Black Friday 2022 live: has it started today?

Black Friday headlines

– The best Black Friday deals today are on TVs
– Lowest-ever prices on huge TVs and OLEDs
– No good Apple deals – except Airpods Pro 2
– Great discounts on appliances at Walmart
– Samsung has superb handset trade-in deals

You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s Black Friday today. It isn’t – Black Friday 2022 officially falls on November 25 – but given the sheer amount of Black Friday deals that have already launched, it certainly feels like it could be. 

Most big-name retailers in both the US and UK are running Black Friday sales as we head into the weekend. And although we’ve seen the volume of discounts slow down slightly since the start of the week, there are some exceptionally good-value offers that are worth grabbing now – we’ve got all the latest news here. 

There are also plenty we’d leave until closer to the day, when prices are highly likely to drop further. We’ll steer you away from those, too. Join us as we cover the Black Friday sales live today and through the weekend. Happy browsing…

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

The Beats Studio Buds are easily the best-sounding earbuds Beats has ever made. We gave them 4/5 stars in our Beats Studio Buds review: they’re comfortable to wear and they sound great, plus they support active noise cancellation. 

Unfortunately, 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 $234. We think they’re an absolute bargain for a premium pair of noise-canceling earbuds.

Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $99.95 at Amazon.com
Beats Studio Buds are the best Beats earbuds you can buy, and Amazon’s early Black Friday sale has the earbuds down to $99.95 – just $10 more than the record-low price. You’re getting Active Noise Cancelling technology, a comfortable fit, and decent audio performance. 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

One of the best laptops ever made gets a $700 price cut

Dell has launched its Black Friday sale, and it’s well worth a look if you need a new laptop. The one that caught our eye is this huge $700 discount on a high-end Dell XPS 15, which drops the price from $2,899 to $2,199.

It’s a productivity powerhouse, as you might expect given the price, with new Intel Alder Lake processors and RTX GPUs packed into the classic XPS laptop design. We found that it’s even capable of some moderate gaming. We gave it a full five stars in our Dell XPS 15 (2022) review.

Don’t buy it if you don’t need the best of the best – those specs are going to be overkill for a lot of people. But if you want to own what we think is arguably the perfect computer for most Windows users, this is a good deal. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen so far.
