Mingle with the popular crowd and discover which deals have been proven to be the hottest in town
While Black Friday sales in Australia don’t officially start until Friday, November 29, Amazon has, in typical fashion, been offering some incredibly tempting deals for nigh-on a week now.
We’ve seen the usual suspects such as headphones, Bluetooth speakers, stick vacuum cleaners, air fryers and PC peripherals all dropping to exceedingly low prices, but for all our recommendations of the best deals to buy – which you can view in our Amazon Black Friday sale live blog – what have TechRadar readers actually been buying?
Well, quite a variety as it turns out. My team of experts and I have been monitoring Amazon’s Black Friday sale since it began on November 19 to find out what the most popular items were. Power banks feature prominently, as do the AirPods Pro 2, along with Amazon devices including the recently-released Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024) and the Fire TV Stick 4K.
I’ve rounded up 15 of the most popular deals here as chosen by our readers so far. If you don’t like anything you see, be sure to check out our in-depth Black Friday deals round-up factoring in all of Australia’s major retailers.
Save AU$4.50
The B6 is the top-rated budget option in our best power banks buyers guide and outperforms much more expensive models. Ignore the listed RRP – AU$29.99 is the normal price, and while this isn’t the cheapest we have seen, AU$25.49 is a decent discount.
Need a larger capacity? The Iniu B5 has a 20,000 mAh capacity and is currently 33% off – on sale for AU$39.99.
Save AU$71
Amazon did discount Apple’s premium ANC earbuds to under AU$300 at the start of its Black Friday sale, but that has seemingly ended, with a AU$71 discount now the norm. Fortunately, JB Hi-Fi is sticking with the all-time low price, making it the best place to grab them right now. Offering sensational sound and ANC performance, along with several recent firmware updates that have ushered in many new features, they’re the go-to pair for iOS users.
Buy from JB Hi-Fi AU$289
Save AU$62
Announced in October, Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has already been proving popular. It’s available in a new colour, Metallic Jade, alongside the usual Black, and can be snapped up with a 19% discount. This new model features the best black-and-white e-paper display yet, alongside a speedy processor, attractive looks and a huge 32GB of internal storage. You also get wireless charging that no other ereader brand offers.
Save AU$25.
