For Black Friday 2021, Amazon was much less specific about the offers than we would see than it has been in previous years. The initial Amazon Black Friday deals press release indicated product category savings that would be observed, but no specific bidding as we saw last year. While a little worrisome at first, it looks like Amazon has been really successful and has come up with a whole slew of great deals this year with Black Friday prices already going on for tons of products. We’ve curated a list of our favorites below.
Amazon has matched some of the more popular Black Friday deals from other retailers throughout the month, like the $ 159 AirPods Pro, an earlier AirPods sale, and the online retailer is even beating other retailers for price cuts announced for later this week. Retail stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day, which means there will be a lot of additional online shopping, and Amazon could be one of the best places to do it all this year.

With the arrival of the new Beats Fit Pro headphones, I assumed we would see nice discounts on the earlier, less feature-rich Beats Studio Buds, which cost $ 150, just $ 50 less than the new Beats Fit Pro. at $ 200. I predicted we might see their price drop to $ 100 and sure enough that’s what their price is (and a new low).
The Beats Studio Buds are a lot like the Rodless AirPod rumors that people were talking about but never materialized – as AirPods anyway. Aimed at iOS and Android users, they lack a few key features on the Apple side (there’s no H1 or W1 chip), but they’re small, lightweight headphones that are comfortable to wear and sound good. They fit most ears securely, including mine – I run with them no problem – but others may find a better fit with the Beats Fit Pro and their built-in wing tips.
Note that using the code PARZPPJADUODB upon checkout, you will get an Amazon credit of $ 10 on top of the initial discount.

Will Amazon have the PS5 or Xbox Series X for Black Friday?
Honestly, it’s unknown at this point. Amazon could host another restocking event anytime over the weekend. As it stands, we expect GameStop to have some in-store availability on Thanksgiving night, but nothing else is confirmed or rumored at this point.
