Black Friday 2025 in Australia: the 25+ best AV deals still live
Black Friday has officially come to an end in Australia, but there's still time to score some AV bargains
As Andrea Bocelli says, it's time to say goodbye... to Black Friday for another year in Australia. In 2025, we saw some incredible discounts on a wide range of AV kit, including headphones, amplifiers, streamers and TVs.
Many of those fantastic deals have now ended, but a thorough check has revealed some are still available to shop. For how much longer, we're not quite sure, but we're confident in saying they won't last forever.
That means this your final chance to snap up some discounted gear for less. The good news is that many of our 2025 What Hi-Fi? Award winners remain on sale, ensuring you're getting the best of the best at a more attractive price.
You'll want to hurry though, because as mentioned, we don't expect these deals to last forever.

Black Friday Australia headphone deals
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. To get this deal, get yourself a 10% Bose coupon code from our friends at TechRadar.
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.

Five stars
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.

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.

Black Friday speaker deals
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. The deal price here is a lot more than the AU$94 we saw previously, but nearly all the colours are under AU$130 and still worth considering. Select colours are eligible for an extra AU$5.01 saving by clicking to apply the coupon.

Black Friday hi-fi deals
Rotel's stunning integrated amp is now a multi-award winning model, and is without doubt our favourite option for those seeking a talented amplifier on a tighter budget. This discount may not be huge, but it makes an affordable amp, even more accessible.
Five stars
A multi-award winner, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 floorstanders are practically faultless. In fact, in our review of the speakers we couldn't find anything negative to say. In short, they're terrifically accomplished and you should absolutely audition these first before any other model in the same price bracket.
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. The price here is exclusively for My Sony members.
It's also available at Amazon for AU$289.99.
Arm yourself with everything you need for a vinyl system with this Pro-Ject bundle. It comprises the Award-winning Debut Evo turntable, a MaiA S3 integrated amp and a pair of Speaker Box 5 S2 bookshelf speakers. As its name suggests, it's also available in range of fetching colours.

Five stars
The Sonos Arc Ultra is the best one-box Dolby Atmos soundbar you can buy. It offers a raft of improvements over its predecessor, including some clever speaker driver technology, resulting in spectacular sound.

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. The price here is exclusively for My Sony members. Without membership it's AU$3,999.
Five stars
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. The price here is exclusively for My Sony members.
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
Utilising TCL’s latest QD mini-LED technology, the C7K is a premium yet affordable TV that should suit most Australian homes. High brightness, vibrant colours and deep blacks promise to elevate your home movie nights, while a built-in Bang & Olufsen speaker system could make you think twice about investing in a soundbar.
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.

This compact, practically-portable projector is easy-to-use and delivers a wonderfully sharp picture. It's a bit of a looker if we do say so ourselves and will be a delight for anyone wanting a more authentic cinema experience at home on a budget.
Five stars
This Hisense coffee table projector is slightly larger than the M2 Pro above, and it projects a beautifully crisp and punchy image onto a wall or screen. Its built-in sound system is pretty good too, as is the Vidaa OS. Hit the Price Beat button for the full saving.
Black Friday FAQ
When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, which means in 2025 it fell on Friday November 28. The sales period concluded with Cyber Monday on Monday December 1.
As we expected, in 2025, most Australian retailers that run Black Friday sales started discounting well in advance of the official weekend, and so we started seeing deals from mid-November.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday sales started life in the US, but has since become a global shopping phenomenon and has proven to be particularly popular here in Australia. It's regarded (and backed up by stats) as the busiest shopping day of the year – both online and in-store – having overtaken Boxing Day several years ago.
Why is it called Black Friday? The date was traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season when retailers hoped to move out of the "red" (loss) and into the "black" (profit), hence Black Friday.
What is Cyber Monday?
The term 'Cyber Monday', meanwhile, was coined by the US National Retail Federation in a bid to encourage people to take their shopping online during the Black Friday event. That was back in 2005, when people needed such encouragement! It's always the Monday after Black Friday.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend in the US. This year, it's Monday December 1.
How long will Black Friday last?
Technically, Black Friday itself is just 24 hours long and it's the same for Cyber Monday. But, as with other major sales event, there is always a deluge of deals during the entire shopping weekend, and usually at least a week or two prior.
Are Black Friday deals any good?
Usually, yes. However, we have found in our experience of covering more Black Friday shopping weekends that we care to admit that some retailers may end previous discounts so that it looks as though you're getting a good deal come the end of November. In reality, you're sometimes just getting the same discounted price that had been available throughout other sales periods during the year.
There are no doubt exceptions to this rule, and Black Friday can certainly be the shopping event that delivers the biggest and best discounts. And that's where we come in, as we have the experience to know if the prices being offered throughout the weekend are actually any good.
If there are any products you're going to be paying particularly close attention to, whether it be a shiny new TV or a pair of headphones, you may already have a good idea of the maximum price you'd be willing to pay.
Where do you get the best Black Friday deals?
A good number of 4K TVs, smart and Bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones will almost certainly be on offer at pretty much every electronics retailer, while soundbars and hi-fi components are also likely to make an appearance in sales across the board (albeit perhaps in lesser quantities).
The likes of JB Hi-Fi and eBay often go big on games console bundles ahead of the holiday season, and as OLED continues its dominance in the premium TV market, some cheaper OLED TV deals are likely on the cards too.
Even though Amazon Australia has its fun with Prime Day and various other sale events throughout the year, the online retail giant always participates in Black Friday sales. In fact, to compete with all the other Australian retailers, it is often a go-to destination for choice deals and lowest prices during Black Friday. Those looking to buy into or build upon an Amazon Alexa ecosystem will be able to save money on the Echo speaker range, as pretty much every Echo and Fire TV device gets generously discounted that weekend.
Big AV brands such as Sony and LG will also likely host Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts on their own official stores, too, so they could undercut third-party retailers prices for OLED TVs and soundbars.
