We're always on the hunt for a great speaker deal, and while prices vary wildly throughout the year, we've found some of the biggest discounts across the best speakers on the market as Black Friday gets serious.

There are excellent savings on five-star and What Hi-Fi? Award-winning speakers as highlighted below, and we've divided the deals below into wireless speakers and passive stereo speakers so you can make the best choice for your home audio needs.

We're expecting many of the models below to enjoy major discounts on the day of Black Friday (November 29th), but prices are tumbling in the run-up to the main event. Some models inevitably enjoy bigger drops than others, though, with wireless speakers (barring Apple's HomePods range) tending to fall considerably. Larger passive speakers, including floorstanders and bookshelf models, are also expected to fall, though discounts can vary from retailer to retailer, with some major brands generally eschewing discounts altogether. Where possible, we've included links to the biggest savings at the appropriate retailer, be it Peter Tyson, Richer Sounds, Sevenoaks or, of course, Amazon.

Every product listed below has been tried and tested by our experienced in-house reviewers, so we can guarantee that we are only recommending products that we know and rate highly. So check out our hand-picked recommendations on the best deals on superb speakers below during this Black Friday period.
