It goes without saying (but I'm saying it anyway) that the best Black Friday deals generally aren't on the products with the biggest discounts but on the class leaders that may perhaps have more modest savings. After all, you may be able to get 75 per cent off a wireless speaker on Amazon, but if it's a dud, all you're getting is a cheaper dud.

That's why, when you're looking for a new TV, soundbar, speaker or hi-fi component during this Black Friday week, I would recommend you start here, with our newly crowned What Hi-Fi? Award winners. We have called out these products as the best-value options in their field – and that's at the original price we tested them at. So with any Black Friday saving, big or small, they are even better value.

I haven't simply listed every What Hi-Fi? Award 2024 winner that is discounted below; I've been more selective, choosing only the deals I think are most worth your time and money.

Want to see our longer list of deals on five-star products and former What Hi-Fi? Award winners? Let me point you to our Black Friday 2024 UK deals hub. We also have live blogs tracking the best headphone, hi-fi and TV deals as they develop or disappear:

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 speakers was £599 now £449 at Peter Tyson (save £150)
Product of the Year

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 speakers was £599 now £449 at Peter Tyson (save £150)
In our five-star B&W 607 S3 review, we called these standmounts "entertaining in spades" and "a delight". They set the bar high for clarity, refinement and detail, but also have plenty in the way of punch and dynamism to entertain. Ideal for a step-up system and for small rooms, these superb mid-price speakers originally launched at £599 and then dipped to £549 for the best part of this year – so this is a great new low price.

The next-model-up 606 S3 are also current Award winners and £80 off at Peter Tyson.

A musically entertaining powered stereo speaker system that's compact, fuss-free and packs plenty of connectivity to plug in a laptop, TV, turntable or mobile device. The ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 were good value before, but this new Black Friday discount is a tremendous deal. What's more, it applies to all four finishes – black, blue, orange and walnut.

There's a reason the MXN10 has snagged back-to-back What Hi-Fi? Awards.

The D-M41DAB microsystem is one of our go-to recommendations for family and friends who want an affordable music system. It plays CDs, has Bluetooth and DAB/FM radio, and sounds fantastic for the price. Its compact size is easy to accommodate and you can add on any budget speaker (of which there are many) if you buy just the main unit. If you have a tight budget but want a no-fuss, versatile system with hi-fi chops, this affordable Denon should be on your shopping list.

Headphone Award winners

Rode NTH-100 wired headphones was £150 now £105 at PMT Online (save £45)

Rode NTH-100 wired headphones was £150 now £105 at PMT Online (save £45)
An exceptional pair of budget wired headphones, the Rode NTH-100 are the first headphones ever produced by the Australian audio brand. Given their dynamic, engaging sound, pleasing build and stylish exterior, we pray they're by no means the last. The discount is decent, but we should say that Amazon knocked them down to £69 last year, so you might want to hold off until Black Friday week begins.

Sony WF-C700N wireless ANC earbudswas £100 now £67 at Amazon (save £33)
New price drop

Sony WF-C700N wireless ANC earbuds was £100 now £67 at Amazon (save £33)
Boasting impressive musicality and excellent levels of detail and insight, these comfortable, sport-friendly earbuds are well worth even their non-discounted price. The WF-C700N offer 7.5 hours of battery life per charge, multipoint Bluetooth and IPX4 water resistance, plus noise-cancelling. They tend to float between the £65 and £75 price points during sales events, so we don't expect them to go much lower, if at all.

Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless ANC over-earswas £379 now £245 at Amazon (save £134)

Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless ANC over-ears was £379 now £245 at Amazon (save £134)
The latest and greatest Sony over-ear wireless noise-cancelling headphones are best in class in their premium field – and have been since they launched a couple of years ago. This saving over their original RRP naturally makes the Sony WH-1000XM5 even better performance-per-pound value. Great buys.

Sony WH-CH720N wireless ANC over-ears  was £99 now £64 at Amazon (save £35)

Sony WH-CH720N wireless ANC over-ears was £99 now £64 at Amazon (save £35)
Can't afford the Sony XM5 above? For a very reasonable price, the step-down Sony WH-CH720N are a dependably made, enthusiastic-sounding pair of headphones that, while occasionally straying into the realm of excessive bass, deliver good ANC and a strong feature set to the mid-to-low price bracket of the wireless headphone market. Most definitely a job well done, hence their repeat win at the 2024 Awards.
