Black Friday; it’s that time of year again when every company on earth throws out a million price reductions for you to sift through in order to actually find a good deal.

Luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of ten products across a range of tech categories that have genuine, worthwhile deals to take advantage of. Each product on this list has been reviewed by us and/or is used daily as part of our personal work setups.

Whether it’s Black Friday headphone deals you’re after or a discounted MacBook, we’ve got you covered! Here are our top 10 Black Friday tech deals.

1. Sony WF-C700N – Mid-range Earbuds

The Sony WF-C700N earbuds are already excellent value without a Black Friday discount at their standard price of $119/£99. As they are now going for as little as $99/£77 on Amazon for Black Friday, they are unmissable!

I reviewed the Sony WF-C700N earbuds recently and was blown away by not only how good they sounded, but also the range of features they have for such a low price.

The bass is deep enough for most tracks and thuds along nicely. They truly excel in mid-range frequencies which means these earbuds work as brilliant all-rounders; podcasts sound super crisp and intimate while only the most demanding songs begin to draw some distortion out.

They also come with noise cancelling and an Ambient Sound mode which, when activated, allows you to hear noises from the surrounding environment alongside whatever you are listening to.

You won’t be getting the absolute best in sound quality, but these aren’t $200+, studio-quality earbuds. If you want that standard, then read on! But the Sony WF-C700N earbuds are perfect for your next set of everyday earbuds.

2. Bose QuietComfort Ultra – High-end earbuds

Bose is one of the most popular headphone manufacturers out there. Their QuietComfort series is renowned for offering some of the best levels of sound quality and noise cancelling and the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are no different.

These are not any old earbuds, they raise the bar in pretty much all departments. With 9.3mm drivers, there isn’t a music genre they can’t handle whilst offering an exciting and engaging audio profile.

Put simply, they are the best sounding earbuds we’ve ever reviewed.

When you add onto that unbeatable noise cancelling that matches that of over-ear headphones, then you get a very compelling case to purchase.

They are expensive; the RRP is $299/£299. But on Black Friday, you can find them on Amazon at a huge discount of $80/£80. For $219, the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are absolutely worth it if you want the best money can buy.

3. Sony WH-1000XM5 – Headphones

If earbuds aren’t your thing or you just want a pair of over-ear headphones too, then you can’t go wrong with the Sony WH-100XM5.

They aren’t our absolute favourite headphones, you can read Mark’s Sony Ace review for that, but they do offer the best value for money. Headphones that aim for audiophile levels of sound quality start to push the $500 mark so if you aren’t fussed about that, you can happily look into the XM5s.

The noise cancelling on the XM5s is incredibly good, better than competitors like the Bose QC45 headphones. Sound quality is also smashed out of the park across any frequency you throw at them. No matter what track you throw at them, the XM5s never devolve into muddy distortions.

Again, we’re not talking studio-quality here, but they are brilliant everyday consumer headphones. They usually cost $399/£380 which isn’t cheap, but on Amazon Black Friday, the XM5s are going for as little as $320/£320!

4. M3 MacBook Air – Laptop

MacBooks are always the gold standard for Black Friday tech deals. Grabbing what are the best laptops on the planet for a discount is obviously worthwhile.

The best MacBook deals often come on the MacBook Air. Amazon is currently selling the latest M3 MacBook Air for $999/£999 which is such a massive bargain, I don’t really know what else to say.

For that money, you get the base-level model with 24GB of unified memory, 256GB of storage and the M3 chip. A laptop with these specs will last you a very long time so it is money well spent.

5. Benks Infinity Magnetic iPad Stand – iPad accessory

If you own an iPad and don’t use an iPad stand yet then boy have I got something revolutionary for you.

If you ever use your iPad for recipes, watching content, reading or typin with a wireless keyboard, then an iPad stand should be an essential part of your setup. Owning one just makes like easier. No more propping your expensive iPad up against some household item to then have it slam down or fall over.

Our favourite is the Benks Infinity Magnetic iPad Stand. The Benks stand changes all of this uses magnets so you can attach a compatible iPad and turn it into any orientation or slant without worrying about it falling off.

You can pick one up directly from Benks at a 20% discount for $65/£59. Thank me later!

6. Logitech MX Master 3S – Mouse

If you’ve recently bought an iPad or Mac Mini and are looking for a mouse to use with it, don’t buy Apple’s Magic Mouse. It is anything but magic.

What you actually need is an ergonomic mouse with useful buttons and a responsive optical tracker. The Logitech MX Master 3S offers you that in spades.

It feels incredible in the hand, not a cramp in sight. It’s weighty enough to sit nicely on a desk but also compact for any travelling needs. It goes with Mark on all of his travels. There are mappable buttons and scrollers to it is customisable too.

If you are after a wireless mouse then look no further than the Logitech MX Master 3S.

7. OnePlus Watch 2R – Smartwatch

The OnePlus Watch 2R is a smartwatch that perfectly blends a premium look, excellent software and a low price. It does everything you’d expect like track your health, record workouts and evaluate your sleep quality whilst looking the part too.

People often struggle to look past the biger name brands like the Google Pixel Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch but OnePlus make excellent tech. As anyone who has used their phones will know, they offer excellent value for money.

The 2R is the cheaper version of the 2 which is made from stainless steel instead of aluminium. If you’re an Android user then the OnePlus Watch 2R is a no-brainer, being the best value smartwatch we’ve reviewed this year.

Thanks to Black Friday, it is even better value. Original retailed at $230/£249, OnePlus have dropped the price to $169/£169.

8. Benks – Cases

Black Friday is an ideal time to pick up a phone case as they are one of the most common items to be discounted.

We’ve been a long-time admirer of Benks’ kit, as you can tell from our love of their iPad stand. Their phone cases similarly offer robust designs that look stylish and come at a reasonable price.

If you’ce got an expensive phone like the iPhone 16 Pro Max then you need to protect it. We use the Aurora ArmorPro case from Benks everyday. It is made from reinforced 600D Kevlar, includes raised lens protection and is MagSafe compatible. It is also super thin, hardly altering the profile of the phone in your hands.

If you want something even lighter then the Aurora ArmorPro case is made from the same materials but is, well, lighter!

You can find all of Benks’ cases here as well as some extra accessories like their MaClap Phone Grip & Stand.

9. Vernal – Desk

When it comes to standing desks, there is only one king; Vernal.

We’ve recently rearranged our testing studio and upgraded some of the furniture. For the desks, we’ve used Vernal and instantly realised what a difference a good quality desk makes. Often standing desks are flimsy, narrow and unnervingly wobbly, especially if you grab a cheap one from Amazon.

We’ve been using Vernal’s basic Standing Desk which comes in a range of colours like Walnut and Black and is made from sustainable bamboo wood. 

The desk has a height range from 22.8 to 48.4 inches (about 58 to 123 cm), so it’s suitable for anyone from 4’9″ to 6’7″ (around 145 to 200 cm). The lifting capacity is 160kg. Vernal’s desk feel so sturdy even at maximum height so they are absolutely worth investing in.

There’s a range of accessories too to kit out your desk such as shelves and keyboard drawers.

Vernal’s desks are well-priced on Black Friday at $389/£469, a massive $250/£150 discount!

10. HBADA – Chair

Continuing on form that studio renovation I was just talking about, new chairs were also in order. We opted for HBADA, specifically the HBADA E3 Pro Ergonomic Office Chair.

All you really need to know is it is very comfortable and supportive.

But for the details people, it has 8-way adjustable lumbar support, 140° recline, adjustable armrests and a gravity-sensing chassis that adapts to your weight and posture. Setting up the chair is smooth and quick, and it’s BIFMA certified, ensuring it meets durability and quality standards.

The E3 Pro is currently at its lowest price of the year with 30% off meaning a saving of $350/£350.
