It is that sacred time of year again. The time of year when we look to the web to bring us consumer satisfaction from once-a-year discounts for some of our favorite things. Below you will find a collection of Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargains specifically curated for audiophiles. Specials will continue to roll out all week long leading up to Friday, so make sure you check this page periodically to stay up to date on all the latest and greatest price cuts and discount deals.

Noble Audio – 15% Off

With the recent release of two new IEMs (Kaiser Encore and Sage) Noble Audio is hot to trot with its wide array of custom and universal-fit IEMs ready for Black Friday. This year’s promo drops the price down 15%, and even throws in a free wireless BTS with the purchase of a Katana or Encore. The sale starts Friday at midnight and runs until Cyber Monday.

Woo Audio – 10% off

Woo gear rarely goes on sale, so a sitewide discount is a unique opportunity to grab something you have been eyeing for less than the norm. The 10% off sale begins Friday the 18th and runs until the 28th. Participants will also enjoy free shipping within the continental US.

KEF – Sale Pricing

KEF started a bit early this year, with a solid collection of combo freebie deals and discounted pricing across a wide range of products including headphones, speaker and desktop solutions. A highlight again for this year is the popular LS50 bookshelf, but you will have to wait until the actual 24th before the sale goes live. Much of the sale pricing is already in effect (as of 11/14), so check out the link below for all the good details.

Amazon Deals

Amazon deals can be great, especially for personal audio gear but timing can be a little touch and go. Steep discounts appear and disappear faster than the resolution in shaky connection to Netflix. We will keep the links coming below, weather the discount is currently taking place or coming soon.

ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 Bookshelf Speaker – $400/pair!

Warfedale Loudspeakers – 30% off

Westone W60 IEM plus Bluetooth Cable – Save $350

Westone UM10 $99.99 – Save $50 (11/25-11/28)

Audioquest Nighthawk Headphone – $350

1MORE MK801 Headphone – $47

Sennheiser HD 598 C Headphone – $99 (11/25)

If you have an Amazon Alexa-based device at your house you can check out the rolling specials from the online retailer that are only available from voice ordering special deals through the Echo interface. This is the first time Amazon has done something like this for Black Friday, they offered a similar promotion for their Prime Day celebration earlier this year with fairly good discounts on useable items. However, this voice-only sale also includes a free $5 gift card with any purchase over $10. Here is a link to all the discounts current in play, most noteworthy is the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO headphone for $99.99 (down from $179, just say “Alexa, order studio headphones” for the deal). If you don’t have an Echo yet, there are rumors it might go on sale closer to Black Friday for $139 – it is also available in white now. If you want to hook up the on-demand audio interface up to your stereo, you will have to go with the Echo Dot which is available for $50.

Amazon Echo in White – $139 (11/25)

Amazon Echo Dot – $49
