Focal Elegia was £799 now £329 at Sevenoaks (save £470)
We're astonished that a pair of headphones are enjoying such a massive discount, so this could mean that the Elegia, which are now a few years old, are nearing the end of their lifespan. If that's the case, it could be time to snap up a pair of the Focal Elegia at the lowest price they've ever been, and probably the lowest price they ever will be.

We thought these Sonys had already seen their final and lowest deal price, but we were wrong: the XM4 are only £179 for Black Friday and well worth snapping up if you want solid premium all-rounders but cannot afford the extra £80-120 newer models from Sony, Bose and Sennheiser cost.

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".

Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED 65in was £1000 now £849 at Amazon (save £151)
The Amazon Omni is a much better TV than its original £1000 price suggested, so with this deal, it's a serious bargain. Its picture is really balanced and consistent, it supports all HDR formats and it's got really good gaming specs as long as you don't need 120Hz. And, of course, it runs the Fire OS platform, which features more or less every app under the sun.

At this size and price, you're not going to get a flagship performance, but what you do get with the TCL SF540K is surprisingly solid and balanced Full HD picture quality and the very smart Fire TV platform, which features every streaming app that most people will ever need. The sound is weak, but that's unfortunately par for the course at this level.

While we reviewed the slightly larger size of this TV, we're confident that all of its positive attributes will apply to this 55-inch version. This Panasonic is brilliantly accurate when it comes to colours, is talented when displaying HDR content and it even sounds better than most TVs thanks to the built-in soundbar. Five stars

Sony's first 42-inch OLED is a high-end treat, particularly if picture authenticity is your priority. It sounds great by TV standards, too. The 42-inch LG C2 is still overall the better buy, given its much lower price, but there are many who will feel it's worth spending the extra on this Sony. Five stars

For a very reasonable price, the Sony WH-CH720N are a nicely made, enthusiastic-sounding pair of headphones that, while occasionally straying into the realm of excessive bass, are far more refined and detailed than the excessively brash ULT Wear.

The Focal Bathys' name refers to a bathysphere, the deep-sea submersible used for exploring the ocean depths, an apt moniker considering that, like the aforementioned vessel, their price is also sinking rapidly.

Possibly the best wireless headphones we've ever heard – and the one that kickstarted this new premium class of cans – are available at a great discount across all finishes. They're still pricey, but saving £200 off the original price is a great deal in our books, especially for headphones that sound this good without wires!

It's finally happened! The Dali Katch G2 was released years ago, but prices never fell as they usually do for almost any other rival Bluetooth speaker.

Black Friday FAQ

When is Black Friday 2024?

The Black Friday 2024 date is Friday 29th November. Cyber Monday 2024 will be Monday 2nd December.

Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means this year it will fall on Friday 29th November. Most retailers will want to make the most of what will typically be the busiest 24 hours of the event, meaning we can expect deals going live at midnight and running until the end of the day.

Of course, you can rest assured that Black Friday will stretch out longer than just 24 hours – those days are long gone. Instead, expect at least a week of build-up, maybe longer, from many retailers. And of course, the Black Friday sales continue through to Cyber Monday, which is always the Monday after Black Friday.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday began on the other side of the Atlantic but in recent years has very much become a worldwide and UK shopping phenomenon. It's regarded (and backed up by stats) as the busiest shopping day of the year – both online and in-store – and officially kicks off the holiday season.

Why is it called Black Friday? The date was traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season when retailers hoped to move out of the "red" (loss) and into the "black" (profit), hence Black Friday. Cyber Monday is the online equivalent to Black Friday, and was created to give smaller websites a chance to compete with larger retailers.

What is Cyber Monday?

The term 'Cyber Monday', meanwhile, was coined by Scott Silverman and the National Retail Federation's Ellen Davis in a bid to encourage people to take their shopping online during the Black Friday event. That was back in 2005, when people needed such encouragement! It's always the Monday after Black Friday.

Well, Black Friday is 24 hours. And Cyber Monday is 24 hours. But like other big sales events, you always have preliminary and aftermath offers.

For one, deals will run during the weekend sandwiched in the middle of the two days. And in the days and weeks building up to them, there will be plenty of early Black Friday deals flooding the internet.

Are Black Friday deals any good?

After the initial few years of excitement around Black Friday in the UK, we naturally moved to the apathy stage, as people began to question whether the offers were genuinely good deals. And it remains up for debate.

For example, it's not unusual to see discounted products rise in price in the summer months ahead of a "price cut" come Black Friday; this means you're essentially just getting the original discounted price from earlier in the year. That said, there are always genuine deals to be had – it's just finding them amongst the onslaught of offers.

That's where we come in; we'll handpick all the the best TV, audio and AV deals across retailers to identify the genuine Black Friday 2024 deals. And don't forget: you can always refer back to our in-depth reviews to check up on a specific product's performance, features and value for money.

It's best to have a rough idea of what you want in mind – whether that be noise-cancelling wireless headphones under £200, a discounted 55-inch 4K OLED TV or a cheap record player – but restricting yourself only to specific models will reduce your chance of being lucky in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Pick the features you fancy, then see what ticks your boxes and has the best Black Friday discount.

What Black Friday deals can you expect?

LG OLED TVs, JBL Bluetooth speakers, Sony wireless earbuds and Bose headphones, Alexa and Echo devices, Apple AirPods... you get the picture. Some of the most popular products of the year are almost guaranteed be on offer at pretty much every electronics retailer during Black Friday 2024.

Previous big-sellers over Black Friday also include the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), Sony WH-1000XM5 and WF-1000XM5, Amazon Echo and Fire products, Bose wireless earbuds and noise-cancelling headphones, UE speakers, Naim Mu-so products, Denon AV receivers, OLED TVs and plenty more.

The recent Amazon Prime Day in October gives us a good idea of what to expect. That saw new low prices on the older Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sonos Beam (Gen 2), big discounts on LG's C4 and Sony's Bravia 8 OLED TVs, and deals on all manner of hi-fi equipment. Here's hoping Black Friday proves even better.

Where to get the best Black Friday deals?

Amazon is obviously one of the biggest players. That's not only down to its size and ubiquity – it also discounts its own products by massive amounts. Considering they're already some of the most competitively-priced devices in their product areas, there are some real bargains to be had.

Its Echo speakers were reduced to better than half price in its recent Prime Big Deal Days sale (aka October Prime Day), so we would expect a repeat performance come Black Friday. Its Fire TV Sticks are also usually among the best deals going.

LG has already slashed the price of its excellent C4 OLED TV, so we're hoping it goes even further. Not to be outdone, Sony's new Bravia 8 fell in price substantially during the last Prime Day, so look out for another hefty discount.

There should also be bargains on older devices. Now that the Apple AirPods (2019) are no longer available from Apple, retailers could be hoping to clear stock. Sony's WH-1000XM4 are getting on now, so this could be their last Black Friday. LG's C3 OLED has been convincingly outperformed by its successor, the C4, whose price has actually dipped lower than the C3's in recent months. So the C3 could go for a song. Google recently launched the Google TV Streamer to replace the Chromecast with Google TV – eyes peeled for a discount on the latter.

We won't forget the hi-fi and home cinema kit, so will be on the lookout for deals on B&W and KEF speakers, not to mention 4K and portable projectors, AVRs, turntables and more.

We're confident the specialist AV retailers such as Richer Sounds and Sevenoaks will deliver some hi-fi and home cinema bargains – this year's What Hi-Fi? Award-winners are a good place to start when it comes to finding a price reduction.

    Better yet, from Currys this morning via email:

    "...the item you asked us to email you about, 65OLED806/12 65" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED TV with Google Assistant, won’t be coming back in stock "

    I didn't really want to give those muppets my money anyway, but does anyone know when or where I can get one of these? And can WHF update its 'deal' info?
