Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT was $219 now $179 at Amazon (save $40)
A very generous $40 discount takes this Bluetooth Audio-Technica player down to well under the $100 mark, although that's just for the rather attractive red finish and black finish. If you can forgive the slightly cheap-feeling build quality, this deck's good timing, decent balance and enjoyable dynamics are worth a look at this incredibly budget price. Besides, who doesn't like a hint of colour to brighten up their record player?

Black Friday FAQ

When is Black Friday 2023?

The Black Friday 2023 date is Friday 24th November.
Cyber Monday 2023 will be Monday 27th November.

Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means this year it will fall on Friday 24th November. Most retailers will want to make the most of what will typically be the busiest 24 hours of the event, meaning we can expect deals going live at midnight and running until the end of the day.

Of course, you can rest assured that Black Friday won't be simply one day of deals – those days are long gone. Instead, expect at least a week of build-up, maybe longer, from many retailers. And of course, the Black Friday sales continue through to Cyber Monday, which is always the Monday after Black Friday. 

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday began in the US but in recent years has very much become a worldwide shopping phenomena. It's regarded (and backed up by stats) as the busiest shopping day of the year – both online and in-store – and officially kicks off the holiday season.

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 in to the "black" (profit). Hence Black Friday. 

What about Cyber Monday?

The term 'Cyber Monday', meanwhile, was coined by Scott Silverman and the National Retail Federation's Ellen Davis 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.

Where to get the best Black Friday deals?

The dominant names in retail, such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target  will no doubt want to go big during Black Friday 2023, while the Sony WF-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5 are likely to be some of the biggest sellers when it comes to headphones.

We won't forget the hi-fi and home cinema kit, so will be on the lookout for deals on B&W and KEF speakers, not to mention 4K and portable projectors, AVRs, turntables, CD players, hi-res music players and more. World Wide Stereo usually has lots of specialist deals.

We're confident the specialist audio and home theater retailers will deliver some hi-fi and home theater bargains – this year's What Hi-Fi? Award-winners are a good place to start when it comes to finding a price reduction.

How long will Black Friday last?

Well, Black Friday is 24 hours. And Cyber Monday is 24 hours. But like other big sales events, you always have preliminary and aftermath offers. 

For one, deals will run during the weekend sandwiched in the middle of the two days. And in the days and weeks building up to them, there will be plenty of 'early Black Friday' savings serenading the sites. 

Are the Black Friday deals any good?

After the initial few years of excitement around Black Friday, we naturally moved to the apathy stage, as people began to question whether the offers were genuinely good deals. And it remains up for debate.

For example, it's not unusual to see discounted products rise in price in the summer months ahead of a "price cut" come Black Friday. This means you're just getting the original discounted price from earlier in the year. That said, there are always genuine deals to be had – it's just finding them among the onslaught of offers. The phrase 'needle in a haystack' comes to mind.

That's where we come in. We'll handpick the best TV, audio and AV deals across retailers to find the ones that are really worth your hard-earned dollars.

We'd suggest having a rough idea of what you want in mind – whether that be wireless noise-cancelling headphones under $100, a discounted 55 inch 4K OLED TV or a portable, outdoor-friendly Bluetooth speaker – but restricting yourself only to specific models will reduce your chance of being lucky on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Pick the features you fancy, then see what ticks your boxes and has the best Black Friday sale price.
