Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deals: FAQ
When is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday always takes place on the day after the US celebrates Thanksgiving, meaning this year’s sales event will take place on Friday November 24 – followed swiftly by Cyber Monday on November 27.
Black Friday used to be an American-only shopping spree, but it’s an idea that has caught on globally in a massive way, meaning you’ll able to grab a deal or two elsewhere in the world, wherever you are.
What deals can I expect?
Before the best Black Friday Bluetooth deals really begin to start rolling through, just what can you expect from this year’s sales?
Last year’s Black Friday sales weekend saw savings on speakers from huge brands including the likes of Marshall, Bose, Ultimate Ears, JBL and Sonos. It's also guaranteed that we'll see fantastic deals on smart speakers, like Amazon's Echo range.
But it's not just wireless and smart speakers up for grabs at bargain prices on Black Friday. Our experts will also be on the lookout for hi-fi speakers to go with your record player rig, as well as soundbars to add an extra flourish to home tv and film streaming.
In terms of whene the deals will start, you can bet your bottom dollar the discounts will start coming much earlier than Black Friday itself, with many early deals rearing their heads from mid-October onwards. And if you don't get what you want on Black Friday, Cyber Monday should throw up some alternative that could last well into the following week.
How to find the best deals
Prices will undoubtably vary across the board during November's sales, so finding out where the best Black Friday speakers deals are taking place could be a bit of a challenge. However, here at Louder, we'll have our finger on the pulse so we can point you in the direction of some cracking bargains.
We also recommend you find the RRP of the product you're after so you’ll be able to see at a glance where the biggest savings can be made.
But what is it that makes a great deal? A drop in price might be obvious, but also keep your eyes peeled for extras that are often included in the price. It could be a two for one offer, a fresh subscription plan or an added bonus such as a free gift.
Where to find the best speaker deals
The best Black Friday speaker deals are going to rain down, but where should you cast your eyes for the best bargains aside from bookmarking this page? Online retailers including Amazon, John Lewis, Argos, Curry's, Best Buy and Walmart are bound to make sizeable discounts available to music fans, as will the official websites of brand such as Bose, Sonos and Marshall.

How we choose deals
We’ve reviewed many music products here at Louder over the years, with our team of experts and enthusiasts covering everything from headphones, speakers and turntables, to earplugs, books and smartphones.
That’s given us a broad overview of what’s going on across the musical landscape and allows us to compare and contrast products and pick out items that excite us and things we think you’ll like too. That means there's no room for tinny-sounding headphones or speakers that don’t cut the mustard.
Why you can trust us
Here at Louder, we’ve been covering big sales events including Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day for a number of years and have also created a wide range of buyer’s guides and product reviews. In those we dig deep into the essential specs of a product and also give hands-on information about how it performs, how easy it is to use and if it’s good value for money.
We test headphones, speakers and record players in a real-world environment - our living rooms or out on the streets as we feel this gives a more genuine insight into how you’ll be using the product. If we’re recommending a pair of earplugs for musicians, we test those either in the studio or up on stage to give accurate information.
We also give pros and cons for products in our buyer’s guides, while all our reviews always feature a couple of alternative options to give you as much choice as possible when it comes to choosing something that's going to be right for you.
That means, when recommending which deals you should shop, we have the knowledge to point you towards products that we rate, at the best prices.
