Black Friday is officially over, but you can still find a whole bunch of awesome bargains this weekend. We're continuing to monitor the sites to bring you all the latest discounts that are still live - and there's still money off headphones, turntables, vinyl, collectables, speakers and more.
And even when the door does eventually slam shut on Black Friday, don't forget that the sales will continue into next week - and we'll be keeping our peepers on all the best Cyber Monday music deals and bringing them your way
One of our favourite turntable deals is still live - and that's a 20% saving on the Audio-Technica AT-LP3BK record player over at Amazon US. They price is still down from $249.99 to $199. It's one of the Louder team's favourite budget record players as it comes with a built-in phono preamp and sounds fantastic.
And the good news continues in the UK, because the perfectly portable Marshall Emberton Bluetooth speaker remains down from £149.99 to £89.99 on the official Marshall website. For less than £90, this is a cracking deal - and the discount cover the speaker in all four of its colour variations: Black, Cream, Black & Brass and Forest.
If Lego is your thing, you can't beat 42% off this super cool Star Wars AT-AT model. At only £191.99 on Amazon this would make an ideal Christmas pressie for someone.
As always following Black Friday, we don't know how long these deals will last for, so our advice is if you see something you like, grab it now before the deal is gone for good.

FAQ
When do the Black Friday music deals start?
This year’s Black Friday will take place on Friday, November 24 - the traditional sales day following Thanksgiving in the US. Online retailers are jostling for your attention by reducing the price on a whole load of products.
It’s also worth noting that the music deals won’t come to a sudden stop at midnight on Black Friday, as the sales will continue right through the weekend and into Cyber Monday on November 27. In recent years, we’ve also noticed many top music deals remaining beyond then and in the run-up to Christmas.
What deals should I expect to see?
There's money off a whole heap of tech products this Black Friday, with top deals from household names including Sony, Marshall, Audio-Technica, Bose, JBL, Apple, Amazon and more. We expect those names and more to come to the fore once again.
We’re keen to spot what headphones go on sale, and we’re even hoping to see some of our favourite budget headphones get further price cuts to become even more appealing. For example, last year we saw the neat Samsung Galaxy buds slashed to below the $70 mark, while a number of Marshall speakers were also knocked down in price big time in both the US and UK, including power hitters like the Acton II.
There's also sure to be some great booze bargains, two-for-one deals, savings on Lego kits and band merch, money off music biographies, reduced prices on TV and music streaming services, iPads, laptops, TVs and more.
We’ll have our bargain snipers locked on target to bring you the biggest and best Black Friday music deals.
How to prepare
1. Make notes: First off, make a note of the products you’re interested in and mark down their current price. This will let you see at a glance how much of a saving there is on a product you really want. Amazon’s list function really come into its own here as you can create individual folders to keep everything neat and tidy. I already have a ‘Black Friday’ list on the go, with the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones taking pride of place at the top as I really want to get a pair for a good price this year. Fingers crossed!
2. Decide your budget: It’s easy to be tempted to dive right into a great deal when you see it, but keep your budget in mind before flinging your chosen product into the basket. You don’t want to overpay for something you might find cheaper elsewhere. Here at Louder, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for awesome deals across the internet and posting them right here for you to see.
3. Sell older products in advance: If you’ve got your heart set on on upgrading a bit of kit such as a turntable or Bluetooth speaker, selling your older model before the Black Friday music deals kick in could net you a decent chunk of change to spend on that shiny new bit of tech when the sales get under way.
4. Sign up to retailers’ mailing lists: One of the quickest ways to get a heads up about what’s going on sale or when the savings are due to begin is to sign up to an online retailer's mailing list. Getting this info early could steer you in the right direction of a top deal on a product you really want quickly. Sure, constant emails after the event can get a bit annoying, but you can always unsubscribe at any time you want. Also, keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly, as we’ll be on top of all the best Black Friday music deals.
How we choose products
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 our picks
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. 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.
