When do the 2025 Cyber Monday MP3 players deals start?

Cyber Monday always takes place on the Monday following Thanksgiving in the US - and this year's big sales day will kick-off on December 1.

I've been involved in covering Cyber Monday and Black Friday since 2019 and, while the majority of MP3 player discounts will land on Cyber Monday itself, I've seen deals begin to drop in way before that. As you can see above, some discounts have already arrived and I expect more to come in fast as we approach December 1.

Myself and the Louder team will be right here with loads of excellent MP3 player bargains, covering a wide array of budgets.

What MP3 player deals should I expect to see?

This will be my seventh year covering Cyber Monday and I always see a variety of great deals across the board on MP3 players.

This will be the first time Louder has dedicated a hub page to Cyber Monday MP3 player deals, but I've included them in some of our guides before and I expect to see deep discounts on the iconic Sony Walkman players, along with products from the likes of FiiO, Majority, Swofy, Zunate, Ashata and more.

I've been a fan of MP3 players ever since I got my first iPod back in the day, and while my silver iPod Classic is still going strong, it's starting to show its age, so I'll be looking to pick something up from the Cyber Monday MP3 sales too.

Most of the major retailers will have deals on, including Amazon, John Lewis, Walmart and BestBuy so I'll keep this page updated with discounts as soon as I see them.

Shopping tips

Before Cyber Monday arrives, I like to get a bit of preparation done in advance to ease the financial burden. Hopefully, some of these tips will help you in your quest to nab a brilliant new MP3 player

1. Keep a list handy: Keeping a list of the MP3 players you're keen on means you'll have a more focused approach when looking out for a great deal on Cyber Monday.

2. Budget: This year's Cyber Monday falls right around pay day for a lot of people. But to take some of the stress out of the big shop, if you can put some money aside for the sales, it can certainly ease the financial burden of grabbing a new MP3 player. I usually put a little bit of cash aside for Cyber weekend - not a lot, but even a little helps in the long run.

3. Shop around: Before throwing your money at a new MP3 player, comparing prices of the item you're keen on is well worth 5 minutes of your time. Prices around Cyber Monday can vary wildly, and some retailers will also throw in the occasional freebie. Check the small print and prices.

Myself and the Louder team are doing that so we can bring you some great MP3 player savings, so keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly. Also keep your eyes on our Cyber Monday music deals page.

How we choose products

I still buy CDs and I usually buy digital downloads from Bandcamp. Having a new MP3 player for these files is really handy - and it keeps my collection all in one place. So when it comes to choosing a new MP3 player, I take a look at what the big names have out in the market

I'll then look at what extras the MP3 player has: Does it have Bluetooth and wi-ficonnectivity? Does it have a touchscreen? Does it cater for wired or wireless headphones? How much storage space does it have? Is it portable?

I'll always highlight the important information to help you make an informed decision - and if there's a lesser-known MP3 player brand, I'll check it out thoroughly before recommending it to you.

As I mentioned above, I'm actively looking to replace my wonderful but ageing iPod Classic with a new MP3 player (Sony Walkman NW-A306, I'm looking at you) so myself and the Louder team will keep you up to date on all the Cyber Monday MP3 player deals as soon as we see them.
