Before the new Sony WH-1000XM5 arrived earlier this year, the WH-1000XM4 was at the top of our best wireless headphones and best noise canceling headphones lists. And we still highly recommend them, especially now that they’re over $100 off.

Right now, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones retail for $228 at Best Buy. (Opens in a new tab). This is the lowest price ever and a significant drop from the full retail price of $349.

In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we called the headphones “Sony’s best pair of noise-canceling headphones to date” and described them as “a fine-tuned improvement that stands out as the best in the series, even beating the best-in-class Bose 700 in some areas.” Main “. We liked the excellent sound, great noise cancellation, intuitive smart controls, and impressive battery life of about 30 hours (with active noise cancellation enabled).

We love the Apple Watch Ultra here at Tom’s Guide, but there’s no denying that it’s an expensive smartwatch. Fortunately, Black Friday deals make Apple’s most affordable wearables even more affordable. Right now, the Apple Watch is on sale for $739 on Amazon (Opens in a new tab). This saves $60 and brings the price of the smartwatch down to an all-time low.

In our Apple Watch Ultra review, we said “The Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but Apple has made its best sports watch yet. Features like an action button and better battery life make it competitive with athletes in a way Apple hasn’t before.” We did note that they’re a bit big for little wrists, and the eye-drying price was a sticking point—and even at that discounted price, it’s still a great investment.

However, we think the Apple Watch Ultra justifies its entry fee with an abundance of useful features including a new action button that makes pausing the watch or recording running laps easier than ever. If you’re the adventurous type who takes their fitness seriously, this is a smart buy.

Given how popular it is to work from home, having a standing desk is a very easy way to upgrade your home office. It can also help improve your back, as well as mix things up throughout the day.

If there is only one buying tip you take from this live blog – please, make it that way. Don’t shop at the Apple Store Black Friday. It’s terrible if you’re looking for discounts. I say that as an Apple fan. When it comes to Apple equipment – you will find much better deals from authorized Apple distributors, such as Amazon, Walmart, etc. Unlike Apple, which bundles a gift card with eligible devices, retailers offer steep discounts on Apple equipment. . Here are some of my favorite Apple deals you can get right now.

Happy Black Friday, everyone! We’ll kick off this live blog with the biggest surprise deal of 2022. It’s a deal our readers seem to be taking advantage of, too. Best Buy once again has the LG A2 48-inch 4K OLED TV on sale for $569. This is the cheapest OLED TV we’ve ever seen. It’s so cheap, we decided to buy it and test it ourselves!

In our review of the LG A2 OLED TV, we said it delivers a great color picture, fairly powerful sound, along with a smooth and intuitive interface. We’ve found it reliable for gaming, but keep in mind you’re stuck with a 60Hz refresh rate and no HDMI 2.1 ports. Our main recommendation is to buy this TV when it’s on sale (like now) because it’s such a solid value when it’s discounted. Alert — the 48-inch model is an exclusive Best Buy, but Amazon has a 55-inch model on sale for just $796, and it’s the cheapest 55-inch OLED ever.
