Black Friday 2025: Live updates from Amazon, Dyson, Best Buy

Sony officially launched its PlayStation Black Friday sale on Nov. 21, and now Best Buy and other retailers have dropped their prices too. You can get a new PS5 console starting at just $399.99 and DualSense controllers for just $54.99.

Amazon is hosting a lightning deal on Sunday, Nov. 23 on the DJI Mic Mini. You can pick up this cult-favorite wireless microphone for just $59 if you hurry. Mashable tested (and loved) this microphone set, which you can spot in countless TikTok and YouTube videos in 2025.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to splurge on premium noise-cancelling headphones, this is it. Amazon has the Sony WH-1000XM5 marked down to $248 from $399.99, reducing the price by a substantial $151.99. The XM5s may not be Sony’s newest model anymore, but they still deliver the brand’s signature plush sound, industry-leading noise cancellation, and comfortable all-day fit.

When the XM6s cost nearly $200 more, opting for the XM5s at their lowest price ever on Amazon is the smart move.

If you have travel on the calendar or are just trying to squeeze in more gaming time away from your desk, the Lenovo Legion Go S is the kind of handheld that makes going portable genuinely enjoyable. Best Buy has it marked down to $649.99 from $899.99, a massive $250 savings that makes this one of the standout early Black Friday deals.

Despite being the smaller sibling of the original Legion Go, it still packs serious power: an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD (expandable via microSD). The 8-inch LCD screen, dual USB ports, built-in mic, and SteamOS support make it an easy pick for PC gamers who want their entire library on the go.

If you’re beefing up home security before the holiday chaos hits, Amazon has already slashed prices on some of its most popular Ring cameras. Whether you need a no-fuss indoor cam, a bright-as-day floodlight cam, or a weatherproof outdoor option that keeps watch 24/7, these early Black Friday deals are some of the best we’ve seen. Here are the standout markdowns worth grabbing:

The Instant Pot Vortex Mini Air Fryer is now $59.99, down from $89.99, a 33% Black Friday discount and its lowest price yet. It’s a compact 4-quart model that still manages to air fry, broil, bake, dehydrate, and reheat — all while allowing you to check progress through its built-in glass window, so you don’t lose heat mid-cook. Both the basket and tray are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup as effortless as the cooking itself.

If a new TV has been on your Black Friday wishlist, you’re in luck. Right now, Amazon has a lightning deal on the Hisense 100-inch E6 Cinema Series TV, which is now 50% off its usual price of $2,699.99 and going for just $1,350.49 for a very limited time. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this massive display.

This TV is all about bringing you the cinematic experience in your home, as its name implies. It uses QLED color to make your picture pop, with quantum dots that offer over a billion shades. Plus, Total HDR Solution gives you the deepest black hues you’ll find across these larger TVs. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10, and HLG. If you want superior audio, it also offers Dolby Atmos to give you that theater-like effect paired with its huge size.

The Coziley G1 Self-Cleaning Litter Box is now $254.99, down from $389.99, making it an easy upgrade for anyone tired of daily scooping. It utilizes eight sensors to safely detect your cat and pause cleaning, along with a triple-layer odor control system and a sealed waste bin to contain odors.

The companion app allows you to monitor activity and cleaning cycles, and it’s sized for cats weighing 2.5-18 lbs. A litter mat and trash bags are included, giving you a mostly hands-off setup right out of the box.

Big-name wearables from Fitbit, Garmin, and Samsung are already seeing steep drops, covering everything from simple step counters to full-on smartwatches with GPS, sleep tracking, and stress insights. If you’re shopping for a gift — or just want a wrist-based nudge to move more — these are the best early deals worth grabbing now.

Some of the biggest early markdowns are on the flashy, giftable tech: the DJI Osmo is already seeing a solid price drop, making it a no-brainer for anyone looking to elevate their travel videos or holiday content with buttery-smooth footage. Amazon also cut prices for some other big tech items. Check them out before time runs out:

Black Friday may still be days away, but Amazon has already decided the calendar is optional. The retailer quietly dropped a wave of early deals that feel more like the main event than the warm-up, slashing prices on everything from big-ticket tech to kitchen gadgets you didn’t realize you needed

If you want first dibs on the good stuff — before the inevitable “sorry, temporarily out of stock” messages roll in — these early Amazon Black Friday deals are absolutely worth jumping on now.

If you’ve ever hovered over a grill or oven wondering whether your chicken is actually done or if you’re about to serve “medium-rare” pork, the CHEF iQ Sense smart wireless thermometer is the stress-saving upgrade you need. On sale for $59.99 (down from $129.99), it’s built to take the guesswork out of cooking with real-time internal temperature updates, flip reminders, rest timers, and estimated cook times.

What sets this one apart is its five sensors — four inside the meat and one tracking ambient temperature — so it knows exactly what’s happening both in your protein and in your grill, oven, smoker, or air fryer. The 1000°F heat resistance and ultra-thin probe mean it won’t wreck your steak or dry out your chicken, and the battery life is genuinely impressive: up to 70 hours on a full charge, depending on the probe.

Black Friday battery deals aren’t glamorous — no one’s bragging about scoring 33% off AAs — but they are the quiet heroes of not having your entire life fall apart.

This is the time to grab those giant multi-packs of AA, AAA, and small FOB batteries that future-you will desperately need when the remote dies, the smoke detector beeps at 2 a.m., or a holiday toy demands four batteries you definitely don’t have. They’re not exciting, but they are practical, inexpensive, and guaranteed to save you from at least one meltdown later. Stock up now, thank yourself in January.

If your cat treats every hour like mealtime, the PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder is the kind of sanity-saver worth grabbing — especially at its Black Friday price of $54.99 (down from $89.99). It lets you schedule up to six meals a day, with portion sizes you can fine-tune so your pet actually sticks to a routine.

Plus, the feeder has dual power (USB-C plus battery backup), so it keeps working even during outages, and you can record a quick 10-second meal call to summon your pet like the tiny royalty they believe they are. At this price, it’s a low-stress upgrade for both you and your cat

The JBL Go 3 Eco is the rare tiny Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t sound tiny — and at $29.95 (down from $39.95) for Black Friday, it’s an easy yes. It’s the ultra-portable, eco-minded speaker you toss in a bag and forget about until the exact moment you need it, and then it wildly overperforms.

If you’re looking to upgrade beyond pocket-size, there are solid deals across the board: the Beats Pill in Champagne Gold is $99.95 (was $149.95), the Anker Soundcore drops to $19.99 (from $35.99), and the JBL Charge 6 is a hefty $129.95 (down from $199.95) — all strong picks depending on your volume needs and budget.

The Barbie DreamHouse is basically the Super Bowl of dollhouses — three stories, 10 play areas, a working elevator that fits four dolls, and more than 75 accessories packed into a 43-inch-tall pastel palace. Kids get lights, sound effects, music, a slide that drops straight into the pool, and even a puppy play zone because, of course, they do.

For Black Friday, it’s down to $134.99 from $242.99, a price drop that turns a “maybe” into an instant “add to cart.” If you want a gift that guarantees hours of chaos, storytelling, and tiny plastic cupcakes scattered across the house, this is the one.

We recommend taking some time to properly check out our rundown of the best Black Friday PS5 deals. We’re proud of the discounts we’ve found. We think you’ll be impressed.

For a quick snapshot of the games on offer, here’s a few favorites:

Mashable’s Tech Editor waits all year for these 27 classic Black Friday deals — Yeti coolers, cordless drills, and Sony headphones on sale.

Find the full breakdown here.

There are a lot of MacBook deals to consider this year, which is very much a good thing. Our favorite? It’s too soon to say, but we like the fact that you can get the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air for under $950 this Black Friday. Get the best-ever price at Amazon.

We really like AirTags. Who doesn’t? And we absolutely love any sort of deal on the four pack of AirTags, because more is better when it comes to these Bluetooth trackers.

The Apple AirTag 4-pack is on sale for just $64.98 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That’s a saving of 34% off its list price.

Sure, gaming is fun but it’s also a serious business, which means none of the hardware comes cheap. So gamers rejoice, because it’s Black Friday once again. Indeed, forget Christmas. When it comes to stocking up on hardware, Black Friday is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. And as we countdown to Black Friday itself on Nov. 28, there are tons of Black Friday deals on gaming gear already live.

The best of the bunch? It might be the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 on sale for $1,499.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That’s 35% off the list price for a total saving of $800.

Our updated guide to the best Black Friday laptop deals won’t go live until tomorrow (sorry, we’re still cooking), but we can share the very top deals in that story. Our laptop tester said that she’s “gobsmacked” by this year’s laptop deals, so you know it’s going to be good.

• Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, 13.8-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) — $449.99 (save $250)

• Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) — $749 $999 (save $250)

We were pretty impressed with the new AirPods 4 with ANC wireless earbuds upon their release last year (we named them a Mashable Choice product), and we’re still impressed with them now — especially at this price. Black Friday is still a week away, but Amazon isn’t holding back. These popular earbuds just dropped to a new record-low price of $99.99.

And isn’t there just something about $99 AirPods that just feels right?

We’ve already written about Best Buy’s $190 discount on the Sony XM4 headphones, but the retailer dropped a ton more doorbuster deals on Friday. Here are some of the other highlights, including big savings on TVs and Apple Watches:

Once again, the Home Depot is running its epic Black Friday BOGO promotion. With qualifying purchases, you can get a free Ryobi, Milwaukee, or Dewalt cordless tool at no extra cost. This promotion includes some extremely popular tools, making it ideal for both DIY pros and total beginners.

The new Google Pixel Watch 4 is our favorite Android smartwatch of the year, and it’s also a true runner’s watch. We’ve been waiting patiently for this smartwatch to finally go on sale, and it’s finally gotten its first discount for Black Friday. Not only that, but last year’s Pixel Watch 3 (which has almost all of the same features), is discounted to just $249.

Yeti doesn’t host regular sales like other brands. However, you can get Yeti coolers at a discount if you know how. Every year for Black Friday, Yeti discounts a specific color across its entire product line, and this year, it’s firefly yellow. Head to Amazon, Yeti, and other retailers to pick up these Black Friday deals.

The 256GB Samsung Galaxy Tab a9+ is $20 cheaper than the 128GB version at Best Buy and Samsung.

Our new favorite cheap laptop is on sale for just $450 on amazon. The Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has hit its best-ever price on Amazon.

Read our breakdown of the best early Black Friday streaming deals here. Alternatively, check out some of our favorite picks below:

In the Amazon Black Friday sale, the 32GB Kindle Scribe is on sale for $279.99. That’s $140 off and it’s lowest-ever price. But that’s not all, because for some reason the 32GB Kindle Scribe is now the same price as the 16GB version. We don’t know if this is a mistake, but why wouldn’t you take the free upgrade?

There are so many deals to consider over Black Friday, but Apple deals deserve their moment in the spotlight. There’s no other brand that gets the people going like Apple, and the good news is that Black Friday has already delivered record lows on MacBooks, AirPods, iPads, and much more.

The 2024 Apple Mac Mini is on sale for just $479 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That’s $120 off its list price.

We consider the Oura Ring 4 the best overall smart ring, with Mashable’s Samantha Mangino saying it’s, “the most comfortable, accurate, and well-designed smart ring we’ve tested.” Amazon has knocked $150 off the price of this Oura Ring 4, dropping it from $499 to $349. That’s the lowest-ever price at Amazon.

Nintendo Switch deals have landed. We’re keeping a close eye on the console situation, but in the meantime, you can find record-low prices on games, controllers, storage solutions, and so much more here.

For a snapshot of what’s on offer, check out some of our favorite game deals live now:

Amazon kicked off its programming on Nov. 20, and the number of record-low prices took everyone by surprise. We found new lows on MacBooks, AirPods, Lego, TVs, and so much more. Could it get any better? We believe.

Keep checking back for the best Black Friday deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and beyond.

Like Amazon, Best Buy kicked off its Black Friday sale today, and it’s aggressively price matching Amazon like it’s life depends on it. While Best Buy rarely has a lower price than Amazon, there are plenty of reasons to shop at Best Buy over Amazon.

Most importantly, Best Buy stocks many laptops and TVs that you won’t find at Amazon, except from sketchy third-party sellers. Plus, Best Buy has a good membership program that doles out perks and exclusive deals.

TL;DR: If you need a new laptop or TV, check out Best Buy’s Black Friday sale.

TV deals at Best Buy:

On Nov. 20, both Best Buy and Amazon launched their official Black Friday sales, and you can now find all of the year’s top flagship headphones (plus the Apple AirPods Max) at the lowest-ever prices. You can check out our full guide to Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals, or browse this cheat sheet:

While updating our guide to the best Walmart Black Friday deals, we spotted a pretty epic rollback, as Walmart likes to call them. The big box store is practically giving away these blenders right now, as they’re more than 50% off and priced at just $15.

The legendary Dyson Supersonic has been tested (and loved) by multiple Mashable staffers, and we’re comfortable calling it the best hair dryer in the world, period. Sales on this beauty tool are becoming harder to find, but at Dyson’s online store, you can pick up the Dyson Supersonic with three attachments for $299.99.

As per usual, the latest flagship headphones from brands like Bose and Sony are discounted ahead of the holidays. And since the new generation of flagship headphones all cost $450 — or more — that’s good news. However, if you really want to save some money, buy the previous-gen version of these noise cancellers instead. These slightly older products still have incredible sound, active noise-cancellation, and a comfy fit, often for $150 less than the new models.

With the start of the official Amazon Black Friday sale this morning, you can finally pick up Kindle e-readers on sale. Regular Mashable readers will know that our reviewers and resident book nerds love Kindles, and now the entire lineup is on sale. Some notable Kindle deals include the base Kindle for just $79.99 and the Kindle Colorsoft, which has never dropped below $200 before.

Looking for the best price on AirPods Max headphones? Head to Best Buy, which is currently beating Amazon (and everyone else) on these popular noise cancellers.

We’ve been waiting for the base model AirPods 4 to drop to $84.99. We didn’t expect Walmart to drop them down to a record low price of $79.99, or for other retailers to follow suit. With an economy struggling with tariffs and inflation, this is an absurdly low price for Apple wireless earbuds, and we expect this to be one of the best-selling products of Black Friday. Check out our guide on where to score the lowest possible prices on AirPods at any given moment, or head to Walmart to pick up these buds now.

We predict that power stations will make a big impression over Black Friday. We’re expecting huge price drops on top brands like Bluetti, Jackery, DJI, and of course, Anker. The second-generation Anker Solix C1000 power station is down to under $350 at Amazon.

Apple deals always make a big impression over Black Friday, but a record-low price on the brand-new AirPods? That’s an absolute banger of a deal.

The DJI Mic Mini is one of those products that we keep a particularly close eye on. Mashable readers seems to absolutely love it and it goes on sale a lot. That’s a recipe for success, so we make sure we’re the first to tell you about any new price drops. And we have some good news: The DJI Mic Mini (2 TX, 1 RX, and Charging Case) is on sale for $78.90 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That’s over $90 off and the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

Amazon has officially launched its Black Friday sale, with a huge number of deals on the most popular products. And yes, that includes Lego. You can find the Lego hub page here if you want to check out everything on offer. For a taster, here’s a quick selection of our favorites:

Prime members can secure a DJI Mini 4K drone for $239 in Amazon’s Black Friday sale. Mashable has reported about the potential for a ban on these drones, so this could be your best chance to grab one before it’s too late.

The Lego Harry Potter Mandrake Figure lets you build the famous Mandrake plant, complete with its own pot inspired by the Hogwarts’ Herbology class. The model can be displayed in the pot or lifted out (sans screaming), and includes posable leaves plus a moving chest that animates the mouth and limbs.

In Amazon’s Black Friday sale, the Lego Harry Potter Mandrake Figure is on sale for $40.99 at Amazon. That’s $29 off the list price for a limited time.

Apple deals have officially dropped at Amazon, but our favorite MacBook Air deal is still tough to beat.

Unfortunately, we do not expect the Nintendo Switch 2 console to go on sale this holiday season. Between tariffs and inflation, the video game industry hasn’t had much flexibility when it comes to prices. We’d love to be wrong, of course. So, if you do want to save on the new handheld console, then pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. As of this writing, bundles are in stock at Walmart and Amazon, but we don’t know for how long. This console has a history of selling out before the holidays.

Haven’t you heard? Physical media is making a comeback, thanks in no small part to Taylor Swift. So, if you’re shopping for a Swiftie this holiday season, we’ve got a great 2-in-1 gift idea for you. Over at Target, you can pick up a stylish record player and The Life of a Showgirl: Sweat and Vanilla Perfume edition on vinyl. Both are on sale as part of Target’s early Black Friday sale.

The Sony XM5 and XM6 headphones — can you tell the difference?
Credit: Joe Maldonado / Mashable

This year, Sony released the long-awaited sequel to its flagship XM5 headphones, the XM6. And having tested them both for Mashable, here’s the honest truth: They’re very similar products. Yes, the XM6 makes some iterative improvements and brings back a travel-friendly folding design, but the vast majority of people will be perfectly happy with the XM5 model, which is finally back on sale.

You can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones at Amazon right now for just $248, compared to the $428 price tag of the new model. For my money, that’s a very easy decision, folks.

Discounts on the legendary Dyson Supersonic hairdryer used to be a staple of big sales like Prime Day and Black Friday, but they’ve become rarer and rarer. That’s why we’re genuinely excited about this one. As part of Dyson’s early Black Friday sale, you can grab the Dyson Supersonic plus three hair attachments for just $299.99, savings of $150. You won’t find this discount at any retailer.

Multiple Mashable reporters have tested this hair dryer and use it regularly, and our verdict is the same: This beauty tool lives up to the hype, folks.
