The Best Amazon Black Friday Sale Deals so Far
Black Friday deals are here, with retailers like Home Depot and Amazon officially starting their sales today. On Amazon, you can find deals on Apple products, party speakers, headphones, TVs, and many other items at the lowest prices they’ve ever had, according to the price tracking tools I use. Here are the best early deals I’ve found so far.
Apple Watch Series 10 $70 off
The Apple Watch Series 10 dropped to $350 last week, but Black Friday saw the price drop further to $329 (originally $399). That’s impressive considering it’s Apple’s flagship product, which came out last month. According to Lifehacker associate tech editor Michelle Erhardt’s review , the Apple Watch Series 10 is the best Apple Watch for most people and a great replacement if you’re still wearing the more budget-friendly SE .
The 65-inch Hisense Google Smart TV is 40% off.
The Hisense Class U8 65-inch Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV costs $897 (originally $1,499.99), its lowest price ever. You’ll get 4K resolution with local dimming, which creates deeper shadows and richer colors for sharper contrast (it’ll be similar to OLED). This TV came out this spring and, according to PCMag’s review , is one of the best mid-range TVs with high picture quality.
The best Bose ANC headphones are $100 off.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones cost $329 (originally $429) and are the best active noise-canceling headphones of 2024 . These headphones were released in the fall of 2023, and many reviewers praised their overall quality, but received complaints about their price of almost half a thousand dollars. At the current discounted price, there’s no better value for money if you value top-tier ANC, sound and comfort.
My Favorite Party Speaker $200 Off
I’ve been lucky enough to try a lot of different party speakers for Lifehacker, and none of them compare to the enjoyment I had with the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 . It has the perfect combination of a fun app and physical features such as a DJ mixer that lets you play along to your music, dual microphone (or mic and guitar) inputs, on-command sound effects, long battery life, full EQ customization, and more. features that you can read about in my review . You can purchase it for $399.95 (originally $599.95), which is the lowest price currently available.
MacBook Air M2 drops to $250
The 16GB RAM version of the MacBook Air costs $749 (originally $999), and as tech editor Jake Peterson explains, it may be the last laptop you ever buy . The MacBook Air M2 came out in 2022, and judging by how Apple has supported the M1 so far, we can expect many years of support for the M2. It has a 13.6-inch screen with a screen resolution of 2560 by 1664 and a battery life of about 17 hours.
