The Best Deals From Amazon's Black Friday Sale So Far
Black Friday deals are here, with retailers like Home Depot and Amazon officially starting their sales today. Over at Amazon, you can find deals on Apple products, party speakers, headphones, TVs, and many other products for the lowest prices they have ever been, according to the price tracking tools I use. Here are the best early deals I have found so far.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is $70 off
The Apple Watch Series 10 just dropped to $350 last week, but because of Black Friday, it dropped further to $329 (originally $399). This is impressive given that it's is an Apple flagship product that came out last month. 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, according to Lifehacker's Associate Tech Editor Michelle Ehrhardt's review.
The 65-inch Hisense Google Smart TV is 40% off
The 65-inch Hisense Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV is $897 (originally $1,499.99), the lowest price it has been. You'll get 4K resolution with local dimming, which creates deeper darks and richer colors for a more dramatic contrast (it'll look close to an OLED). This TV came out this spring and is one of the best midrange TVs with a powerful image quality available, according to PCMag's review.
The best Bose ANC headphones are $100 off
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are $329 (originally $429) and are the best headphones in 2024 for active noise cancelation. These headphones launched in the fall of 2023 with many reviewers praising their overall quality, but earning complaints for their pricing, at almost half a grand. At their current discounted price, there is no better value for your money if you value top-tier ANC, audio, and comfort.
My favorite party speaker is $200 off
I've had the privilege of trying many different party speakers for Lifehacker, and none come close to the fun I've had with the JBL PartyBox Stage 320. It has the perfect mix of fun app and physical features, like a DJ mixer that lets you play with your music, inputs for two mics (or a microphone and guitar), special effect sounds on command, long battery life, full EQ customization, and more features that you can read about in my review. You can get it for $399.95 (originally $599.95), the lowest price it has been so far.
The M2 MacBook Air drops to $250
The 16 GB RAM version of the M2 MacBook Air, is $749 (originally $999), and as Tech Editor Jake Peterson explains, this could be the last laptop you ever buy. The M2 MacBook Air came out in 2022, and judging from how Apple still backs up the M1, you can expect many years of support for the M2. This is a 13.6-inch screen with a 2,560 by 1,664 resolution screen and a battery life of about 17 hours.
