The LG C4 OLED swept the What Hi-Fi? Awards this year with its 42-inch and 48-inch models (this 65-incher earned a five-star review too). We praised it for its brightness, colours and even its built-in sound. It's also hands-down the best gaming TV we've come across this year.

Other sizes:
42-inch for AU$2,199 AU$1,245 (AU$1,195 for eBay Plus members)
48-inch for AU$2,499 AU$1,725

This fabulous 77-inch OLED TV has hit its lowest-ever price. The 65-inch LG C4 (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.

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. Our No.1 65-inch premium TV recommendation, if you can afford it over the LG C4 above.

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 seems to be a fine choice. As we said in our four-star review of the step-up U8N, you may 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$1,375
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.

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$1,915
The fact that the only real niggle we could find with the premium LG 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.

Save AU$60
The more powerful sibling to the Fire TV Stick 4K, the TV Stick 4K Max offers improved Wi-Fi performance and a faster processor – letting you traverse every major streaming service easily and lag-free. It delights with its expansive app compatibility and thorough HDR format support, even if its sound lacks dynamism. Great value for Black Friday.

The Fire TV Stick 4K is down 51% to AU$49.

We haven't tested this model, but essentially it's the same as the QuietComfort just with a soft case (hence the SC) as opposed to a hard one. The QC are a light update on the QuietComfort 45 we gave four stars to. Here, you can expect decent sound and class-leading noise-cancelling at this level.

Save AU$33
Sony's most affordable wireless headphones, the WH-CH520 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

Save AU$89.95
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, although now not quite the cheapest we've ever seen. Five stars

Save AU$205
They may have a successor in the XM5, but we still rate the Sony XM4 incredibly highly, especially now they're regularly discounted – albeit not often as much as they are now for Black Friday. They deliver a thoroughly detailed performance alongside a confident low-end. They're also especially comfortable and fold away neatly for easy travel.
Five stars

Even with this 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.

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$150
There isn't a lot we didn't like in our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones review. They deliver a rich, full-bodied sound that's punchy and dynamic. As expected, noise cancellation is best in class, and they even fold away easily (something that can't be said of their peers). We've seen these go to AU$450 before, but this is still a decent discount.

Save AU$30
Aiming to be a much more affordable alternative to premium noise cancelling headphones, the Anker Soundcore Space One headphones use a 4-mic hybrid noise-cancelling system that claims to block up to 98% of outside noise. Sound delivery is taken care of by 40mm double-layer diaphragm drivers, and there's even support for LDAC for hi-res audio both wirelessly and wired.

Save AU$204.95
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. The price here is an increase over the Cyber Weekend, but still one we can recommend.

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

Save AU$34.95
If your budget won't stretch to Sony's flagship AU$445 XM5 or previous AU$324 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 49% 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. Five stars

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.

Save AU$74
A small saving, but one that's definitely welcome. The Roam 2 is Sonos' latest portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speaker, and one that delivers decently detailed and clear sound that goes louder than you might expect it to for its size. Automatic TruePlay ensures its always perfectly calibrated and you can adjust the EQ settings from within the app. Also available directly from Sonos for AU$229.

Save AU$50
The Echo Pop is down to a super low price of AU$29, which is a massive 63% off. Launched as a cheaper, more colourful alternative to the Echo Dot, the Pop looks like a Dot sliced in half.

The five-star Era 300 is a truly versatile speaker. It supports stereo and spatial Dolby Atmos audio and accepts streams via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

With its huge scale of engaging sound, wide range of features and seamless Sonos experience, the Era 300 is an impressive speaker that can do it all. Five stars

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.

Our favourite Dolby Atmos soundbar system, the Samsung HW-Q990D is what our expert reviews team called "a hugely compelling package overall" thanks to its big, immersive and three-dimensional sound. It's not only a superb choice for movie enthusiasts but also gamers courtesy of its twin 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 inputs. Five stars

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 if you can't afford the new AU$1799 Arc Ultra. Five stars

Save AU$1,500.95
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 AU$1,500 shaved off, it's still hard to ignore. Five stars

Save AU$254
This Sony HT-A3000 soundbar delivers cinematic Dolby Atmos sound for a relatively affordable price. Expect Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2 and HDMI eARC support and a dynamic, muscular sound with clear dialogue. Four stars

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. Five stars

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. Use the coupon code SAVEBF to bring the price down to AU$285.

While we haven't tested this turntable ourselves and it has some mixed reviews online, Yamaha is no slouch when it comes to its turntables – it makes some seriously good ones. It has a built-in pre-amp, so you won't need a phono stage, and can connect it to any active speaker. Pairing it with a stereo amp or receiver, though, promises maximum vinyl impact.

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 128GB model in all colours, however, the 256GB model is also discounted. We haven't reviewed this model, 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$192
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.
