These are the only early Black Friday earbuds and headphones deals worth buying – and I know because I tested them all (and rated them highly) in 2025

Here’s something most deals roundups won’t offer: a full review of the discounted product, written by the curator of the piece. But that’s what I’m giving you – because this is my full-time job (I know right? Crazy what they’ll pay people to do these days… ) and even if I do say so myself, I know great audio kit.

As well as this deals summary, I’ve written guides to the best earbuds, the best budget earbuds (yep, those are my hands in the lead images) and the best headphones – but crucially, those guides don’t divulge the current deals I’m about to give you.

Whatever you do this Black Friday, please don’t read this missive, click through to Amazon, get sidetracked by savings and buy a set that neither myself nor the wider TechRadar team has mentioned or reviewed to date, because the discount was huge and you reckon they’re probably the same. Or, if you do, just don’t don’t come to me about it. Because these deals (and only these deals) are the ones I’ve reviewed, tested, and recommended to you.

Not after earbuds or headphones? 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, keep going – and remember to always enjoy the music.
