The 27+ Best Black Friday Tech Deals Happening Right Now

Black Friday is officially here, and retailers are offering notable tech deals during the event. You can also find sales on kitchen, beauty and furniture, many of which run through Cyber Monday.

I have covered shopping events for years as a tech reporter for NBC Select. I spent weeks combing through discounts to find the best Black Friday tech deals actually worth shopping — deals I would shop myself. Each one I recommend below is highly rated and, when possible, I ran deals through price trackers to make sure they’re at their lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Black Friday.

Best Black Friday tech deals

I found, vetted and wrote about every deal I recommend below. I worked with NBC Select editors to finalize the live list, which I’m frequently updating throughout Black Friday to reflect the most up-to-date prices.

Best Black Friday audio deals

Apple AirPods Pro 2

4.6-star average rating from 11,361 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

If you own an iPhone, these are some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy. We’ve used them for calls, work, commuting, flights, exercise and everything in-between. They sound great, have strong and clear noise-canceling and transparency modes, and get up to six hours of listening time.

Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones

4.5-star average rating from 6,429 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

These are our favorite over-ear headphones for travel and a Giftable Tech Award winner. They are lightweight and comfortable — I never felt the need to take them off, even on 5 hour plus flights. They have excellent noise-canceling, a wired cable for seat-back entertainment and they come with a durable carrying case that makes them easy to throw in your travel backpack or weekender bag.

JBL Clip 5

4.7-star average rating from 783 reviews on Amazon

The JBL Clip 5 is the Bluetooth speaker that has gone with team NBC Select everywhere thanks to its small size and built-in carabiner — we’ve clipped it to our backpacks, belt loops, shower curtain rods, exercise bikes, dresser handles, the list goes on. It’s IP67 water and dust proof, meaning you can take it to a pool party no problem — we did.

Best Black Friday wearable deals

Apple Watch Series 10

4.6-star average rating from 675 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

The Apple Watch is one of our favorite smartwatches, and this latest model makes a few improvements over the already-excellent Apple Watch Series 9. The screen is brighter when you look at it off-angle, meaning it’s easier to check the time or a notification when you glance at your wrist without turning the watch to directly face you. It also has new swim features like a depth gauge and water temperature sensor.

Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon

4.3-star average rating from 2,378 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

I tested the Oura Ring 3 for months, pitting it against other health and fitness trackers — it stood out as an excellent option for sleep tracking and anyone who can’t stand a bulky smartwatch on their wrist. The automatic health and sleep tracking is accurate and detailed — I learned more about my sleep trends compared to most wearables I’ve tested. The ring basically requires a $5.99 a month subscription, or else you get almost none of its best features.

The brand recently launched the Oura Ring 4, hence the historically low price on this model.

Best Black Friday home and smart home deals

Kasa Full Color Smart Light Bulbs (2-Pack)

4.5-star average rating from 21,837 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez uses these smart lights throughout her apartment to set different moods. They connect easily to Amazon Alexa and Google Home systems, and can be scheduled to turn on and off at fixed times throughout the day. They come in the full-color version linked above and a lower-priced white version.

Ring Battery Doorbell

4.4-star average rating from 1,734 reviews on Amazon

This Ring doorbell launched this year and has 66% more vertical video coverage than the previous version, according to the brand. Like other models, you can view activity live, chat and listen to whoever is at the door. It comes with a new push-pin mount so you can more easily remove it from the wall when it’s time to recharge the battery. Features like viewing past video history require a Ring subscription.

Kasa Smart Plug Mini (2-Pack)

4.5-star average rating from 14,021 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Kasa makes some of our favorite smart plugs — this version is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Siri smart home systems, so you can be sure it will play nice with your other gadgets.

Best Black Friday travel tech deals

Hicober 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station

4.4-star average rating from 5,127 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

I use this Hicober 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station by my bedside — it can wirelessly charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and compatible earbuds at the same time. It isn’t the fastest charger in the world, but for charging overnight without a nest of cables, the simplicity is worthwhile.

Tile Sticker 2024

4.0-star average rating from 194 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

These small Bluetooth trackers have an adhesive back to stick onto anything you’re worried about misplacing — NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin uses them on her TV remotes, glasses case and work ID badge. Like other Tile trackers, they connect to the Tile app, which shows you the item’s last location and lets you ring the tracker.

Best Black Friday computer and tablet deals

Apple iPad (10th Generation)

4.8-star average rating from 20,056 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

If you are buying your first ever tablet, this is the one I would recommend. The 10th generation iPad has a bevy of improvements over the 9th generation version, including a larger, more detailed screen, dual stereo speakers, a higher megapixel camera, and a magnetically-attaching Apple Pencil. It comes in four bright colors.

Apple MacBook Air 13” (M3)

4.5-star average rating from 339 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

If you are in the market for a new laptop, this is the sale to pounce on. The NBC Select team has used different MacBook Air laptops for years — we love the high-resolution screen, travel friendly size and long battery life (up to 18 hours). This is Apple’s latest model, upgraded with the newest M3 chip and 16GB of memory by default for improved all-around performance and support for Apple Intelligence features.

Apple iPad (9th Generation)

4.9-star average rating from 29,089 reviews at Best Buy

This is Apple’s most affordable tablet. It can handle the basics: think streaming TV, video chatting with friends and finding cooking recipes. The speakers are lacking compared to newer iPads like the iPad 10th Generation and iPad Air, but the price isn’t. This model was discontinued earlier this year, so supply may be limited.

Best Black Friday TV and streaming deals

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

4.8-star average rating from 2,021 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

This is one of the best streaming devices, especially if you own a lot of other Amazon products. It’s the brand’s fastest streaming stick, delivering smoother streaming and scrolling than previous models. Malin has one plugged in behind her TV, and it syncs easily with her other Amazon devices like her Echo speakers.

Hisense U6 Series 55” TV

4.3-star average rating from 225 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Hisense makes some of the best budget TVs — this one is on sale for less than $500, but still has a 4K resolution mini-LED display. Like other mini-LED TVs, it has high color contrast and brightness, making it well-suited to combating natural light in rooms with lots of windows. This model has Google TV streaming built-in.

Best Black Friday gaming deals

HyperX Cloud II Wired Gaming Headset

4.6-star average rating from 246 reviews at HyperX

These are one of our favorite gaming headsets, with a comfortable fit and minimalist aesthetic fit for gamers who don’t need flashing lights on all their accessories. They are wired and compatible with almost all computers and gaming consoles — if it has a headphone jack, there’s a good chance these will work.

All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Select’s previous coverage and reporting. I also included products the NBC Select staff tested, including Travel Award and Giftable Tech Award winners. Most of the deals I recommend are at least 20% off and highly rated with at least a 4.0-star average rating, with some exceptions for products released in the past two months. When possible, I ran deals through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure products are at their lowest price in at least three months.
