FAQs

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is the following Monday after Thanksgiving. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Monday, Dec. 2, 2024. 

Are soundbar and speaker deals really better on Black Friday?

Yes, you can usually find products that are rarely on sale with slashed prices during Black Friday. Many products on this list were released this year and are receiving discounts for the first time since their release. Additionally, Black Friday is a great time to buy home theater bundles instead of buying pieces of your home theater setup one by one.

What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Historically, Black Friday sales were reserved for in-person shopping, while Cyber Monday deals were online only. These days, more people conduct their holiday shopping online out of convenience, and retailers often offer deeper discounts when customers buy online. As a result, the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday have blurred, but both days are opportunities to find the latest tech at lower prices.

How did we choose these Black Friday deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy, including products we’ve tested, recommended, and used daily. Our experts find deals on products we’ve previously tested and compare prices across retailers to find you the best deal. However, some products are in such high demand that their discount barely scratches 20% off. We try to find deals with at least a 20% discount, but some devices are worth the money, and a little discount is better than no discount at all.

We base our recommendations on our testing, extensive research, and comparison shopping. We aim to pair our hands-on experience with customer reviews and price comparisons to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. 

Where can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? 

You can find plenty of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals across many retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, and directly from manufacturers. All retailers compete for your business this holiday season, so you can also find deals when buying directly from a manufacturer. 

Additionally, some retailers throw in a gift or subscription to entice you to buy from them. For example, Sony offers individual consultations when you buy its home audio products and Bose offers a 90-day return policy and holiday price-matching.
