When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is Friday, Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving. Traditionally, Black Friday sales were reserved for in-person shopping for one day only. In recent years, Black Friday promotions have begun in early November, and most of the best deals are available online. Cyber Monday is Monday, Dec. 1, and is another opportunity to shop end-of-year deals.
Are headphones really cheaper during Black Friday?
Yes, headphones and earbuds are typically cheaper during Black Friday. Some models released this year will see discounts for the first time, while older models can now receive even deeper discounts, as new models are on the market.
How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?
Typically, ZDNET chooses Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals based on the depth of their discount (preferably 20% or more) and our hands-on testing. Many of the models featured on this list have been tested and worn extensively throughout the year.
When headphones and earbuds are on sale, we compare the sale prices across retailers, as they sometimes vary. We keep an eye on prices throughout the year, comparing them to declare which annual sale offers the best discounts. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing, in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
