Once upon a time, Americans lined up in droves outside Walmarts and Targets, still full from Thanksgiving dinner, so they could be first in the door. Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, not only can you order all of the best Black Friday deals online, but for the past few years, retailers have also been launching their Black Friday sales weeks in advance of Thanksgiving.
Case in point: Amazon and Best Buy officially launched their Black Friday sales on Thursday. So, ready or not, Black Friday is already here. You can tell because Mashable is once again working around the clock to bring you live updates on all of the latest sales, standout deals, price drops, and inventory updates. Already, we’ve spied record discounts on flagship noise-cancelling headphones, Apple laptops and tablets, Dyson appliances, and some of the year’s most popular tech gifts.
Check out the top early deals so far, and keep scrolling for the full schedule of events and the latest live updates and news from the Mashable shopping team.
Remember: Black Friday 2025 takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, and is quickly followed by Cyber Week, which starts on Monday, Dec. 1. However, you can already shop plenty of sales at all the major online retailers. If you want to be the first to know when new sales go online, then keep checking back as we provide live updates on the shopping festivities.

In the Amazon Black Friday sale, the 32GB Kindle Scribe is on sale for $279.99. That’s $140 off and it’s lowest-ever price. But that’s not all, because for some reason the 32GB Kindle Scribe is now the same price as the 16GB version. We don’t know if this is a mistake, but why wouldn’t you take the free upgrade?

Best Buy’s Black Friday sale is live
Like Amazon, Best Buy kicked off its Black Friday sale today, and it’s aggressively price matching Amazon like it’s life depends on it. While Best Buy rarely has a lower price than Amazon, there are plenty of reasons to shop at Best Buy over Amazon.
Most importantly, Best Buy stocks many laptops and TVs that you won’t find at Amazon, except from sketchy third-party sellers. Plus, Best Buy has a good membership program that doles out perks and exclusive deals.

Flagship noise-cancelling headphones on sale
As per usual, the latest flagship headphones from brands like Bose and Sony are discounted ahead of the holidays. And since the new generation of flagship headphones all cost $450 — or more — that’s good news. However, if you really want to save some money, buy the previous-gen version of these noise cancellers instead. These slightly older products still have incredible sound, active noise-cancellation, and a comfy fit, often for $150 less than the new models.

🚨 AirPods 4 just hit $79.99 — a record price
We’ve been waiting for the base model AirPods 4 to drop to $84.99. We didn’t expect Walmart to drop them down to a record low price of $79.99, or for other retailers to follow suit. With an economy struggling with tariffs and inflation, this is an absurdly low price for Apple wireless earbuds, and we expect this to be one of the best-selling products of Black Friday. Check out our guide on where to score the lowest possible prices on AirPods at any given moment, or head to Walmart to pick up these buds now.

Nintendo Switch 2: Is it on sale?
Unfortunately, we do not expect the Nintendo Switch 2 console to go on sale this holiday season. Between tariffs and inflation, the video game industry hasn’t had much flexibility when it comes to prices. We’d love to be wrong, of course. So, if you do want to save on the new handheld console, then pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. As of this writing, bundles are in stock at Walmart and Amazon, but we don’t know for how long. This console has a history of selling out before the holidays.

This year, Sony released the long-awaited sequel to its flagship XM5 headphones, the XM6. And having tested them both for Mashable, here’s the honest truth: They’re very similar products. Yes, the XM6 makes some iterative improvements and brings back a travel-friendly folding design, but the vast majority of people will be perfectly happy with the XM5 model, which is finally back on sale.
You can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones at Amazon right now for just $248, compared to the $428 price tag of the new model. For my money, that’s a very easy decision, folks.
