Audio-loving friends, for me Black Friday is important for two main reasons. Firstly, because money always seems to be tight at this time of year, and second, because the Holiday Season is approaching and I want everyone to have something to open.

And the good news is that some of these earbuds options really are cheap enough to be that something. Earbuds costing over $300? That’s so 2019…

As well as this earbuds deals roundup, I write and regularly update TechRadar’s guide to the best earbuds, the best budget earbuds (yep, those are my hands in the lead images) but crucially, those guides don’t offer the Black Friday deals I’m about to give you.

One quick thing: please don’t read this missive, click through to one of the big retailers, go off on a tangent and buy a set of buds that neither myself nor the wider TechRadar team has mentioned or reviewed. Or, if you do, just don’t ask me to recommend it retrospectively. The thing is, the these deals (and only these deals) are the ones I’ve reviewed and tested – that’s why I’m recommending them to you.

Not after earbuds this Black Friday? That’s OK, TechRadar’s more general (but still personally curated, and only containing deals we personally love) Black Friday deals page will send you on the right path. Otherwise, I’ve also got a roundup of the best Sennheiser headphones and earbuds deals, my collection of the best Bose Black Friday headphones deals or our dedicated Black Friday headphones deals live blog, if that’s what you’re after. going – and remember to always enjoy the music.
