SAVE UP TO 20%: Amazon is offering up to 20% off select branded gift cards for Black Friday — including Apple, Fandango at Home, Taco Bell, Petsmart, Google Play, and more.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple / Applebees / Bath & Body Works Select branded gift cards up to 20% off Get Deal

Not sure what to get for someone on your list this year? In this economy, we think anyone and everyone will appreciate the classic gift card. And while scouring the major retailers for the best Black Friday deals, we discovered Amazon is having a branded gift card sale.

As of Nov. 28, aka Black Friday, you can score up to 20% off select branded gift cards at Amazon — including top brands, stores, and restaurants like Apple, Google Play, Fandango, Petsmart, and Applebees. Most gift cards included in the sale are for either $50 or $100. Some offer direct savings, while others offer savings in the form of promotional credits.

One thing to note: Many of these gift card offers are Lightning deals. That means once the little bar that reads "X% claimed" reaches 100, the deal will disappear.

Some of our favorite options include a $15 Amazon credit with $100 Apple gift card purchases, $50 gift cards for $40 from Fandango, Petco, California Pizza Kitchen, Spafinder, and Outback, and $100 Lowe's gift cards for $90. There were also notable deals on Uber Eats and Lyft gift cards, but those already sold out. So, be sure to keep an eye on that Lightning deal ticker and snag the Black Friday savings while you can.

We're in the thick of Black Friday season, and this year, the best Black Friday deals include record prices on Apple Watches, Samsung QLED TVs, Kindle e-readers, and PlayStation video games. Unfortunately, we haven't been particularly impressed with this year's crop of iPad deals, which are usually a mainstay of big sales events. Having tested the iPad Air and the new M5 iPad Pro for Mashable, I've been watching and waiting for price drops that just haven't come.

So, what gives?

Apple itself doesn't really do sales, but the big box retailers and Amazon always compete to offer the lowest possible prices on Apple products during events like Prime Day and Black Friday. Overall, there are some great deals on Apple products this year. All the new Apple Watches are on sale. AirPods now start at $69, which feels like someone made a mistake. And even the new M5 MacBook Pro is at a record price.

We were hoping to see one of Apple's older iPads go on sale for $250 for Black Friday, but so far we've been disappointed, and we don't expect any further price drops at this point. Check out our full guide to Black Friday iPad deals to get the download on the lowest price on every model. Or, keep reading to see the few iPad deals I do recommend shopping this year.

If you want the best possible price: 11-inch iPad (A16) for $274

This isn't a bad price for an iPad by any means, but in years past, the older, base iPads would go on sale for $250 during Black Friday, and we were hoping to see that again in 2025. However, $274 is still a fine price for an iPad. The base iPad has a large 11-inch display and comes in a few fun color options. We've had good experiences with this Apple tablet, and it's the right choice for budget shoppers this year. This is actually a record-low price for this iPad, but considering its age, we were hoping for a slightly bigger discount.

$349 Save $75   Get Deal If you're buying a gift (for yourself or a loved one): 11-inch iPad Air (M3)

The iPad Air is the tablet I recommend for most people. It's thin but powerful, with a zippy M3 chip and 12MP front and rear cameras. It also has TouchID for secure logins. This is a fantastic everyday tablet, but you can do more serious work on it if you like. (Personally, I prefer using tablets for gaming and streaming.) Upgrade to iPadOS 26, and you can enjoy the new Liquid Glass design, improved multitasking, and the ability to move windows around on the display.

The 11-inch version of this tablet is on sale at Amazon for $449, which is also a record price — just not a new record price. If you're buying an iPad as a tech gift (they make great Christmas gifts for moms, just saying), this is the model you should choose.

$599 Save $150   Get Deal If you're a professional: Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M5)

The newest iPad Pro is the second-coolest product I tested all year, second only to the new M5-equipped Apple Vision Pro. It's remarkably thin and light. It's even thinner than the iPad Air and iPhone Air. It also features a true HDR-capable OLED display that's truly stunning. Even in direct sunlight, the display is crisp and bright. In fact, this display is so advanced that professional film editors can use it to watch final cuts of their footage.

Of course, the key phrase in the name iPad Pro is "Pro." Its M5 chip will be wasted on the average user. For professional artists, developers, AI professionals, and photo and video editors, it's a dream device.

For Black Friday, you can save $100 on the full retail price, paying just $899. That's actually a decent discount on a product that was just released a couple months ago.

It's the First Quarter tonight, which means the Moon is half-illuminated and positioned 90 degrees from the Sun. This phase also marks the midpoint between the New Moon and the Full Moon.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Friday, Nov. 28, the moon phase is First Quarter. This means 53% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

The moon is half full tonight, so there's at least half of it ready to be gazed at. So, what can you see when you look up? According to NASA, without any visual aids you should be able to spot the Vaporum, Tranquillitatis, and Serenitatis Mares. With binoculars you'll also be able to spot the Endymion and Alphonsus Craters as well as the Mare Nectaris. If you have a telescope, pull it out to try and catch a glimpse of the Apollo 15 and 17 landing spots, and the Descartes Highlands.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Dec. 4, which will be the last of three consecutive supermoons. The last full moon was on Nov. 5.

What are moon phases?

According to NASA, moon phases are what make up the lunar cycle, a repeating cycle that lasts around 29.5 days. These phases describe how the moon appears from Earth as it orbits our planet. We always see the same side of the moon, but the amount of sunlight illuminating it changes throughout its orbit. That’s why sometimes it looks full, sometimes half, and sometimes disappears entirely. There are eight moon phases:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Manipulated videos, including ones related to politicians deemed "high-risk," don't have to be culled from Facebook feeds, according to Meta's Oversight Board — but they should at least be better labeled.

The decision Nov. 25 decision was spurred by a user who appealed to remove a viral video that appeared to show global demonstrations in favor of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Despite using mislabeled, erroneous footage to suggest there was a widespread pro-Duterte movement, Meta did not remove the post via its automated flagging process or further human review.

SEE ALSO: OpenAI denies allegations in teen death lawsuit

While the Oversight Board agreed that the video should have been escalated higher in the fact-checking process and labelled as particularly "high-risk" content, it still sided with Meta's choice to keep the video online because it did not specifically violate the company's political information guidelines. Meta prohibits misleading posts about voting locations, processes, and candidate eligibility.

The board encouraged the company to take concerted, viral misinformation campaigns seriously, writing that it is "imperative that Meta has robust processes to address viral misleading posts, including prioritizing identical or near-identical content for review, and applying all its relevant policies and related tools." Similar to other recent decisions from the board, it recommended Meta add a specific "High-Risk" label to videos with similar "because it contained a digitally altered, photorealistic video with a high risk of deceiving the public during a significant public event."

The decision aligns with the tech giant's shift away from stronger content moderation guidelines. The board has previously written in favor of social media companies using AI-powered, automated moderation to better address an onslaught of misinformation, within reason, and promoted more robust labelling of manipulated or AI-generated content as an additional guardrail. "Platforms should apply labels indicating to users when content is significantly altered and could mislead, while also dedicating sufficient resources to human review that supports this work," the board wrote in a previous blog post.

Meanwhile, Meta has slimmed down its human fact-checking team in favor of a global community notes program.

With Black Friday now up and running, there are almost too many deals to get your head around. That’s why we’re here to help by combing through leading retailers to find the best prices and products on offer. Something that always grabs the attention on Black Friday is the abundance of entertainment deals, including Amazon’s range of popular Fire TV Sticks.

If you’ve never used a Fire TV Stick before, it’s super simple. These little sticks hold the key to as much entertainment as you’ll ever need. Just plug the stick into your TV’s HDMI port and you’ll have access to over 1.8 million movies and episodes, with support for all your favorite streamers as well as free ad-supported channels, live TV, and music apps. The Fire TV Stick also comes armed with an Alexa-enabled remote — just tell Alexa which movies, shows, and channels to search for.

Here are the best Fire TV Stick deals in Black Friday 2025.

If you don't need your films and shows in 4K, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is the recommended (not to mention cheaper) alternative. At just $17.99 in the Black Friday sale — a 49% saving — it's the most affordable Fire TV Stick in the whole range. It does scale back on features slightly. There are no Xbox games here, for example. But if you're more concerned with just streaming movies and shows in HD, it's an absolute steal. You still get access to all the same streamers, channels, and music apps.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select is a mid-range option but packs plenty of features from the Max. The Select supports 4K, Xbox game streaming (though that feature is "coming soon"), and AI-assisted searching via Alexa. The downside is that this version has a slower WiFi technology — though WiFi 5 is perfectly acceptable for everyday streaming needs — and the basic storage of 8GB. The Fire TV Select is perfect for most households and is currently marked down by 50%.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, which has a full $25 off the usual price right now, gets its name for its plus-sized selection of features, including WiFi 6 support, Xbox games streaming, and superior Alexa search functions. It has half as much storage than the Max but that's really the only thing separating these two Fire Sticks. As with the other versions you'll have access to 1.8 million movies and episodes, which includes 400,000 free movies and episodes through ad-supported channels. You can also get the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus at Best Buy for the same price.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the premium version of the Fire TV Stick, with support for 4K content, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos audio, and WiFi 6E for smoother streaming. It also has a beefed-up storage of 16GB, which is double the storage of the other Fire TV Sticks. It gives you access to Xbox games, which you can stream without actually needing the console. You can also ask Alexa to search for the kind of thing you want to watch. If you want to watch action or a certain actor, just ask her and she'll find you the perfect movie using AI technology. You can also get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max at Best Buy and Target for the same price.

While scouring the web for the best Black Friday deals, we had to call out Amazon's price drop on the Mashable mom-approved Bird Buddy Pro smart bird feeder. It makes a great gift for practically anyone in your life, and it's on sale for only $189 on Black Friday. That's $110 cheaper than usual, and according to our favorite price-tracking tool, it's the best price it's ever been.

More than your average bird feeder, the Bird Buddy Pro Solar features built-in sensors and an advanced HD+ camera to capture the feathered friends that visit your feeder in vibrant 5MP photos and 2K videos. It connects to an AI-powered birdwatching app that can identify bird species and even individual birds, so you'll know if the same cardinal or chickadee becomes a frequent flyer. It can also detect signs of illness and recognize any other animal visitors that may show up. The app will send alerts in real time when birds visit the feeder and highlight interesting facts about local species. While it doesn't require a subscription, there is one available that unlocks the ability to organize photo collections and share your photos with friends and family.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth bought one of these smart bird feeders for his mom last Christmas and noted that it was a hit. We regularly include it in gift guides, as it makes a great gift for family and friends of all ages. If you're at a loss for what to get someone on your list, the viral Bird Buddy smart bird feeder could certainly be a contender — especially at its record-low Black Friday price.

It's super easy to find a good deal on Shark hair tools this Black Friday. Finding a good deal on a Shark skincare device, however... that's a taller order. While the Shark CryoGlow red light mask bundle that we saw on Prime Day isn't around, I did find one super rare Shark beauty deal in the sea of the best Black Friday deals: The Shark FacialPro Glow on sale for the first time ever, down to $349.

If you struggle with clogged pores, this unique hydro-powered at-home facial device should definitely be in your skincare arsenal — take it from someone who has the FacialPro Glow at home and watched it work on their sebaceous filaments in real time.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday: SharkNinja is giving away high-value free gifts just for buying these Shark or Ninja gadgets on sale

Admittedly, the $50 (13%) discount isn't exactly huge in the grand scheme of Black Friday discounts. But the FacialPro Glow hasn't even been out for two months yet, so I'm kind of surprised that it went on sale at all. That's also $0.99 cheaper than the price at SharkNinja website. And if weekly use of the FacialPro Glow could curb your frequency of in-office facials or extractions, it could pay for itself quickly.

The Shark FacialPro Glow really does mimic the Hydrafacial technique: The water tank and little suction nozzles work together to conduct legitimate deep cleansing through hydro-powered extractions of oil or dirt built up in your pores. The proof of the gunk that was hiding out in your skin is revealed in the second tank, which fills up with floaties made up of dead skin cells, excess sebum, makeup, whatever. The FacialPro Glow worked wonders on my chin and nose specifically, where I've had stubborn little black dots (presumably sebaceous filaments) for years.

The included Shark DePuffi attachment is such a luxurious daily little treat, too. In the mornings and anytime after I exfoliate, I swap out the extraction attachment and click the Depuffi attachment onto the battery pack. It's like a stainless steel gua sha that can heat up or get really cold in seconds. Not only is the cool setting refreshing when I'm in zombie mode, but now, I don't feel ready for the day unless I snatch my jawline and cheekbones.

Black Friday is here, and as a consumer, it's totally overwhelming. You're getting inundated with so many deals from every single retailer, and it's hard to stay focused and find the best deals. Right now, we're focusing on one retailer's Black Friday sale: Walmart.

Does Walmart price match Black Friday deals?

No — Walmart won't price-match other retailers' Black Friday deals, and it doesn't offer retroactive price adjustments. However, if something you bought there recently gets cheaper later on during its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, you can always just return it and rebuy it. Under Walmart's extended holiday return policy, most items purchased in stores or online from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 are returnable until Jan. 31, 2026.

Walmart Cyber Monday early access

Paid Walmart+ members got to shop the retailer's Black Friday sale five hours before everyone else, and they'll get the same opportunity ahead of its Cyber Monday sale. The deals will open to Walmart+ members in early access at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 30.

If you haven't joined the Walmart+ program yet, Walmart has a promotion going on for new members. One-year subscriptions are just $49 (or 50% off) through Tuesday, Dec. 2. A Walmart+ membership comes with tons of other perks besides early access to its biggest sales, including free delivery, free access to either Paramount+ or Peacock, and gas discounts.

Everyone has a retailer they're loyal to, and often it depends on what's closest to home. If Target happens to be your retailer of choice, then we've got some great news about their Black Friday sale. This year, Target's Black Friday sale kicked off early, bringing major discounts on Apple AirPods and TCL's dupe of The Frame.

Don't hold off too long on shopping — Target's Black Friday sale wraps up on Saturday, Nov. 29. While you can still shop the retailer's Cyber Monday sale online the days following, the in-store Black Friday shopping experience will wind down on Saturday. Here's everything you need to know about Target's Black Friday sale including its opening and closing hours, early access info, and the best deals to shop now.

When exactly is Target's Black Friday Sale?

This year, Black Friday takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, but Target's sale started long before that. Target's Black Friday sale officially runs from Sunday, Nov. 23 to Saturday, Nov. 29. However, Target will drop even more deals Nov. 27-29. After Black Friday wraps up, Cyber Monday starts on Sunday, Nov. 30 and runs through Monday, Dec. 1.

What times does Target open on Black Friday?

Target brought back the in-person shopping experience this Black Friday. All Target stores closed on Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) and reopened today. On Friday, Nov. 28, Target stores opened at 6 a.m. local time and will close at their regular time (typically 10 p.m.). It's best to check your local store's hours ahead of time.

Target made waking at the crack of dawn to shop worthwhile this year, as the first 100 guests in line on Black Friday received a limited-edition iridescent tote filled with giveaways. Among those 100 totes, 10 lucky shoppers got an extra surprise inside, ranging in value from $99 to $350. Surprise gifts include Target Circle 360 membership, $100 Target GiftCard, Laifen Hair Dryer, Ninja Slushie machine or Beats Solo 4 headphones.

Additionally, for stores with Starbucks Cafés inside, customers can enjoy a sample of the new Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Black Friday has finally arrived, and we're hard at work rounding up the best Black Friday deals and providing live updates on the top sales. Some of this year's biggest deals are on huge, giant-size TVs, and we've gathered the best of the bunch.

A quick look at the best giant-sized Black Friday TV deals Best deal on a big OLED TV Samsung 77-inch S95F OLED 4K TV $3,499.99 (save $1,000 at Best Buy plus get a free $100 gift card) Get Deal Budget Pick Insignia 75-inch QF Series 4K QLED Smart Fire TV $399.99 (save $250 at Amazon) Get Deal Best Under $1,000 Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV $997 (save $401.99 at Amazon) Get Deal Best deal on a big mini LED TV TCL 75-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,397.99 (save $602 at Amazon) Get Deal Best deal on a big art TV Samsung 77-inch The Frame Pro Neo QLED 4K TV $3,499.99 (save $1,000 at Best Buy plus get a free $100 gift card) Get Deal Best deal on a 100-inch TV Hisense 100-inch U6 Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,699.99 (save $1,800 at Best Buy) Get Deal

If you don't have a super big TV because your living room is too small, we can't help you. But if you don't have a super big TV just because they're typically out of budget, then Black Friday TV deals are here to shave up to $1,000 (or more!) off of that price point. You could easily end up snagging a 75, 85, or even 98-inch TV for the usual price of a 65-inch model any other time of year.

Even better news: All of our expert top TV recommendations for 2025 are on sale for Black Friday in their giant sizes, most hitting new record-low prices that we hadn't seen before.

Here's a rundown of the best Black Friday deals on giant TVs 75 inches and up:

A budget-friendly 75-inch TV

Yes, even in a year full of tariffs and inflation, budget-friendly 75-inch TVs do exist. Case in point: The Insignia QF Series 4K QLED Fire TV. Strangely, this Amazon Fire TV is listed for sale at Amazon by an unexpected third-party seller: Best Buy. It's a weird bit of corporate synergy. Unsurprisingly, it's also available at Best Buy, but for Prime members who would prefer to shop on Amazon, this TV is available for only $399.99, a 38% discount from the full retail price.

While this budget model won't win any awards for its display, it makes up for that with sheer size. Powered by the Amazon Fire TV OS, you can enjoy your favorite shows, movies, and sports on a massive 75-inch QLED display.

While we have named the LG C5 as the best OLED TV you can buy right now, the LG C5's Black Friday deal isn't exactly groundbreaking. Most sizes of the C5 have actually been at their Black Friday prices since October. A Black Friday OLED deal we're more excited about is the 75-inch Samsung S95F OLED for $3,499.99. At a full $1,000 off, that actually is a new record low price — and buying it at Best Buy will earn you a free $100 Best Buy gift card on top of that.

To be clear, the Samsung S95F is still one of the best OLED TVs you can buy in 2025. That's especially true if a lot of your watching or gaming is done in the daylight or a lit room, thanks to the S95F's immaculate glare reflection. The OLED weak spot is typically bright rooms, so this TV is truly a steal.

The internet is pretty unanimous that TCL's QM8K offers the best value for a mini LED TV. It's incredibly bright — even brighter than the 2024 TCL QM8, which was widely considered the brightest TV of 2024. That's great news for watching in a room with a lot of natural sunlight, and the impeccable picture quality makes even the tiniest details legible (NFL fans, here's your heavy hitter for Sunday afternoon games).

In a dark room, the QM8K still achieves some of the deepest blacks and shadow details that you'll find in a non-OLED TV. TCL even implemented a new anti-halo effect to mitigate blooming around bright objects in an otherwise shadowy scene.

Samsung's The Frame Pro is the only mini LED version of the Frame (Neo QLED is Samsung's term of endearment for mini LED). This means that there are a ton of tiny lightbulbs packed into the backlight of the screen, offering more precision in terms of lightening and dimming of specific parts of the screen than what the regular Frame TV can.

Amazon's Black Friday deal on The Frame Pro is so good that the 75-inch Frame Pro is currently cheaper than the 75-inch regular Frame TV, and the 2024 version at that.

Cyber Weekend is one of the rare times of year when the Apple Store hosts a sale — sort of. Instead of offering cash discounts on its devices, the tech retailer simply doles out free gift cards with eligible purchases.

Apple's 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Event runs from Friday, Nov. 28 through Monday, Dec. 1, and it's a little bit more tempting than usual. Shoppers can earn up to $250 worth of free gift cards when they buy one of its gadgets direct, up from $200 in 2024 and 2023. Free money is always nice, of course, but third-party retailers' Black Friday price cuts on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches are far more competitive. Plus, many newer devices are excluded from the Apple Store's promotion.

Right now, there are only five Apple devices and accessories that I would recommend buying on sale from Apple itself (scroll down to find those).

The Apple Store's 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

Apple's free gift card offers for Black Friday and Cyber Monday range from $25 to $250, depending on the product. They can only be redeemed on future purchases from the Apple Store in person or online:

• AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC — $25 Apple gift card

Other retailers' Apple deals are way better, for the most part

Most of the Apple Store's offers pale in comparison to other retailers' cash discounts on its devices (with five notable exceptions — more on them shortly). For instance, Amazon and Walmart have the AirPods 4 marked down to $69 during their Black Friday sales, which is a $60 savings on their list price. If you buy them directly from Apple instead, you're only getting $25 back.

Here's another example: Amazon and Best Buy are both selling the M4 MacBook Airs for $250 off — the 13-inch model is $749 (normally $999), while the 15-incher is $949 (normally $1,199). It's silly to buy either size directly from the Apple Store if you're only saving $175 or $200 apiece, respectively.

Even the high-end MacBook Pros that come with Apple's highest free gift card offer have steeper discounts elsewhere. The M4 Pro and M4 Max models are anywhere from $250 to $500 off across Amazon and Best Buy.

It's also crucial to know that Apple Store's Cyber Week savings event doesn't include some of the newest products, including the M5 MacBook Pro, M5 iPad Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Beats PowerBeats Fit earbuds. The AirTag, HomePod mini, Mac Studio, and Studio Display are also omitted. Third-party retailers are the only places to get any sort of deals on most of them. (The PowerBeats Fit are the sole product I couldn't find on sale anywhere.) We've rounded up the best Apple deals at major retailers here.

5 Black Friday Apple Store deals worth buying

I've cross-checked all of the products featured in Apple's Black Friday sale and found five instances where its gift card offer was better than a retailer's cash discount. The rest are all matched or beaten.

The AirPods Pro 3 are currently $219.99 (or $30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. They come with a free $50 gift card to the Apple Store.

The $149 Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen, WiFi + Ethernet) was on sale for $99.99 at Costco, but it's now sold out there. (The deal was limited to Costco members, anyway.) It's full price everywhere else, along with the WiFi-only model. The Apple Store will give you a free $25 gift card for buying either one direct.

The HomePod (2nd Gen) is marked down to $269.99 at Best Buy, which is a $29.01 discount. Meanwhile, it nets you a free $50 gift card to the Apple Store.

The Beats Studio Buds + are $149.95 at Amazon and $149.99 at Best Buy (a $20-ish savings). At Kohl's, they earn you $45 in free Kohl's Cash. But at the Apple Store, they come with a free $50 gift card.

Finally, Amazon has the 13-inch M3 iPad Air's Magic Keyboard on sale for $299.99 in the 13-inch size, saving shoppers just $19.01. The Apple Store throws in a $25 gift card if you buy it there instead.

A bonus pro tip for expert-level deal hunters

If you know you're going to be buying something from the Apple Store this Cyber Weekend, snag some Apple gift cards from Target first. Target Circle members get a free $15 Target gift card for every $100 they spend on Apple gift cards there through Nov. 29. The Target Circle loyalty program is completely free to join, so it's an easy way to score even more free money as part of your holiday shopping.

As a quick rule of thumb, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the sweet spot for gaming rigs in 2025, smashing out 4K 60FPS performance at a minimum and having DLSS 4 to crank extra frames on lower spec builds overall.

This build rocks an RTX 5080 with a solid CPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM (16GB is enough for high-spec gaming right now), and a spacious 2TB M.2 SSD. It's a beastly gaming rig and is $300 off, bringing this build to $2,899.99. I've also found some more great deals on pre-built gaming PCs, gaming laptops, mice, keyboards, and headsets.

If you’re looking to go the whole digital hog this Black Friday, the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is most certainly that: VR2 headset, Horizon Call of the Mountain game, and PS VR2 Sense controllers.

In gaming terms, it really is another world. But it’s a little more accessible to everyone for Black Friday thanks to a competitive markdown of over $100. That means the whole bundle is just $299.99 for the immersive 4K visuals, 110º field of view, and ultra-intuitive controls with haptic feedback — all of which make you feel like you really are right there in the action.

• Meta Quest 3S 256GB VR Headset — $329.99 $399.99 (save $70)

It is my firmest belief that the best Black Friday deals don't exist in a vacuum. Major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Kohl's love to price-match each other during their concurrent holiday sales. So when one of them actually manages to one-up its peers with an exclusive discount, it's worth shouting about.

After spending literal days poring over retailers' Black Friday listings, I've stumbled upon nearly two dozen deals on 4K TVs, headphones, smart gadgets, video games, and other items that are at their cheapest on Amazon. In some cases, it's beating other retailers' offers by as little as one to four cents. (That counts, but it's mostly a technicality.) In other instances, items are $10 to $207 cheaper when purchased from Amazon — those are instant add-to-cartables.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more

In doing my research, I had four rules for eligibility (I'm picky):

1. Amazon has to be beating the other retailers' prices on the item. If they're price-matching each other, Amazon has to throw in something that makes its deal better (like a free credit), or the other retailer's deal has to be sold out.

2. The other retailer has to stock the item in the same color or configuration as Amazon.

3. The item has to be tagged as a Black Friday deal by Amazon or its competitor.

4. The item can't be sold by a sketchy third-party seller at Amazon or its competitor. It's got to be coming from the retailers themselves or a verified brand's store page.

I'll keep adding to my list as I encounter more better-than-elsewhere deals on Amazon, so keep checking back throughout Cyber Weekend.

Though we've been seeing great deals all month, Black Friday proper has only just arrived. And with it, the best deals of the season.

While we saw some early Black Friday earbuds deals last week, Thanksgiving week has brought plenty more record prices, with Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target hosting sales. Walmart and Amazon have the Apple AirPods 4 down to a new record-low of $69, Walmart has the AirPods Pro 2 down to $139, and Amazon brought back its classic $35 Echo Buds with ANC deal (and it's already sold out). More premium releases are on sale too: The new second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are down to a record-low of $216, and the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 are getting a rare markdown, hitting their lowest price ever at $222.99.

The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds dropped this past September and got their first discount by the end of the same month, with a nearly $42 price cut. When we saw they dropped to $249 in November, we weren't sure we'd get an even lower price on Black Friday, but as sales kicked off in earnest, the black and desert gold colorways went down to $216, a new record-low price. The desert gold option has already sold out, but the black colorway is still going strong. With their rich sound, excellent noise cancellation, and nearly unbeatable comfort, they're certainly a premium earbud, but on sale, an absolutely great value.

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale, making them the perfect Black Friday purchase. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. While the newer A30 buds (also on sale) offer ANC and some white noise features, we don't think they necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisy neighbors, street noise, and AC units. They're especially great if you plan on streaming audio.

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2025, 11:50 a.m. The website is "up and running as normal," according to posts from the Best Buy Support X account. In delayed responses to concerned users, support staff said site issues could potentially be caused by the use of a VPN or overloaded browser caches. Users, meanwhile, reported multiple types of errors, slow pages, and inaccessible password reset options across the site and app. Support staff recommended shoppers clear their cache or DM the Best Buy Support account for any continued issues.

Amid a flurry of tech sales and customers flocking to the internet to score big, Best Buy's website has seemingly called it quits, with users reporting multiple outages as they try to cash in on Black Friday deals. Might be time to head to the app, except our shopping reporters had problems with that, too.

Users took to social media to complain about the inconvenient website crash while trying to capitalize on viral iPad steals and huge doorbuster deals on things like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops — hot commodities during the post-Thanksgiving shopping craze.

According to Down Detector, shoppers first started reporting outages around 9:40 a.m. ET.

I pretty much spend every day I'm at work testing out headphones and earbuds, which means I've become well-versed in which headphones are actually worth your money.

This year has been an especially noteworthy year for headphones, with flagship releases from Sony, Bose, and Bowers & Wilkins. Flagship headphones are often the ones that get recommended on best of lists — ours included — but considering the new norm for a starting price is $449, they're not exactly the most affordable choice out there. Enter: Black Friday, when tech deals abound.

SEE ALSO: Mashable will send the best Black Friday deals directly to your phone — how it works

I've spotted some especially noteworthy headphones and earbuds price drops for Black Friday — all of which Mashable has recommended in some capacity. In this case, a noteworthy deal is not simply something on sale. In fact, I've only selected deals that are actually great Black Friday deals (and not easy to grab on sale at other times of the year).

For instance, I didn't add the second-generation Bose QC Ultra earbuds to this list when they were on sale for $249 — they hit that price in September, and have returned to it since (before Black Friday deals kicked off). However, for Black Friday, they've dipped down to $216, making them a deal worth mentioning as truly one of the best.

Now that Black Friday is officially here, plenty of headphones are down to record-low prices. I've been scouring the savings to come up with this selection of the 15 best headphones and earbuds deals live for Black Friday.

One of the most comfortable pairs of noise-cancelling headphones Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones $299 at Amazon
$429 Save $130   Get Deal at Amazon

The first time I put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones on, I knew they were the most comfortable headphones I'd ever worn (Mashable's Samantha Mangino had a similar experience). That belief became even firmer over years of use (and testing them against new competitors). Although the new second-generation headphones feel ever so slightly more comfortable, the originals still hold up.

SEE ALSO: We tested every pair of Bose headphones and earbuds. We found 5 we love, and 1 to buy on sale.

On sale for $299, they're a much better value than the $449 second-gen Ultras. Their main quirks include no passive playback and the occasional difficulty pairing to more than one device. However, when I compared them directly against their newer counterpart, I found the ANC and sound to be very similar. This is a great deal, and people are taking notice — these headphones have already sold out at Amazon in a couple of colorways.

As I mentioned in the intro, despite being a relatively new release, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) have gone on sale a couple of times, dropping down to $249 in select colorways. For Black Friday, the black colorway has dropped to a record-low price of $216.

SEE ALSO: Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds 2 are one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds available, but not a must-upgrade

I get that, sale or not, over $200 is a hefty investment for a pair of earbuds. To that, I would say if you're someone looking for something you can wear all day, and prioritize top-of-the-line noise cancellation above all else, these earbuds will be worth it for you. The fit keeps them secure without causing soreness, and helps seal you into a place of quiet that, along with the ANC, rivals many over-ear headphones I've tested.

While the QC Ultras are one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones out there, the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones take the top spot. They also come with some nice quality of life upgrades, including a 30-hour battery life, passive playback support, lossless audio support with the USB-C cable, and an upgrade to their design with new colorways and a shiny metal accent. They're maybe not upgrade-worthy if you already own the first-gen headphones, but if it's your first foray into the QC Ultra line, grabbing these headphones for their price drop drop ever (and a pretty solid one at that) is a smart buy.

Sony headphones that still sound incredible Sony WH-1000XM5 $248 at Amazon
$399.99 Save $151.99   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Amazon

The thing about Sony flagship headphones is that they're going to sound incredible. With the release of the XM6s, the WH-1000XM5 headphones are the former flagship headphones, but their sound profile remains one of the best in the game. I particularly like the "find your equalizer" feature that guides the less audiophile inclined among us through the process of finding their perfect custom EQ sound, which really helps these headphones shine. More generally speaking, when I tested the XM6s and XM5s head-to-head, I didn't find any huge discrepancies in performance. Plus, the XM6s got a $50 price bump to their list price, meaning that even if they were to get a $50 price drop over Black Friday (a markdown we've only spotted once before), they'll still be $150 more than the XM5s at this price point.

And Sony's latest flagship headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 $0 at Amazon

While these are still $150 more than the XM5s, it is worth mentioning that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are down to their lowest price ever at $398. It's certainly possible that their price will drop even further next week, but I've also seen Sony stick to their initial discounts in past shopping holidays. If you want the best sound Sony (and most brands, tbh) has to offer, industry-leading ANC, and ear cups that fold in (a convenient feature for travelers), then the XM6s are an excellent choice. In his review, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "if you want best-in-class noise-cancelling headphones and pristine audio quality, the headphones deliver."

Mid-range headphones for under $100 Sony WH-CH720N $88 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $91.99   See It at Amazon

Noise-cancelling headphones with great sound quality from a reputable brand don't need to cost several hundred dollars, and the Sony WH-CH720N are proof of exactly that. Mashable named them Sony's best headphones under $100, with Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti singing their praises after two years of use. He deemed their sound quality "near flagship" level, and was impressed by the 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, which beats out the current flagship models of both Bose and Sony.

Though you can often find them on sale for $98 (a feat on its own, considering their $179.99 list price), it's slightly less common to find them on sale for $88, making this a great deal on Black Friday. As an added bonus, the pink colorway is more unique than you might find from other budget headphones options under $100.

The best sounding open earbuds Bose Ultra Open earbuds $199 at Amazon
$299 Save $100   Get Deal at Amazon

Open earbuds are great if you prefer staying somewhat aware of the world around you, but in my experience, that can come in the form of less-than-stellar sound quality. In the case of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, you get the best of both worlds. I suspect that's a large part of the reason behind their $299 price tag (which admittedly feels more appropriate for noise-cancelling earbuds). That's why I recommend them as an upgrade pick for open earbuds, and why I'm an especially big fan of this $100 off deal. In addition to their surprisingly rich sound, I especially like their small charging case, smartly placed on-ear controls, comfortable clip-on design, and many options for colorways.

Excellent mid-range noise-cancelling earbuds Bose QuietComfort earbuds $129 at Amazon
$179 Save $50   Get Deal at Amazon

Rounding out my picks is maybe the most underrated Bose product — the QuietComfort earbuds. Though their design isn't the most elegant, that's pretty much where their underwhelming features end. For starters, these earbuds have incredible battery life — in my weeks of testing them, I rarely had to charge them, and easily squeezed in a five-hour day of use, with ANC on and battery life to spare.

Sound and noise-cancellation-wise, they don't wow quite as much as the QC Ultra earbuds, but they're also significantly cheaper, even at full price. For their $129 sale price, they're less than half the price of the premium earbuds, and I promise, their performance doesn't reflect that. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say there's more of a $50 to $75 performance discrepancy between the two earbuds, which is why we've named these the best mid-budget earbuds currently on the market. Though we've seen them drop to $129 before, it is their lowest price ever, still making this a great grab on Black Friday.

I don't know if it's possible a more affordable headphones deal will pop up this Black Friday. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones, already a solid value at full price, are an even better value at their usual sale price of about $40, and a downright steal at this new Black Friday price (and new record low) of $27. This beats Amazon's deal by over $12 and last year's Black Friday pricing by $2. When I tested these headphones, I was surprised by their battery life, along with how solid their sound and ANC performed, as well as the extensive customizability on their app. Mashable's Haley Henschel owns these headphones, and appreciates their comfort. They're our favorite budget headphones and one of our top picks for students for a reason.

The best earbuds for working out Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 $199.95 at Amazon
$249.99 Save $50.04   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart

When I first tried out the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, I wasn't sure I'd like them all that much, as I had trouble finding how to properly put them on with the ear hook (my colleague Sam Mangino had a similar experience). However, there's a reason they say first impressions aren't everything — after we both found the right ear tip size and got through this small learning curve, we fell in love with these earbuds. So did Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti, who gave them a Mashable Choice Award in his review.

This consensus made these an easy pick for the best earbuds for working out: though their ANC isn't the best, it's present, the ear hook keeps the buds in place without being uncomfortable, the sound is rich, the on-ear controls reliable and perfect for using mid-workout, and the built-in heart rate monitor is a convenient feature, especially if you don't already own a fitness tracker. Though they've hit this sale price before, they don't go on sale often, so I recommend grabbing them while you can.

A (better) AirPods Max alternative

Mashable loved the Beats Studio Pro when they first dropped in 2023, and after testing them again in 2025 against the rest of the Beats lineup, we found that they held up. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti compared them to another Apple over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, saying the Beats Studio Pro have a lot of overlap in features with AirPods, making the Beats a much better bang for your buck. The Studio Pro have better battery life (24 hours compared to the AirPods' 20), and according to Bracetti, better sound quality and similar ANC. The AirPods Max are currently on sale for $399.99, meaning you could buy two pairs of these Beats and still have money left over.

This deal in particular applies to the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian model, which at the time of writing are $20 cheaper than the regular Studio Pros' sale price (which just feature different colorway options).

Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian $149.95 at Amazon

Many popular flagship headphones have roughly 30 hours of battery life, which makes the whopping 60 hours of battery life found on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 all the more impressive. (And yes, that's with ANC on). This feature certainly made them a standout to us, and earned them the spot of Mashable's favorite headphones with long battery life, but that wasn't the only place they wowed.

When I tested these headphones out, trying to wear down that mammoth battery life felt like marginally less of a chore because of their excellent sound quality. The ANC stood out less than competitors, and the touch controls were on the sensitive side, but the companion app added enough customizability that it was never a real problem. I also appreciate that even with both pairs on sale, these headphones are cheaper than the Dyson OnTrac headphones, their only real competition for battery life. (And in my opinion, the Sennheisers have a much more elegant design). At $199.95, these headphones are just a couple of dollars away from their lowest price ever, and in a price range I've typically only seen around the holiday season.

Indicators that Black Friday is absolutely in full swing? The price drop on the Apple AirPods 4. It was already great to see them drop down to $79 — their former lowest price ever — earlier this month, but Amazon outdid itself before Black Friday even started. These earbuds have dropped to an impressive $69, bringing them down to yet another record low. I'd be surprised if their price drops much further, so if you're an Apple user who doesn't need earbuds with ANC, it'll be hard to beat this deal.

The Raycon Everyday Earbuds may have made a name for themselves through many a YouTube sponsorship, but after testing them out for myself, I can personally verify that these are really solid budget earbuds. These are the perfect option for anyone who wants the basics done well, without the hassle of any setup. They come sans companion app (and a button for Bluetooth), but they pair easily as soon as they're powered on, and can be controlled entirely by the tactile on-ear controls.

Both their sound quality and ANC are solid; they come with eight hours of charge with ANC on (the same as the AirPods Pro 3), and six gel tips for finding the perfect fit. If you're looking for budget headphones with a few more extras, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are also on sale — although they're a great value, they do drop down to this price point year-round, making them a less impressive Black Friday deal.

Maybe the biggest flaw of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds is that they rarely go on sale. With this Black Friday deal, these earbuds aren't just getting a rare price cut, but they're down to their absolute lowest price ever. In his review of the earbuds, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth pointed to their audio quality as their standout feature, writing, "While Bose retains an edge on overall comfort, I'm not aware of any wireless earbuds in the world that offer better, fuller, more accurate sound."

In addition to the excellent sound quality, these earbuds come equipped with top-notch adaptive ANC, three-way multipoint pairing that works without a hitch, LDAC support, and a premium design with metal accents on the earbuds and case.
