Black Friday 2025 in Australia: top early deals on headphones, TVs, hi-fi and more

Save AU$199.05
We haven't tested this model, but essentially it's the same as the QuietComfort just with a soft case (hence the SC) as opposed to a hard one. The QC are a light update on the QuietComfort 45 we gave four stars to. Here, you can expect decent sound and class-leading noise-cancelling at this level.

They may have a couple of successors in the XM5 and XM6, but we still rate the Sony XM4 incredibly highly, especially now they're regularly discounted. They deliver a thoroughly detailed performance alongside a confident low-end. They're also especially comfortable and fold away neatly for easy travel. The deal price here is thanks to an extra AU$40 saving with code HOLIDAYSAVE direct from Sony and a further 10% via a My Sony membership sign up.

Bowers & Wilkins' flagship wireless noise-cancelling over-ears may still be big money despite this 30% discount, but they certainly offer the luxury and performance to match. They are hugely capable performers that justify their hefty price with a combination of build and sound quality that cheaper alternatives simply can’t match. 
Five stars

Now a multi-award winner, the Sony WF-C510 are without a doubt the best in-ear headphones you can buy if you're on a tighter budget. They deliver a sumptuous sound, are incredibly comfortable and have a solid 11 hours of battery from a single charge.
Five stars

If you want noise cancellation with your in-ear headphones, then Sony once again is the brand to go to. The WF-C710N buds also won a What Hi-Fi? Award this year, for their fun, musical sound and eye-catching design.
Five stars

Bose's more affordable earbuds impressed us greatly this year, so much so they also picked up an Award. They offer solid ANC performance, as we've come to expect from the brand, and they deliver a powerful, entertaining sound, alongside a generous suite of customisation options in the app.

Our Product of the Year in the wireless speakers category, the JBL Charge 6 is practically faultless. It delivers a powerful, punchy sound that's also packed with detail. Despite its slightly larger size, it's truly portable, especially thanks to an integrated carry handle. It does lose a bit of energy at lower volumes, but this is one you'll want to keep turned up to the max anyway.
Five stars

The JBL Flip 7 also received an Award from us this year, as it gives you everything you need: powerful, expansive sound, useful features and a tough exterior built for the outdoors.

JBL swept our Awards this year, with the Xtreme 4 also picking up a gong. If you want a huge, expansive sound from your portable speaker, look no further than this mode.

A small saving, but one that's definitely welcome. The Roam 2 is Sonos' latest portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speaker, and one that delivers decently detailed and clear sound that goes louder than you might expect it to for its size. Automatic TruePlay ensures its always perfectly calibrated and you can adjust the EQ settings from within the app. Make sure to hit the Price Beat button to get the full saving.

If it's a true party starting Bluetooth speaker you're after, the Bose SoundLink Max is happy to oblige, and it's now down to its lowest-ever price on Amazon. It gives out a huge, punchy sound from its robustly built enclosure, and a two-way USB-C port means it can used to charge your devices. Here, Bose wraps up excellent sound quality and an enjoyable user experience in an attractive, outdoor-friendly package.

The WiiM Pro Plus is the best affordable streamer to pass through our listening room. It's compact, affordable, sounds great and is packed with every popular streaming feature. It was a steal at full price but with AU$66 off? It almost feels too good to be true. Five stars

The WiiM Ultra is a fantastic streamer, being effortless to use and offering a healthy selection of physical connections. Sound is crisp, clear and lively, and we love the large colour touchscreen. No AirPlay is a peculiar omission, but otherwise this is virtually faultless.
Five stars

Proving it really does have the affordable end of the hi-fi spectrum covered, the WiiM Amp Pro is a fine addition to any budding enthusiast's first system. It improves upon the regular Amp in terms of sound quality and we appreciate the number of connections, and the fact it's simple to use. There's no AirPlay, which is annoying, but otherwise this is worth an audition.
Four stars

A previous What Hi-Fi? Award winner these B&W standmounts set the bar high for clarity, refinement and detail, but also have plenty in the way of punch and dynamism to entertain. In our five-star B&W 607 S3 review, we called them "entertaining in spades" and "a delight". Even a price cut as modest as this one is welcome.
Five stars

An excellent choice for anyone making their first entry into the world of vinyl, this Sony Bluetooth turntable dishes out an entertaining sound. It has a built-in phono stage for easier connection to an amplifier (although you can bypass it if you wish). It's also a doddle to set up. You'll be spinning in no time. Use the coupon code HOLIDAYSAVE to save an initial AU$40, then sign up for a My Sony membership to save an additional 10%.

Our Product of the Year in the TVs category, the Sony Bravia 8 II is one of the very best TVs that money can buy. It exhibits an exceptionally bright, vibrant and three-dimensional picture quality, along with perfect blacks and excellent shadow detail. Turn the lights up and things can suffer a little, but overall this is Sony's best picture quality to date. Use code HOLIDAYSAVE (save AU$80) and sign up for a My Sony membership (save AU$150) to get the deal price here.

It might be a fews years old now, but the Sony X90L is still a fantastic TV option, especially in this 85-inch guise. We praised its bright, impactful picture quality in our review, and could only really fault it for having jus two HDMI 2.1 ports. Enter code HOLIDAYSAVE at checkout to get the deal price listed, and save a further AU$150 by signing up for a My Sony membership.

This has gone much lower in price in recent months, and I would expect it'll come back down over Black Friday proper, but if you're desperate to upgrade your TV today, this is still a good price for what is one of the finest screens to be released in 2025. The C5 continues where the company's excellent C4 left off, serving up superb colours, brightness and contrast, resulting in a TV that's perfect for most homes. It's a good-looking TV and it has a wealth of gaming features.

The Samsung S95F is an outstanding screen that improves upon the excellent S95D by not only upgrading the anti-glare technology but also boosting black levels in the process (the previous model could suffer occasionally with a loss in shadow detail). The result is a spectacular screen that would suit most bright Australian homes well. Hit the Price Button to get the full saving.
Five stars

We call the C8K "one of 2025's top mini-LED TVs" in our review, praising it for incredible picture quality, a strong list of gaming features, and overall, providing superb value against its competitors. It's yet more proof you don't always need to spend big bucks to get big performance.
