Thanksgiving has finally arrived, which means we’re getting into the heart of the holiday shopping season. Black Friday sales are already in full-swing and you can take advantage of the best discounts from the comfort of your own couch. As always, Amazon has taken this commerce-driven holiday very seriously and there are some truly massive deals to score if you know where to look.

Because the Amazon Black Friday 2021 deals are so numerous and spread out, we’re keeping a close eye on the best possible purchases. Some recommendations stem from super-low prices, while others are simply solid discounts on proven products that don’t typically go on sale.

Here are some of the current standouts, but be sure to check back regularly to see what’s new:

New Apple AirPods Pro $159 (Was $249)

There are already a lot of great deals on this list, but this is the cheapest we have seen the latest AirPods pro all season. It’s nearly $100 off the retail price and makes the Pro model cheaper than the new standard model.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch $999 (Was $1,099)

We’re said it before and we’ll say it again: The iPad Pro’s screen will spoil you. So maybe it’s time you spoiled yourself and got one. With its blazing-fast M1 chip, mini LED screen, and an extremely deep well of apps to pull from, the iPad Pro can be a portable workstation for artists and content creators, a productivity portal for students to executives, or just a joy to behold for movie lovers, gamers, voracious readers, etc. … and all for $100-$150 less at the moment, depending on model.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device $24 (Was $49)

Amazon is always eager to discount its own hardware, especially when it encourages you to buy movies, TV shows, and other media directly from its own apps. As a result, the 4K Fire TV Stick is just $25 right now. Despite its low price, the hardware actually has some fairly impressive specs, including HDR support and UHD streaming for all the popular apps you’d expect. For this price, you could keep one in your suitcase or travel bag so you can stream your own content at a hotel rather than watching on your laptop or flipping through the in-room cable looking for reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Jabra Elite 85t True Wireless earbuds $149 (Was $229)

If you’re not looking to jump onto the AirPods train and you want a very solid pair of high-end wireless earbuds, the Jabra Elite 85T fits the bill. They offer active noise-canceling, like the AirPods Pro and the Jabras let you take control over their sound profile so you can tweak it to your own listening habits or audio preferences. This is a steep discount on one of the best pairs of wireless earbuds around.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones $279 (Was $329)

You love your family, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a break from them sometimes. Slip on these Bluetooth headphones, packed with industry-leading noise-cancellation technology, and it’s like you’re alone again, even if it’s just for a few songs. Or gift them to someone that’s got a long way to travel to get back home. A little peace and quiet is the gift that keeps on giving.

TheraGun Elite Massage Gun $299 (Was $399)

Bend down to check the turkey … put the presents under the tree with care … clean up after the nieces, nephews, and furry family members. There are a ton of reasons your muscles may be sore around the holidays and a percussion massager can be the relief you need. These top-tier therapy devices also make great gifts for athletes, folks who work on their feet all day, hunched and crunched desk workers—basically everybody with repetitive stress in their lives.

Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar $1,999 (Was $2,499)

If you’re an audiophile or a Dolby Atmos fanatic looking for a multidimensional experience that doesn’t require trying to rearrange your actual space, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar is the best all-in-one soundbar, bar none. It’s hefty—both in size and cost—but it’s got the key features to make it your primary speaker for years to come.

FAQs

Q: When is Black Friday 2021?

Black Friday 2021 is on Nov. 26. That said, the actual date isn’t nearly as important as it used to be. Black Friday is now more of a month-long deal and sale party, so keep an eye out for discounts coming from every direction from the moment Halloween ends until the bitter end of Cyber Monday.

Q: What is Black Friday?

Black Friday’s historical meaning traces back roughly half a century when it referred to a day full of heavy traffic and also the day in which businesses in the US started turning a profit for the year. It refers to the Friday after Thanksgiving. Most of that is irrelevant now, though, and Black Friday has become shorthand for the shopping frenzy that happens between the end of October and the beginning of December.
