Black Friday is behind us but if you thought that was the end of the sales madness, think again: Cyber Monday is here and there are still some fantastic deals to be had!
Some deals are now dead and buried but a lot of the best savings from last week and over the weekend are still available as we enter the final hours of Cyber Monday. In some instances, there are even new, extra discounts to be had on all manner of kit, including some of the best TVs, headphones, hi-fi speakers, AV receivers and more.
Our expert team of tech reviewers has over 100 years of collective experience in the industry, and we've been searching high and low for the lowest prices on the best products that we have actually tried, tested and can genuinely recommend. A big discount on a bad product isn't a good deal, so you'll find none of those here.
If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt yourself, you can of course skip our advice and head straight to all the Amazon Cyber Monday deals yourself – let us know if you find any cracking deals that we haven't flagged.

Cyber Monday FAQ
When is Cyber Monday 2023?
Cyber Monday 2023 will be Monday 27th November.
Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means this year it will fall on Friday 24th November. Cyber Monday is always the Monday after.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday began in the US but in recent years has very much become a worldwide shopping phenomena. 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 in to the "black" (profit). Hence Black Friday.
What about 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.
Where to get the best Cyber Monday deals?
The dominant names in retail, such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target will no doubt want to go big during Cyber Monday 2023, while the Sony WF-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5 are likely to be some of the biggest sellers when it comes to headphones.
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, CD players, hi-res music players and more. World Wide Stereo usually has lots of specialist deals.
We're confident the specialist audio and home theater retailers will deliver some hi-fi and home theater bargains – this year's What Hi-Fi? Award-winners are a good place to start when it comes to finding a price reduction.
How long will Cyber Monday last?
Well, 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 between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And some deals might last until Christmas, with the festive shopping mania in full swing.
Are the Cyber Monday deals any good?
After the initial few years of excitement around Cyber Monday, we naturally moved to the apathy stage, as people began to question whether the offers were genuinely good deals. It remains up for debate.
For example, it's not unusual to see discounted products rise in price in the weeks ahead of a Cyber Monday "price cut"; naturally 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.
Luckily that's where we come in; we'll handpick the best TV, audio and AV deals across retailers to find the ones that are really worth your hard-earned cash.
We'd suggest having a rough idea of what you want in mind – whether that be and LG OLED TV, Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless headphones, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, Alexa and Echo smart home devices, Apple AirPods, Samsung smartphones or Apple iPads. That said, be prepared to compromise; a similar product of a similar quality might offer better value for money thanks to a Cyber Monday price cut.
To avoid any doubt, we'll always try to highlight when a product falls to its "lowest ever" price. That way, you can be sure that you don't end up the victim of the retail industry's Cyber Monday shenanigans.
