Best Early Black Friday Tech Deals 2024, Vetted by Our Gear Editors

IT PROBABLY GOES without saying that Black Friday (and the time leading up to it) is one of the best times of year to score incredible deals on all kinds of gear. But tech is one of the best categories to shop for before the holiday season. Whether you’re searching for a new pair of noise-canceling headphones, a smart TV, a fitness-tracking watch, an AI-assisted smart speaker, a new laptop, and/or more, we’ve been keeping tabs on it all.

Maybe it’s time to treat yourself, or perhaps you’re getting your holiday gift shopping done early. Either way, you’ll find all the best tech devices with the steepest discounts right here. We’ll be regularly updating these deals through Cyber Monday, so make sure to bookmark this page.

Apple Deals

While Apple rarely puts its gear on sale, it has a deal with Amazon that allows the retail giant to offer some of Apple’s best gear at a discount you’ll simply not find anywhere else. For instance, two of the brand’s best-selling headphones, the AirPods Pro 2 and the over-ear AirPods Max are discounted by 24 and 18 percent, respectively.

But headphones aren’t the only deals you can score. In need of a laptop? This M3-equipped Apple 2023 MacBook Pro is down to $1,299 (a 28 percent discount). If tablets are more your thing, the 9th-gen iPad is 39 percent off, and this A15 Bionic iPad Mini is 30 percent off. You can find even more of our favorite Apple deals for Black Friday here.

Headphone Deals

If you’re looking for a great new pair of fitness-friendly earbuds, our top pick for the best workout headphones, the Beats Fit Pro, are discounted 20 percent right now. They offer active noise-canceling tech, are water- and sweat-resistant, and pair well with Android and Apple smartphones (they’re even compatible with the Find My app).

If you’d prefer over-ear headphones but your budget is tight, the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Noise Canceling Headphones—one of the best affordable options when it comes to the best over-ear headphones—are down to just $40. And if high fidelity is more your thing, you can still save a whopping 44 percent on the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Over-Ear Headphones (which also made our list).

Smartwatch Deals

The stand-out smartwatch deals to be had right now include our pick for the best premium smartwatch, the Garmin Epix Pro, which is one of the most feature-rich smartwatches currently on the market—making it perfect for tech maximalists and outdoor survivalists alike. Other great deals include 26 percent off the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (an AI-assisted, fitness-tracking powerhouse) and 48 percent off the Diesel Griffed Gen 6 (our pick for the best rugged smartwatch).

TV Deals

One of our favorite TVs for watching sports—the LG C2 Series 55-Inch Class OLED Evo Smart TV (down by over $600)—has already been slapped with an impressive discount ahead of the holiday season. But it’s hardly the only great deal. For instance, Samsung’s gorgeous Frame TVis $700 off, and this Sony Bravia 7 55-inch mini LED TV is discounted by 24 percent.

Smart Home Deals

For those looking to upgrade their homes with an array of tech-focused devices, there are plenty of outstanding deals to be had. For instance, Amazon’s 4th-gen Echo smart speaker is on sale for 35 percent off. But that’s just the (obvious) tip of the iceberg. Other discounts include 27 percent off Philips Hue smart lightbulbs, $71 off this Schlage smart deadbolt lock, and 20 percent off this Blueair smart air purifier.

Laptop and Tablet Deals

For tablet sales, one of the best early Black Friday deals you can get right now is a jaw-dropping 46 percent off Amazon’s Fire HD tablet. But if you’re more of a laptop kind of person, this Razer gaming laptop is over $1,000 off (yes, you read that right). Of course, you could opt for something more sensible, like 47 percent off this Lenovo IdeaPad.
