Black Friday is officially here and Best Buy is offering notable deals during the event. You’ll find sales on TVs, laptops, headphones and more, many of which run through Cyber ​​Monday. The retailer is adding new offers in-store, online and through the Best Buy app through December 20, while supplies last.

I regularly cover shopping events as a tech reporter for NBC Select, and I’ve scoured discounts to find the best Black Friday Best Buy deals that are actually worth shopping for. Every copy I recommend below is highly rated and deeply discounted. Where possible, I’ve routed deals through price trackers to ensure they’re the lowest price in at least three months. I will update this list regularly during Black Friday.

Best Black Friday Best Buy deals

I’ve found, vetted, and written about every deal I recommend below. I worked with NBC Select editors to finalize the live list, which I regularly update during Black Friday to reflect the most up-to-date prices.

Laptops and tablets

Apple iPad (9th generation)

Average rating of 4.9 stars out of 28,875 reviews at Best Buy

The 9th generation iPad is Apple’s most affordable iPad and can easily do the tasks I need most on any good tablet: streaming TV, loading cooking recipes, and video chatting with friends and family. The speakers and screen are a bit lackluster compared to newer iPads like the iPad 10th generation and iPad Air, but the iPad 9th generation costs significantly less than those alternatives.

The iPad 9th generation was discontinued earlier this year, so this sale may only last while supplies last.

Headphones and speakers

JBL clip 5

Average rating of 4.8 stars out of 50 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

The JBL Clip 5 is our favorite outdoor Bluetooth speaker due to its compact size and built-in carabiner. We’ve attached it to backpacks, belt loops, exercise bikes, shower curtain rods, kitchen cabinet handles and the list goes on. According to the brand, it’s also IP67 waterproof and dustproof – we’ve used it at pool parties with no problems.

Bose QuietComfort wireless headphones

Average rating of 4.8 stars out of 1,100 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

These are some of the lightest and most comfortable over-ear headphones I’ve tested. I’ve never felt the need to drop them off, even on flights longer than five hours. Plus, they’re our favorite over-ear headphones for travel and winner of the Giftable Tech Award. Airplane noises and other loud noises disappear thanks to a strong noise-canceling mode. They also come with a wired cable for backrest entertainment and a durable carrying case that allows you to easily carry them in your travel backpack or weekend bag.

Jabra Elite 10 wireless earbuds

Average rating of 4.3 stars out of 291 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

Jabra makes some of our favorite wireless earbuds, and this is one of their latest models, with all the features you’d expect from a premium set of earbuds – think noise cancellation, hear-through, wireless charging, Dolby Atmos support and auto-pause music when you remove an earplug. The earbuds have a battery life of up to six hours with noise cancellation on, but the charging case increases that to a maximum of 27 hours.

TVs and streaming devices

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Average rating of 4.8 stars out of 1,992 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

This is the latest version of Amazon’s popular Fire TV Stick, with the fastest speeds for the smoothest viewing experience, according to the brand. It’s NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin’s go-to streaming device because it’s small, stays hidden behind her TV and syncs with her other Amazon devices like her Echo speakers.

Samsung QN90C Series 65-inch TV

Average rating of 4.8 stars out of 563 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

This 2023 model is one of the best TVs for bright rooms because it gets very bright and has high color contrast. It uses mini LED lights in the panel that display a more vivid image over wider viewing angles than regular LEDs. Like most TVs we recommend, it has a 4K resolution screen, ideal for gaming, and multiple HDMI 2.1 ports for connectivity.

Hisense U6 Series 55-inch TV

Average rating of 4.7 stars out of 101 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

Hisense is known for making cheaper TVs that don’t do that Look cheap – this U6 series TV retails for less than $500, but uses mini LEDs in the display, a rarity at this price. Like other mini LED TVs, it can get very bright and has high color contrast, making it well suited for brighter rooms. This model has Google TV streaming built-in.

Home and smart house

Hoto Electric Air Pump Advanced

Average rating of 4.6 stars out of 25 reviews at Best Buy

Lowest price ever

An electric air pump is a convenient way to automatically inflate the tires of your bicycle or motorcycle, without the hassle of a manual bicycle pump. This model can be used to inflate car, motorcycle or bicycle tires, but also for football or basketball. You can set the desired voltage yourself or use a preset. Please note that electric air pumps are noisy, much noisier than using a bicycle hand pump for example.

Blink Mini 2 Security Camera

Average rating of 4.5 stars out of 141 reviews at Best Buy

This is one of the cheapest home security cameras we recommend. It’s a good option for someone who wants to try out a smart home camera without making a huge upfront investment. Unlike the original, the Mini 2 is IP65 water and dust resistant and can be used outdoors if you pair it with a weatherproof power adapter.

Eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi System

Average rating of 4.7 stars out of 2,430 reviews at Best Buy

This is one of the best WiFi routers for large homes that need stable coverage across multiple floors and outdoor areas. This bundle comes with two routers that sync together to cover up to 3,000 square feet at speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps, the brand said.
