Welcome back to our live Black Friday 2022 coverage. Although the big day is not yet here there are already thousands of Black Friday deals to sift through in the US and UK. Below you’ll find our favorites right now, as well as the latest news about Black Friday.

In the US, Black Friday sales are now live at most major retailers. Amazon’s early Black Friday sale is well underway, and Walmart is in week two of its Black Friday sale –  which included the first decent Apple Watch 8 deal we’ve seen.

Plenty of bargains are available in the UK too, but unfortunately there are warnings that your deliveries may be delayed. Even though Royal Mail is the only courier with strike action planned over the Black Friday period right now, other delivery companies have said they may struggle to handle the extra demand this will cause. As such, you may find your orders take longer to reach you than normal, so make sure you plan accordingly.

The good news is that we’re seeing a strong crop of deals this year, so read on and we’ll highlight the best ones as we find them.

Beats studio buds price deals sales

Beats Studio Buds get a $50 price cut before Black Friday

Let’s start with a great headphones deal. The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made and earned 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review. They’re comfortable, sound great and have active noise cancellation. 

OK, so their call quality isn’t perfect and they’re missing Apple’s H1 Wireless Chip. But at $99.99 – which is their current price at Amazon, down from $149.95 – they’re a lot cheaper than Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, which cost $234. We think they’re an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.

Compared to Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, which are priced at $234, this deal is a great alternative for premium earbuds under $100.View Deal

But best of all it’s not full price right now: it’s 37% off, saving you $500 and bringing it down to $899. Don’t miss this one.
