The Friday after Thanksgiving is still weeks away, but early Black Friday deals are known to start cropping up nice and early.
While no official sales have been announced just yet, I already spotted some headphones and earbuds deals worth shopping ahead of time. As someone who tests headphones year-round and is heading into her sixth year covering Black Friday at Mashable, I make sure to only include savings that are actually deals worth shopping. That means significantly lower price points than usual on brands that create quality audio products.
Below are the 11 deals I found worth shopping ahead of Black Friday, including headphones, noise-cancelling earbuds, sleep earbuds, and open earbuds.
Best early Black Friday headphones deal
Why we like it
Sony just released the next generation of these headphones, but that means that it can be easier to grab a deal on some of the best budget headphones available. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti wrote that the sound quality on these mid-range headphones is “near-flagship” quality, with impressive active noise cancellation to match. You won’t be able to fold them up, and some features like Quick Attention and hi-res LDAC codec support are omitted for the sake of price point, but ultimately, these provide an excellent all-around headphone experience for under $100.
