Sony Bravia 8 (K55XR80) was £2199 now £1599 at Amazon (save £600)

Focal Elegia was £799 now £349 at Sevenoaks (save £450)
We're astonished that a pair of headphones are enjoying such a massive discount, so this could mean that the Elegia, which are now a few years old, are nearing the end of their lifespan. If that's the case, it could be time to snap up a pair of the Focal Elegia at the lowest price they've ever been, and probably the lowest price they ever will be.

The Amazon Omni is a much better TV than its original £1000 price suggested, so with this deal, it's a serious bargain.

Panasonic TX55MZ1500B was £2199 now £1549 at Peter Tyson (save £650)
While we reviewed the slightly larger size of this TV, we're confident that all of its positive attributes will apply to this 55-inch version.

Sony's first 42-inch OLED is a high-end treat, particularly if picture authenticity is your priority. It sounds great by TV standards, too. The 42-inch LG C2 is still overall the better buy, given its much lower price, but there are many who will feel it's worth spending the extra on this Sony. Five stars

Technics EAH-AZ80 was £259 now £218 at Amazon (save £41)
We haven't seen the Technics EAH-AZ80 fall this much before Black Friday (they don't drop regularly anyway) making any deal quite an occasion.
