Black Friday 2021<\/a> is just around the corner, and a huge range of consumer tech is set to be discounted from a wide range of categories. If you\u2019ve got your eyes (or ears) on some new earbuds, the sale could be a fantastic time to bag a bargain.<\/p>\n

Since the tragic demise of the headphone jack on most phones, earbuds have become a must-have piece of kit. Apple, Sony, Sennheiser and a host of other brands have all released their own top quality sets, offering seamless connectivity and impressive sound. In this piece, we\u2019ll be weighing up which brands could offer the best savings this Black Friday and helping you figure out which retailers will be slashing prices.<\/p>\n

Our experts have tested a huge range of the best wireless earbuds<\/a> out there and are well-placed to help you find a bargain. However, it\u2019s important to consider a few factors before you begin your earbud bargain hunt. Firstly, what features do you want? For example, is active noise cancellation important to you? This can help you focus on audio playback in crowded, noisy environments or make phone calls possible on a busy commute.<\/p>\n

Secondly, how much are you willing to pay for your earbuds, and which devices will they need to be used with? Establishing a budget is always helpful when on the hunt for a new device, and noting which devices you use it with may also narrow the search. For example, while Apple\u2019s AirPods can be used with a wide variety of devices, they work best when used in conjunction with other Apple tech \u2013 iPhones, iPads and Macs.<\/p>\n

Whatever you\u2019re hunting for this sales season, we\u2019ll be providing regular updates throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021, so revisit this page, our technology<\/a> section and our Amazon Black Friday deals 2021<\/a>\u00a0page to catch all the latest bargains.<\/p>\n

Black Friday 2021<\/a> falls on the 26th of November, with Cyber Monday 2021<\/a> shortly afterwards, on the 29th of November.<\/p>\n

Many retailers start their Black Friday sales early, though \u2013 in an attempt to attract shoppers to their sites, rather than the competition\u2019s \u2013 so it\u2019s worth having a look around before Black Friday itself.<\/p>\n

Take a look at our Argos Black Friday deals 2021<\/a> and John Lewis Black Friday deals 2021<\/a> pages to stay ahead of the game.<\/p>\n
