As we noted in our Black Friday 2025 survival guide, buying hi-fi at this time of year is always tricky for a couple of reasons.

First, because stores flood your eyeballs with more alleged deals on headphones, stereo amps, speakers, turntables and more than you could ever hope to keep track of.

Second, because many of the deals aren’t actually that great when you put them under the microscope.

Common issues include the fact that many of the products aren’t actually good performers and won’t meet serious music fans' needs, no matter how cheap they are.

Which is why this deals season our team of audio experts will be on hand updating this page with all the latest deals we’ve spotted and recommend to discerning music fans.

On the off chance you don’t find what you’re after, or have a question, you can also ask them directly using our nifty new Black Friday 2025 Live Q&A. So make sure to jump over to it, if you’re after some tailored advice.

Some advice from the team

If you’re shopping for hi-fi this Black Friday, there are several pitfalls to avoid. These range from making sure you’re getting something that matches well with your other, existing hardware, if you’re adding or upgrading part of your rack, to basic things like checking its price history.

On the latter we’ve seen numerous examples of stores artificially raising the price on a product in the run up to Black Friday in a bid to make the discount look impressive, when in reality, it was cheaper earlier in the year.

Which is why, for bargain hunters who can’t find what they’re looking for here, we penned a Black Friday 2025 Survival Guide earlier in November, offering our veteran team’s top tips for shoppers looking to get a decent deal over the event.

Our picks of some great early deals

Though we’re still a week away from the traditional “actual” Black Friday, which happens on the final Friday of November, we’ve already spotted a number of great deals to be had on everything from Award-winning speakers to five-star systems. He’s our current picks of the best that are live right now.

In our Duo review, we said this is "a well-specified, full-bodied, dynamic performer, as classy as a matinée idol in a smoking jacket. You really can’t go wrong."
The compact phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges, and its integrated headphone amplifier is a bonus – especially if your vinyl system is missing one.

Which stores are running Black Friday sales?

Numerous specialist shops have also started getting in on the action, though we tend to find the premium end of the hi-fi market still doesn’t bother. Which is why you are very unlikely to see significant discounts on any Temptation, or upper end normal products, even during Black Friday.

That said, we’ll still be keeping an eye for any good deals, in both the upper and lower end of the market. If you’re curious which ones we tend to keep a close eye on we’ve created a quicklist of some of the top ones in both the UK and US, with a heads up on some of the best deals we’ve spotted on them below.
