UPDATE: Black Friday is here and we're already seeing a great number of discounts across most online retailers.

The headphone market continues to evolve and adapt. Whether you stick to traditional wired sets or embrace Bluetooth completely, there should be a deal for you.

The best bargains can be found during the Black Friday weekend, but you should fully expect a wide range of other deals in the build up to the shopping event. Best sellers last year included half-price Sony, Beats, and AKG headphones, so definitely keeps an eye out for similar deals in 2019.

Black Friday sales can get a little confusing at times, so we're here to break down all the relevant information you will need.

Where to shop on Black Friday


In 2019, Black Friday will officially start on November 29, but that doesn't mean you won't find top headphone deals throughout the whole month.

Black Friday 2019:

Predictably the biggest offers for the shopping event will run throughout the weekend and end on the Monday. Although deals can merge into Cyber Monday, and even beyond, as the two events are now basically the same thing.

There will be a decent variety of retailers participating in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year. Many of the best deals can be found at Amazon, which normally stretches out its sales as long as possibly. UK bargain hunters should also keep an eye on the likes of John Lewis, Currys PC World, and Argos.

While most of these retailers will be discounting items throughout November, it's worth addressing that these deals can alter and change as the month progresses.

What to expect on Black Friday


Black Friday can be incredibly unpredictable, so its best to bookmark the relevant PCMag articles to make sure you're kept up to speed with all the brilliant deals that drop.

With that being said, we can normally air a few predictions prior to the sales event, by looking at what sold well last year, where the focus was, and what products have been released since.

As a given, older products that are surplus to requirements will almost always go on sale to make way for the more advanced models. The drop in price may convince some buyers to overlook the latest model in favour of a great deal, even if you get something a little outdated.

With more phones starting to abandon the headphone jack, the wireless Bluetooth revolution is really starting to take shape. Although we are far away from all phones ditching the 3.5mm jack, a lot of mainstream devices have opted to remove it to create room for other innovations. Notably this applies to the iPhone, and most recently the Galaxy Note10.

With the increasing popularity of these headphones, we expect many to receive at least some kind of discount. The Apple AirPods even got a 2019 update, so older models of the tiny ear-pods may prove popular, and cheap, come November.

My Experience

I’ve been freelancing as a tech journalist for several years now, after long wanting to write about my passion for video games. I have bylines on Kotaku and other sites, but PCMag is where you can find most of my musings on gaming, its culture, and where the industry is going next. I also test online services for both businesses and individuals. If you’re interested in hearing me talk about entertainment, film, and TV, you can check out my Patreon and Substack, both under the name “Robby Knows.”

The Technology I Use 

Most of the tech I use every day is within the Apple ecosystem. Currently, I rely on a 2025 MacBook Air for computing and dabble in art projects on my 6th-generation iPad Mini. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods Pro 2 in my pocket. 

As an avid gamer, you better believe that I always have a controller in my hands if I’m not watching movies or TV. I use my PS5 and Switch 2 equally, depending on what’s the hot new release, and am always trying to find interesting ways to tinker with my Steam Deck.  

Given the current state of social media and technology, I find myself going more analog to escape the noise. I have a modest collection of watches, both automatic and digital, to free myself from the pings and notifications of the modern world. I also put my phone in a ySky lockbox for 12 hours every night to reduce my screen time. I spent a lot of the past year trying to read good books rather than scroll through feeds.
