When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November, and Cyber Monday follows on 30 November. Most UK retailers start their headphone offers in early to mid-November. The best-selling models can go out of stock before the weekend itself.

Our advice: shortlist two or three models now and check the price history. That way you'll know straight away whether a deal is genuine.

Which headphones should you buy on Black Friday?

The right pair depends on where you'll use them most. Commuters and frequent flyers get the most from noise-cancelling over-ear headphones. Gym-goers and runners are better off with secure true wireless earbuds. Home workers should look for a strong microphone and multipoint Bluetooth so they can switch between laptop and phone.

Over-ear wireless headphones

Over-ear headphones sit around your ears. They give you the fullest sound, the strongest active noise cancellation (ANC) and the longest battery life. They suit long journeys, open-plan offices and anyone who listens for hours at a time.

Look out for Black Friday prices on the Sony WH-1000X series, the Bose QuietComfort range, the Sennheiser Momentum and JBL's Tour models.

True wireless earbuds

Earbuds are small and pocketable, and they charge in their case. They're ideal for running, the gym and the daily commute. Premium earbuds now offer ANC, transparency mode and spatial audio that come close to full-size headphones.

Earbuds Black Friday offers are often among the biggest percentage discounts of the sale. Brands tend to cut prices on the previous generation when a new model launches.

Wired and sports earphones

Earphones are still worth considering. Wired models have no battery to charge and no lag. They're a sensible choice for gaming, older devices or a budget-friendly spare pair.

Sports earphones with ear hooks or wing tips stay put during workouts. Look for an IPX4 sweat-resistance rating or higher.

On-ear headphones

On-ear headphones press lightly on your ears instead of surrounding them. They're lighter and more compact than over-ears, which makes them a good middle ground for students and casual listeners.
