The LG C4 OLED swept the What Hi-Fi? Awards this year with its 42-inch and 48-inch models (this 65-incher settled for a five-star review).

Make sure to enter the code you see, depending on whether you're an eBay Plus member or not. Both will get you an extra AU$120 saving off the already discounted price.

This fabulous 77-inch OLED TV has hit its lowest-ever price. The 65-inch version (above) is a great TV for movies and an even better one for gaming, so fingers crossed the larger size replicates that greatness. This heavily reduced price is a real surprise this early in the TV's life. Read our LG C4 review

Our Product of the Year in the TVs category, the Sony Bravia 8 is nothing short of outstanding. Alongside its natural, detailed image is an exceptional built-in audio system that can often negate the need for a soundbar. With this Black Friday discount, it's even harder to pass up. Our No.1 65-inch premium TV recommendation, if you can afford it over the LG C4 above.

Samsung's thoroughly impressive flagship OLED TV leverages QD-OLED display technology with an innovative anti-glare feature that makes it a dream to use in bright living rooms. It's also a stellar performer where picture is concerned, and its flawless gaming specification is only matched by its LG counterpart. Five stars

If you want to go really big but on a modest budget, the 85-inch TCL C805K is for you. It's huge, bright, great with HDR and has very good gaming specs. As we said in our review, it's "a dream come true for home cinema fans who aren’t lucky enough to have limitlessly deep pockets". With this hefty saving, it's definitely a big-screen bargain.

If you're on a budget but want to make the absolute most of your money, the Hisense U7N is a fine choice. You will need to tinker with the picture a little more than with more expensive models to get the best result, but do so, and you'll be rewarded with a lovely image that's full of colour and exhibits good brightness. Gaming support is also great.

Save AU$1,345
An update to the previously Award-winning C845, the TCL C855 goes even further where brightness control is concerned thanks to a major increase in dimming zones. While we haven't yet reviewed this updated model, our friends over at TechRadar said it delivered "stunning picture quality" and overall represented "great value". Another seemingly excellent choice for those on a tighter budget.

Save AU$1,041
The update to the excellent S90C, the S90D promises to continue Samsung's winning ways with a super bright panel, excellent colours and contrast, and stellar gaming support. As with all Samsung TVs, it goes without Dolby Vision, but if you can look past that, you'll be the owner of a sensational screen.

Save AU$1,928
The fact that the only real niggle we could find with LG's premium G4 was its audio performance should tell you everything you need to know. A step up over the C4 above, This is one of the best OLED TVs to be released this year, though it does carry a premium price tag. We'll be hoping it drops a little further in price come Black Friday itself, but this is still a fantastic saving regardless.

Want to give your TV all the high-tech streaming bells and whistles? The Apple TV 4K is our favourite premium video streamer. This is a small saving, we admit, and this one might come down further in price come Black Friday. But if you want to get your hands on one of the best media streamers for a little less than full price, now is your chance.

Sony's most affordable wireless headphones sacrifice as little quality as they possibly can, and the results are truly impressive: you won't get such a balanced, engaging sound anywhere else at this price. If getting value for money is your priority, you've just found your next pair. Five stars

The QC Ultra Earbuds are class leaders on the noise-cancelling front and sound wonderful too. They are nicely made and offer Immersive Audio support alongside Bluetooth Multipoint and a 24-hour battery. Solid options, now at the cheapest price we've seen them this Balck Friday. Five stars

A very attractive pair of studio headphones that prioritise detail and articulacy and are just as suitable for the home as they are the studio. If you’ve got a desktop hi-fi setup in need of new headphones, Beyerdynamic’s musical over-ears have many talents to admire. Five stars

They may have a successor in the XM5, but we still rate the Sony XM4 incredibly highly, especially now they're regularly discounted (and could go even lower for Black Friday). They delivered a thoroughly detailed performance alongside a confident low-end. They're also especially comfortable and fold away neatly for easy travel. Add FRENZY24 to the cart and get $40

Save AU$114.50
Even with a 13% discount we appreciate they're still not exactly cheap, but the Apple AirPods Max are an exceptional set of headphones that deliver a crisp and clear presentation, combined with excellent ANC. The deal price here is on the black model, but other colours can be picked up with a 10% discount.

Save AU$10
It's been a while since we thought about the AKG K52, having reviewed them in 2016, but if you're looking for an inexpensive set of comfortable over-ear headphones, they still mean business. In fact, when we did test them we couldn't find a single fault at all.

Save AU$78
A previous Award winner (only to be usurped by their C510 successor this year) the WF-C500 are compact, comfortable and serve up a delightful, balanced sound – especially for the money. They do go without ANC, but their passive noise isolation is decent enough to keep people happy.

Save AU$309.95
Strong contenders for best in class – especially at this heavily discounted price. We liked them so much that we had to give them the full five-star rating. They're lightweight, comfortable to wear, offer up to 60 hours of battery life and have excellent ANC. We were even impressed by its call quality, too. Now staggering value at Amazon – don't forget to tick the '$30 off' box to get this AU$315 price.

Apple's premium noise-cancelling in-ear headphones are now at a great low price for Black Friday. These five-star performers deliver excellent ANC, a detailed, powerful sound and seamless connectivity with iOS devices. Five stars

If your budget won't stretch to Sony's flagship AU$475 XM5 or previous AU$350 XM4 headphones, this more affordable noise-cancelling model makes sensible compromises to significantly lower the price, which is even better for Black Friday. These mid-range Sonys are What Hi-Fi? Award winners for their winning combination of class-leading sound at this level, all-day comfort and decent noise-cancelling. At this knockdown price, they're bona fide bargains.

Bowers & Wilkins' flagship wireless noise-cancelling over-ears may still be big money despite this 15% discount, but they certainly offer the luxury and performance to match. They are hugely capable performers that justify their hefty price with a combination of build and sound quality that cheaper alternatives simply can’t match. Aspirational and desirable, now below AU$1000 in four stylish finishes. Five stars

Save AU$195.64
Fancy yourself a sound designer or musician? The Sony MDR-M1 studio closed-back headphones might be the tech you've been looking for, specifically designed to cover an ultra-wide band frequency range (5Hz-80kHz) for studio use, though there's no reason they won't suit home use too.

We haven't reviewed this pair, but it's a seemingly great opportunity to snap up Samsung earbuds at a heavily discounted price, which beats the previous best price of AU$98. The Buds FE promise "powerful bass offering deep and rich sound" as well as active noise cancelling and a three-microphone system for clearer voice calls. You also get a long battery life – 8.5 hours with ANC off (six with it on), or up to 30 hours with the charging case. The Buds FE also include three different ear tip sizes in the box as well as two wing tip sizes so you can customise them to best fit your ears. This price is for the white version.

With top-notch sound and a durable waterproof build designed to withstand life's mishaps and challenges, the JBL Flip 6 is a sturdy, reliable bit of kit for enjoying tunes on the go. And now it's AU$73 off! We wouldn't expect this to drop much lower as Black Friday nears – perhaps only AU$10, if anything. Five stars

The chic little speaker delivers a pleasing yet authoritative performance that you'd be happy listening to all day. Throw in its stylish design plus the bonus of Alexa smarts, and you're looking at a top Bluetooth speaker.

Bar a couple of extra features, the SoundLink Flex is a Bluetooth speaker, pure and simple. Nothing wrong with that, especially when it does such a good job of it – which it certainly does, with a healthy battery life, element-resistant design and excellent sound quality. It's a lot of speaker for the money. Four stars

If it's a true party starting Bluetooth speaker you're after, the Bose SoundLink Max is happy to oblige, and it's now down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon. It gives out a huge, punchy sound from its robustly built enclosure, and a two-way USB-C port means it can used to charge your devices. Here, Bose wraps up excellent sound quality and an enjoyable user experience in an attractive, outdoor-friendly package. Five stars

Save AU$170
We haven't reviewed this Soundcore speaker, but it still comes across as a decent buy for this generously discounted price. The headline feature for this portable and tough Bluetooth speaker is hi-res audio support via Sony's LDAC codec – you will need a compatible source device. Battery life is rated at 13 hours.

Save AU$503
One of the best single-unit Dolby Atmos soundbars we've ever heard, the Sonos Arc is a great addition to any home. We rarely see discounts on it, especially one as big as this, making now a perfect time to snap one up. What's more, an extra AU$70 or AU$50 saving is possible depending on whether you're an eBay Plus member or not. Five stars

Save AU$1,949.95
The Sennheiser Ambeo Max soundbar is designed to fill an entire room with rich audio, capable of outputting up to 500 watts of power through its 30Hz speakers. It has in-built Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect functionality for when you want music on in the background, and its 3D sound can adjust to the characteristics of your room. That sound is incredible too – rich, dynamic, detailed and convincing in its surround effect. It's quite far off the cheapest price we've seen for the Ambeo Max (it has been as low as AU$1,970), but with almost AU$2,000 shaved off, it's still hard to ignore.

This is a good deal on what looks like a very good soundbar, though we haven't reviewed it. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, HEOS built-in and AirPlay 2 support combine to make it one of the more feature-rich of its kind we've seen.

The Sony HT-G700 soundbar and subwoofer package is big on sound and on value – for cinematic scale and weight, there are few better Dolby Atmos soundbars at this budget level. Decent value in light of this 15% discount. Four stars

The WiiM Pro Plus is the best affordable streamer to pass through our listening room. It's compact, affordable, sounds great and is packed with every popular streaming feature. It was a steal at full price but with AU$66 off? It almost feels too good to be true. What Hi-Fi? Award winner

Our favourite standmount speakers, winning a What Hi-Fi? Award in their price category as well as the most prestigious Product of the Year gong for a second year running. They set the bar high for clarity, refinement and detail, but also have plenty in the way of punch and dynamism to entertain. In our five-star B&W 607 S3 review, we called them "entertaining in spades" and "a delight". Even a price cut as modest as this one is welcome. What Hi-Fi? Award winner

Save AU$162
Surprisingly sophisticated standmounts for their size and price, these too are best in class at their level. The legendary Diamond line continues to live up to its legacy of offering great-value sound in an accessible package. The competition is tough at this end of the market, but the Diamond 12.1's detailed but easy-going nature, seamless and fluid midrange and their pleasing build and finish see them sit at the top of the game.

One of the best budget record players ever, Pro-Ject's Primary E is a current (and multiple) What Hi-Fi? Award-winner. Clear detail, even tonal balance and a spirited sense of drive and momentum make this bare-bones deck a great option for vinyl fans on a tight budget. It would make a fantastic first deck, too. A great saving makes it an even better budget Black Friday buy. What Hi-Fi? Award winner

An excellent choice for anyone making their first entry into the world of vinyl, this Sony Bluetooth turntable dishes out an entertaining sound. It has a built-in phono stage for easier connection to an amplifier (although you can bypass it if you wish). It's also a doddle to set up. You'll be spinning in no time.

Save AU$713
This wireless all-in-one system sequel is just as appealing and sounds even better than its original. It's taken what was already a winning formula and introduced some key upgrades that improve functionality – and the LSX II remains a talented set-up that sings with any genre of music sent its way. This fantastic AU$713 discount makes this an even more appealing buy, though it is very limited in stock.

These bookshelf speakers earned a five-star review and won a What Hi-Fi? Award winner previously, and now they’re cheaper than ever.

Apple's newly released iPhone 16 has received a rare discount through Amaysim, with AU$100 slashed from the price when you sign up on an eligible plan. Eligible plans are quite cheap, starting at AU$30 per month for 32GB of data and speed-capped 5G access. Tallied up, that brings the cost plus the plan to AU$1,329, which is still less than the standard iPhone 16 price. Other storage capacity options have received the same discount. The iPhone 16 Pro just won a What Hi-Fi?Award, suggesting the iPhone lineup is stronger than ever.

Samsung's FE (or Fan Edition) series offers current flagship features at a more affordable price point. In this instance, the Galaxy S24 FE brings over the much-hyped Galaxy AI functionality from the regular S24 range, including Circle to Search and generative AI for photo editing, while making some concessions in other areas, such as processor and camera. This price is for the 256G model in all colours, however, the 512GB model is also discounted. We haven't reviewed this mode, though we did find the S24 Ultra to be a "brilliant all-rounder", which bodes well for the other handsets in the S24 family.

Save AU$152
We haven't reviewed this exact Samsung tablet, but we've been impressed with the brand's other tablets in the past. It still promises to deliver useful features and last a long time with a claimed 20 hours of battery life. You also get an S Pen stylus included for scribbles and doodles. It won't have the power to replace a laptop, but as a secondary device for web browsing or media consumption on its 12.4-inch display, it could be a fine buy.
