).
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the more substantial of Samsung’s two foldable phones, essentially letting you tote around a tablet in a smartphone’s form factor. The Z Fold 4 benefits from an optional Galaxy S Pen, which boosts your productivity when it’s time to sketch or edit photos on the expansive screen.
The weekend is here and there’s a fresh batch of new deals to scan. The first one that popped on my radar comes courtesy of Best Buy/Amazon. Both retailers have the GoPro Hero 8 Black 4K on sale for $229. That’s $70 off and the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this Editor’s Choice camera. It’s also a rare sale as this camera hardly ever goes on sale. Although it’s not the latest model, we named the Hero 8 Black one of the best GoPro cameras under $300. In our GoPro Hero 8 Black review, we said it’s worth the investment as it offers solid image stabilization, great video/audio quality, and a clean interface. Take note: this deal is valid through November 7 only. (I told you it was a rare discount).
The Moto G Power (2021) is one of the reigning champs when it comes to smartphone battery life. In our tests, it lasted an average of 14 hours and 4 minutes, which means you can get through the day — and then some — without having to charge your phone. While there is a newer 2022 model, that phone’s lackluster CPU resulted in laggy app launches and overall disappointing performance, which makes the 2021 model the phone to get. In our Moto G Power 2021 review, we called it the best budget handset you’ll find. It’s even more tempting now that it’s on sale.
Save a whopping $60 with this Black Friday air fryer deal, which is now $10 cheaper than it was last week. The Bella Pro Series air fryer sports a built-in touchscreen that allows for fast and intuitive use. Its stainless steel construction is highly durable, and it has a powerful 1700w heating system. It’s a good entry-level air fryer for anyone who wants to experiment with air frying, but doesn’t want to drop upwards of $100 on a new appliance.
Now here’s a deal worthy of its Black Friday description. Best Buy currently has the Samsung 75-inch TU690T 4K TV on sale for $579. That’s $270 off and one of the least-expensive big-screen Samsung TVs we’ve ever seen. Keep in mind that the Crystal Series is part of Samsung’s budget/entry-level TVs. That said, you get HDR 10 Plus support and Alexa/Siri/Google Assistant compatibility. Gamers should take note that the TV only has two HDMI ports and a 60Hz panel, but at this price — it’s still a killer deal.
The new MacBook Pro M2 is here, but that just means it’s the perfect time to score discounts on the previous model. Even though it’s no longer the newest model, the MacBook Pro M1 still offers lightning-fast performance, excellent battery life, and a beautiful display.
If you have your eyes on the MacBook Pro M1, it’s $1,599 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) right now, a huge $400 discount.
We mentioned the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 earlier, but what if you want a fitness-focused smartwatch? We recommend the Fitbit Sense 2. It’s one of the best fitness trackers on the market for its attractive design, long battery life, and comprehensive fitness and health tracking features.
The Fitbit Sense 2 is $199 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) right now, a $100 discount.

Luckily, the Dell XPS 15 is $1,349 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) right now. This model comes packed with an Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB storage, but you can mix and match the components you like best.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is the best smartwatch on the market for Android users. With a stylish design, scratch-resistant screen, and plenty of sports tracking features, it’s the perfect accessory. Plus, it has a 50-hour battery life that beats the Apple Watch 8’s maximum battery life of 36 hours.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is $279 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) right now, a nice discount of $30 off its usual asking price.
If you want some of the best headphones on the market, the Bose QuietComfort 45 are worth a look. With some of the best active noise canceling on the market, these headphones are perfect whether you’re listening to a podcast on a noisy commute or enjoying your favorite tunes in a busy office.
As well as incredible sound quality, the Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones also boast 24 hours of battery life and intuitive touch controls that make using them a breeze. Right now the Bose QuietComfort 45 are $249 at Best Buy (opens in new tab), so grab yourself a pair and enjoy.

Apple deals are always a big part of any Black Friday sale, and Best Buy is offering a seriously impressive selection of savings on top Apple devices. For example, the iPad mini (2021) is $399 at Best Buy (opens in new tab), that’s a massive $100 off its usual price.
We rank the iPad mini 6 is one of the best tablets on the market. This is for a whole load of reason, but the punchy A15 Bionic processor is a good starting point. The tablet also sports a sharp, bright display, too. Plus we love the excellent webcam and the more universal USB-C charging. If you want ultimate portability and a tablet you can use one-handed, opt for the iPad mini 6.
If you’re running low on hard drive space ahead of the launch of God of War Ragnarök then is then this early Black Friday deal is the ideal solution to your storage woes.
Right now, the WD_Black SN850 2TB NVMe SSD w/ heatsink is on sale for $229 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a sizable $130 discount compared to its full retail price of $359, and the lowest ever price we’ve spotted to date. This drive was $100 off last week, but now it’s dropped even lower as we get closer to Black Friday.
The WD_Black SN850 was confirmed earlier this year as the first officially-licensed PS5 SSD (opens in new tab).This means you can slot the storage drive into your PS5 console without any worries about compatibility issues. The SSD meets all of Sony’s requirements for a PS5 SSD (opens in new tab), and I’ve personally tested the drive in my own PS5 for more than a year and can report that it works flawlessly.
My TV is about 12+ years old. Although it’s a smart TV, it’s actually not very smart. So I have a Roku Streaming Stick 4K connected to it. If you find yourself in a similar scenario — or if you just don’t like the smart operating system that came with your current TV — Best Buy has multiple streaming devices on sale from $17. The sale includes a handful of Roku devices and the Google Chromecast with Google TV.
Just one note — the Apple TV 4K is about $10 cheaper at Amazon. Amazon has it for $99 (opens in new tab), whereas Best Buy has it for $109 (opens in new tab).
Don’t like being constrained by traditional TV sizes? The Samsung Freestyle is a 1080p portable (1.8-pound) projector that can project onto a variety of different surfaces from 30 to 100 inches. It features 360-degree sound and lets you summon Alexa or Bixby via its built-in smart assistant support. It’s on sale for $599, which blows away all previous deals we’ve seen for this projector. Heads up, Amazon has it for $597 (opens in new tab), which is a tad cheaper.
I admit — Best Buy isn’t the first spot I got to for deals on kitchenware. However, they currently have a pretty sweet deal on this Cuisinart 12-piece set. They’re offering the Cuisinart SmartNest 12-piece Nonstick set for just $99. That’s $69 off and the best price I’ve seen for it on the Webs today. By comparison, Cuisinart (opens in new tab) and Target (opens in new tab) are selling it for its full price of $169. It includes a 1 Qt. Open Pour Saucepan, 1.5 Qt. Saucepan w/ Cover, 3 Qt. Sauté Pan w/ Cover, 6 Qt. Stockpot w/ Cover, 8-inch Skillet, 10-inch Skillet, and Lid Organizer.
Best Buy is offering a lot of deals on small kitchen appliances, but large appliances are also on sale. The retailer has a few different sales depending on the brand you’re loyal to. For example, you can get a free $150 Best Buy gift card when you buy 3 or more eligible Samsung appliances (priced $1,299 or more). Alternatively, you can save 10% on KitchenAid appliance packages, $200 off Frigidaire appliance packages, or up to $2,000 off GE appliance packages.
I mentioned earlier how Best Buy is offering really aggressive TV deals and this is an example of what I’m talking about. Right now you can get this 75-inch Samsung 4K TV for just $579. If you check out our guide to 75-inch TV deals, you’ll see that it’s usually the smaller brands that offer this price point (Insignia, Onn, etc). But now you can get a Samsung at this price. That said, this is an entry-level Samsung TV (part of the manufacturer’s 6-Series lineup). It’s also somewhat limited in that you only get 2 HDMI ports and a 60Hz panel. But if you’re not a gamer and just want a big-screen TV on a low budget, it doesn’t get better than this.
The Chromebook Duet is a dazzling iPad killer. In our Lenovo Chromebook Duet review, we said it offers remarkable value with tons of battery life (about 12 hours and 47 minutes in our testing). There are a lot of different versions and configs of the Duet (this one here packs an OLED screen (opens in new tab)), but this model on sale packs a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 touch display, MediaTek P60T CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB eMMC. That may sound underpowered, but for Google’s Chrome OS it’s sufficient for everyday tasks and streaming.
The holidays are a great time to expand your video game collection. For example, right now at Best Buy you’ll get a free video game when you purchase two. The sale includes PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox titles. It also includes some of our personal favorite games like Horizon Forbidden West, Ratchet & Clank, and Spider-Man Miles Morales.
Heads up: Best Buy suggests packages to buy, but you can also click on the “Build my Package” button to make your own bundle.
Looking to upgrade you smartphone ahead of Black Friday, but don’t want to be locked into a lengthy contract? Best Buy has you covered as the Google Pixel 6a (128GB) is on sale for $299 (opens in new tab). That’s sizeable $150 saving compared to its retail price of $449.
There’s a lot to like about the Pixel 6a. From its bright 6.1-inch OLED display, to the powerful Tensor chip that keeps it running. In our Pixel 6a review, we called Google’s phone the best sub-$500 phone on the market and we found that it delivers better performance than its closest Android rival, the Samsung Galaxy A53.
It is also a great camera phone. There are two cameras on the back that deliver an excellent photography experience with a 12.2MP main camera and a second 12MP ultra-wide camera.
Not all earbuds demand a $249 price tag. If you’re on a budget, the Galaxy Buds 2 are one of the best wireless earbuds on the market. They features a battery life of up to 7.5 hours (with ANC off), Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, and colorful options. In our Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 review, we said they provide a pleasant mobile listening experience without breaking the bank. Not a fan of the color? Amazon offers a few more color options (opens in new tab) for the same price.
The MacBook Pro 14-inch isn’t expected to get a full refresh until 2023, but the current model is one of the best laptops you can buy period. And right now you can get it for just $1,599, which is $400 off its standard price and its lowest price ever.
This system is powered by Apple’s powerful M1 Pro CPU, which delivers 8 more GPU cores, a better Media Engine, and more memory bandwidth than the already fast M1 chip. Based on our testing, the MacBook Pro 14-inch runs circles around most Windows laptops when it comes to performance, and we saw over 14 hours of battery life in our MacBook Pro 14-inch review.
You also get a bright and rich 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED display with 3024 x 1984 resolution. Other specs include 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Add in three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and SDXC card slot — plus MagSafe charging — and you have a winner.
If I had to pick one deal to highlight Best Buy’s entire Black Friday sale — this would be it. I never imagined 4K OLED TV prices would plummet like this in 2022, but here we are. Right now you can score the 48″ LG A2 OLED 4K TV for just $569 at Best Buy. That’s the least-expensive OLED TV we’ve ever seen.
This TV gets you beautiful OLED visuals without having to spend a fortune. It’s worth noting that this is LG’s entry-level OLED for 2022. You get support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG viewing formats, which help make the content you view on the screen look their absolute best. There’s also built-in support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which means you can control your TV with your voice. But gamers take note — the refresh rate of the TV only goes to 60Hz (120Hz is preferred), and there is no HDMI 2.1 support. Otherwise, it’s an amazing deal on a 48-inch OLED TV.
