Bose QuietComfort 35 II Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
There's a new Black Friday price drop on the legendary Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones, one of the best noise cancelling headphones ever made. Nowadays, there are other contenders including Bose's new updated model, the QC45. That said, it's still one of the best headphones around, and at this price it just can't be beat. At $179 it's a full $150 cheaper than the newest Bose QC45 model and $70 cheaper than the Sony WH1000XM4's Black Friday deal that we've mentioned below.
Sony WH1000XM4 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
The ever popular and highly rated Sony WH1000XM4 headphones are back down to $248. This is the lowest price of the year by $30. The WH1000XM4 is oft considered one of the best noise cancelling headsets under $400; it's comparable to the Bose QuietComfort headphones in terms of audio quality and noise cancellation and superior in terms of build quality.

New Apple AirPods Pro with MagSafe Charger
Save $60 off the newest Apple AirPods Pro. The updated model is mostly unchanged, but it does come with a new MagSafe wireless charging case. This just means that the new charging case easily connects to Apple's MagSafe wireless charger. No, that's not a big update, but at this price, it's actually cheaper than getting the older generation AirPods Pro.
2021 Samsung TU6985 70" 4K Tizen TV
A 70" Samsung 4K TV for $600 sounds too good to be true, right? Not on Black Friday. The Samsung TU69855 4K TV boasts good image quality in a huge screen, especially at such a low price point. It's also equipped with Samsung's Tizen smart interface, which offers a very intuitive and aesthetically pleasing UI.
Acer Swift 3 14" Intel Iris Xe Ultraportable Laptop
If you're looking for an ultraportable laptop at a low price, you can't beat this deal. The Acer Swift 3 weighs only 2.6 pounds and features a sturdy aluminum chassis. Despite the compact size, there's plenty of power under the hood, including an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor and the latest Intel Iris Xe graphics all for just under $500.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K HDR
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K normally goes for $49.99, but it drops to 50% off only twice a year: on Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. This is the least expensive 4K HDR capable smart TV stick you can buy. The advantage of using a Smart TV USB dongle instead of the built-in interface on your TV is that you can easily move your saved profiles, logins, and passwords from TV to TV.
Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC
Not only is this the best Alienware gaming PC deal right now, it's probably the least expensive prebuilt gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3060 Ti video card anywhere. With the RTX 3060 Ti video card selling for over $800 on eBay, getting a fully built Alienware system with an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SDD storage for $1399 seems like an absolute steal.
Xbox Game Pass Members (Including PC) Can Play Forza Horizon 5 and Halo: Infinite at Launch
Forza Horizon 5 is out on Friday and its shaping up to be one of the best games of the year. This game is good enough to be worth paying full price, but fortunately you won't have to. Forza Horizon 5 will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, which means you could enjoy this spectacular game come Friday for as little as $1. Halo: Infinite comes out on December 8. Your 3 months of Xbox Game Pass for PC will still be active by then.
Xbox Game Pass Members (Including PC) Can Play Battlefield 2042 Early on November 12 for 10 Hours
Battlefield is out on November 19, but Xbox Game Pass members can play the game one week early on November 12 for up to 10 hours. That will give you a chance to test out the release version of the game and decide if you want to preorder it yourself. Note that Battlefield 2042 will NOT be coming to Game Pass at launch, so if you do want to continue playing the game, you'll have to preorder the standalone game.
