Shokz OpenDots ONE open-ear clip-on earbuds $134.95 (was $199.95)

Shokz OpenDots ONE earbuds take the bone-conduction brand’s open-ear philosophy and remix it into ultra-light 6.5-gram clip-ons that feel more like jewelry than gym gear, but pump till you’re done pushing plate. They snap above the lobe of your ear, beam Dolby Audio into the space just outside your canal, and somehow stay put through burpees, box jumps, and sprint finishes. With up to 40 hours of playtime, wireless charging, and a water-resistant build, they’re the “leave ’em on all day” option for people who bounce from workouts to errands to calls and don’t want to keep digging buds out of a case … or pay full price, because they’re 30% off for a limited time.

With the QuietComfort Headphones’ Quiet and Aware modes plus customizable listening profiles, you can go from “cone of silence” to “hear the boarding call” with a tap. And you can even add Wind Block so that calls sound serene, not like you’re a storm chaser. You get up to 24 hours of battery life, plush earcups that playfully cuddle instead of painfully clamp, and a steel-reinforced headband that’s happy to live on your head from early AM coffee to return flights. The Bose app lets you tweak EQ and set shortcuts for stuff like Spotify Tap or your voice assistant, while an included cable with in-line mic keeps you plugged into meetings or in-flight entertainment where Bluetooth isn’t invited. Plus, SimpleSync lets you pair to a compatible Bose soundbar for stealthy late-night binge sessions. And a crayon box of eight colorways—from low-key Black and Sandstone to Ice Blue and Petal Pink—let you manifest a calm aura or main-character energy.

Apple AirPods 4 Wireless ANC Earbuds $99 (was $179, 44% off)

See It

Apple’s entry-level earbuds bring many of the “Pro” perks to the mainstream, with a new, more secure fit and upgraded acoustic design for richer, clearer sound. Available in two versions—our featured one, with Active Noise Cancellation, and also a non-ANC edition (on sale for $69)—they support Adaptive Audio, Transparency mode, Conversation Awareness, and Personalized Spatial Audio for a more immersive, context-aware listening experience. You still get staples like quick pairing, automatic device switching, “Hey Siri” voice control, plus up to 5 hours of listening (and up to 30 hours with the case). There’s the legendary ease of use and even Find My integration, which helps you not lose your AirPods. Though at this price, maybe you should just buy a backup pair. If you’ve got an iPhone, you really gotta have AirPods.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker $59.99 (was $99.99, 40% off)

Pink Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 portable Bluetooth waterproof speaker on a blue Amazon Black-Friday product card background — Ultimate Ears

See It

Since being introduced in 2017, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom has been a tried-and-true favorite, one of the best Bluetooth speakers under $100 in any situation, thanks to its durability and sound quality. And the Wonderboom 4 continues that tuneful tradition, offering you an audio orb you can easily take with you—into the woods or the waves, to the beach or the bathtub. This portable Bluetooth speaker comes in fun two-tone colors with a flexible handle at the top that can easily be attached to a backpack, belt loop, bike basket, or boat. It weighs less than 1 pound and measures just 4 inches tall, so you won’t be slowed down by bulk. The battery lasts a full 14 hours and produces 360-degree sound coverage that can reach up to 87 dBs in Outdoor Boost mode—pretty impressive for a 10W speaker this size. With an IP67 rating and the ability to float, it’s a perfect shower/pool speaker—available in four colorways. You can also pair multiples if you want more liquid funk, which is even more affordable if you act quickly while it’s at its lowest price of the year.

Klipsch The Nines Heritage Inspired Powered Speakers (Pair) – Walnut or Black $1,149 (was $1,699, 32% off)

Black Klipsch The Nines powered connected speakers on a blue Amazon Black Friday 2025 product card — Klipsch

See It

Klipsch The Nines powered speakers are Klipsch’s flagship Heritage-inspired powered bookshelf speakers, blending mid-century-modern looks with contemporary, no-receiver-needed convenience. Each cabinet pairs a 1-inch titanium tweeter in a Tractrix horn with an 8-inch long-throw woofer and a built-in 240-watt amp (480 watts peak), delivering the brand’s big, concert-style sound with deep, controlled bass that often makes a subwoofer optional. HDMI ARC, USB, optical, analog, Bluetooth 5.0, and a built-in phono preamp mean you can hook up your TV, laptop, turntable, and more without extra boxes, while simple plug-and-play setup and app-based EQ let you go from unboxing to room-filling hi-fi in minutes. If you want high-performance media multitaskers, find out what our reviewer already knows: these speakers are worth it, especially at their best, lowest price.

MEZE AUDIO | 99 Classics Wooden Closed-Back Headphones – Walnut | Gold or Silver $229 (was $309, 26% off)

Walnut and Gold Meze Audio 99 Classics V1 Walnut Gold closed-back headphones on a blue Amazon Black Friday 2025 product card background — Meze Audio

See It

Meze Audio 99 Classics are the kind of headphones that make most plastic cans look like office supplies. The original 99 Classics wrap your ears in real walnut wood cups, a suspended headband, and plush pads that practically whisper “one more track” every time you think about turning off and turning in. Sonically, they lean into a warm, V-shaped tuning with rich, rounded bass and gently sweetened treble that flatters everything from synthwave to Sunday jazz. They’re not chasing clinical neutrality so much as that “sink into the couch and rediscover your favorite albums” vibe—old-school wired cans with just enough modern polish to feel like a design object and a hi-fi gateway drug in one. While a V2 was introduced in 2025 with heightened technicalities and soundstage, the original 99 Classics remains a, well, classic for entry-level audiophiles seeking inviting, intimate expressiveness, especially at a deep discount.

Kanto Audio Ren 200W Powered Speaker System $449 (was $699, 36% off)

See It

The Kanto Ren isn’t your average pair of speakers. While they can function that way, and sound very good for pure music with their 1-inch tweeter and 5.25-inch cone, the ace up its sleeve is its HDMI ARC input. This allows it to connect to accept audio directly from a TV, just like a soundbar. And because it also supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), it’s also able to turn on and off with your TV, so once it’s set up, all you need to worry about is getting lost in its room-filling sound during movies or games. The Kanto Ren also supports RCA, Optical TOSLINK, Bluetooth 5.3, 3.5mm aux-in, and even USB Type-C for quick connections with smart devices. Swapping between these inputs is as easy as pressing the volume button, and a color-coded LED indicates which source the speakers are currently set to receive. The speakers, available in five colorways, effortlessly reproduce deep lows while the silk-dome tweeters resolve high-frequency details with ease. That’s why the Ren made our roundup of “bang-for-the-buck” powered bookshelf-style speakers.

JBL Charge 6 portable Bluetooth speaker with powerbank $129 (was $199, 35% off)

Black and orange JBL Charge 6 portable Bluetooth party speaker on a dark blue Amazon Black Friday 2025 product card — JBL

See It

The JBL Charge 6 portable Bluetooth party speaker doubles down on everything people love about the Charge line: big sound, big battery, and go-anywhere build. A 45W two-way driver system and JBL’s AI Sound Boost tech deliver surprisingly punchy, room-filling audio for its size, while Auracast support lets you link up multiple compatible JBL speakers to cover a whole backyard or campsite. With up to a full day of playtime, an IP68 rating for water, dust, and drop resistance, and a built-in power bank to top off your phone, this is the kind of throw-it-in-the-bag/back speaker that earns a permanent spot in your weekend adventures. And right now it’ll cost less than it has all year, but only for a limited time.

Nothing Headphone (1) wireless over-ear headphones $239 (was $299, 20% off)

See It

With Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic and KEF’s spacious, clean, and controlled sonic signature, these over-ear headphones are eye-catching and attention-grabbing. The 40mm drivers aim for a clear, detailed presentation, while hybrid active noise cancellation and a six-mic system help keep both your music and your calls tastefully engaging in noisy environments. Add in physical controls, multi-device pairing, LDAC hi-res audio, and marathon-friendly 80H battery life, and you get a stylish daily-driver that’s built to stand out on a flight as much as it does on a spec sheet.

Sonos Arc Ultra Dolby Atmos soundbar $879 (was $1,099, 20% off)

See It

A high-end Dolby Atmos soundbar that anchors an immersive living room setup with big, cinematic sound and tight integration into the Sonos multiroom, multidimensional ecosystem. Any discount on the Arc Ultra is a standout for home theater fans, especially when paired with other Sonos gear, such as the Era 300 surround speakers and Sub 4 wireless subwoofer (both also on sale).

Sony ULT Field 5 Wireless Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker — $198 (was $350, 43% off)

A black Sony ULT FIELD 5 portable Bluetooth party speaker on a blue Amazon Black Friday 2025 Deal Alert background — Sony

See It

Prefer a shared listening experience? There are deals on portable party speakers, too. Sony’s ULT FIELD 5 is a Bluetooth speaker built to hit hard without looking like it’s trying. It’s the sonic sequel to the already excellent SRS-XG300, but with more edge and less bloat—physically and sonically. Dual tweeters and passive radiators give it real punch, especially if you’re streaming LDAC from an Android device, but it still plays nice with iPhone AAC. The shimmering SONY logo and ambient LEDs lean into the vibe. IP67 means it’s beach/beer-proof, and it lasts up to 25 hours (plus acts as a power bank). It’s not true wide stereo, but ULT mode punches big, clean, and bassy. Think party muscle in a polished frame.

Technics EAH-AZ100 Reference Class wireless earbuds $222.99 (was $299.99, 26% off)

Black Technics EAH-AZ100 true wireless earbuds on a blue Amazon Black Friday 2025 background — Technics

See It

Technics’ EAH-AZ100 earbuds were a star of CES 2025 because they are the kind of “oh, maybe I get the whole audiophile thing” upgrade that threatens to make everything else in your drawer feel like airline freebies. Their Magnetic Fluid Drivers—tech trickled down from a four-figure wired in-ear—keep the 10mm diaphragms laser-stable and distortion-free, so bass digs deep without turning to mush and busy mixes stay sparkling instead of smeared. You get legit reference-grade sound on the go, Dolby Atmos support, excellent ANC that can hang with the big dogs, LDAC support for hi-res streaming (with compatible Android devices/USB attachments), and triple multipoint pairing that lets you bounce between phone, laptop, and handheld without rage-tapping Bluetooth menus. And with the AZ100s dipping in price, that’s your cue to grab a set and start re-listening to everything you thought you already knew.
