45 of the best early Black Friday 2025 deals at Best Buy

Table of Contents

Best Buy started offering Black Friday deals earlier than everyone else (on Halloween — scary!), but it’s not the only retailer in Black Friday mode anymore. Most major retailers’ early holiday discounts are now live, making the competition pretty ferocious.

After spending a full day combing through Best Buy’s virtual shelves and cross-checking its prices, I can tell you that a lot of its early Black Friday deals are being one-upped elsewhere. Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, Sony portable speakers, several LG and Samsung 4K TVs, and other gadgets carrying its “Black Friday deal” badge are anywhere from $1.99 to $70 cheaper at other retailers. (Amazon is the biggest culprit, as per usual.)

I know most people don’t have the bandwidth to do the same research, so I’ve compiled a list of the very best early Black Friday deals at Best Buy below. I’ve only included deals that aren’t cheaper anywhere else, but know that many are being price-matched by one of Best Buy’s rivals. I expect it to get more aggressive during its official Black Friday sale, which runs in stores and online from Nov. 20 to 29.

Why shop at Best Buy over Amazon, Target, or Walmart this holiday season? For one thing, it’s giving away bonus rewards to paid My Best Buy members who drop a certain amount of money on certain products. (Spend at least $299 on a smartwatch, for example, and you’ll get $30 to spend on a future purchase.) Best Buy is also running some limited-time doorbusters every weekend through Christmas, which typically involve discounts of well over 50% on popular products. If nothing else, be on the lookout for those.

Best TV deal

Why we like it

QLED TVs are brighter than your standard LED displays (but not as expensive as high-contrast OLED TVs). Mashable’s Leah Stodart thinks they’re “ideal for people whose TV usage happens mostly in the daytime, especially watching sports.” Best Buy has this 50-inch Hisense model marked down to just $200 as an early Black Friday deal, beating its October Prime Day offer by nearly $40. It’s currently sold out on Amazon.

Best laptop deal

Why we like it

I only see a few gaming laptops dip below $600 every Black Friday season, and they tend to sell out pretty quickly. This 15-inch HP Victus model has a 144Hz display, a backlit keyboard with a numpad, and an HDMI port in case you want to hook it up to a TV. Now 395 off, it’s currently the same price as the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE, our favorite Chromebook for gaming, which lacks a discrete GPU. (Chromebooks can only stream games; you need a dedicated graphics card to play AAA games natively.)

Best earbuds deal

Why we like it

The second-generation QC Ultra are the best noise-cancelling earbuds we’ve tried. “As a premium option, you’d be hard-pressed to find earbuds with a better combination of comfort and noise cancellation,” wrote lead shopping reporter Bethany Allard, our reviewer. Best Buy’s pre-Black Friday deal of $249 (or $50 off) deal matches their record-low price on Amazon. Take your pick from five colors.

Best portable speaker deal

Why we like it

The new JBL Charge 6 is our favorite Bluetooth speaker for most people: It’s “big enough to produce sound that will fill an outdoor party, yet still small enough to live on your bookshelf,” our experts said. It can also charge smartphones, headphones, and other devices via USB-C — very handy. Best Buy, Amazon, and the JBL website all had it on sale for $129.95 at the time of writing (or $70 off). That appears to be an all-time low.

Best fitness tracker deal

My Best Buy Plus and Total members get a $30 bonus reward for spending $299 or more on smartwatches and accessories.

Why we like it

A 2022 release, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 is a budget-friendly smartwatch with an always-on AMOLED display and a battery life of up to 11 days. It can track your steps, calories burned, respiration, an fluid intake, among other metrics, and it comes with over two dozen built-in sports apps. It’s the only early Black Friday fitness tracker deal I spotted at Best Buy that Amazon isn’t beating (just matching). It’s the same price on Garmin’s website, too.

Best vacuum deal

My Best Buy Plus and Total members get a $15 bonus reward for every $50 spent on floor care (up to $75).

Why we like it

The Omni C20 is a do-it-all robot vacuum that can also mop, empty itself, and wash and dry its mop pads. It offers 7,000 Pa of suction power, making it only a hair less powerful than the Eufy 10X Pro Omni, our favorite budget self-washing and drying robovac (which retails for $150 more). Best Buy and Amazon both have it on sale for $350, reviving its record-low price from October Prime Day.

Best kitchen deal

My Best Buy Plus and Total members get a $15 bonus reward for every $125 spent on small kitchen appliances (up to $75).

Why we like it

De’Longhi’s entry-level espresso machine has 15 bars of pressure and a built-in frother with two steam settings (one for heating milk and another for making latte art). In the cheapest Black Friday espresso machine deal I’ve encountered so far, it’s on sale for just $150 at Best Buy… and Amazon, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and Macy’s. It last hit that price in July.
