In 2024, Black Friday has undeniably made its way to Australian shores in a big way. The American retail trend had been growing steadily in Australia, but it’s recent explosion in popularity could in no small part be attributed to the worlds largest online retailer: Amazon.
In our comprehensive Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals Guide, we try to fit as many Black Friday deals as possible into a long list format, to aid our fellow deal hunters in spotting the biggest discounts across all the major online retailers. There are countless deals to be found on tech items in the lead up to this Black Friday weekend, and it can be hard to cut through the noise, figure out what is worth buying, and which “50% off“ items have RRPs that are suspiciously double what they were a few weeks ago…
The following are PCMag Australia’s top picks from Amazon Australia’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales across a range of our favourite categories: From huge discounts on Apple gear, Laptops, and PC accessories, to Smart Home devices and Home Entertainment systems. Take a look!

Best Black Friday Headphones Deals
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) elevate the wireless earbud experience with significant improvements in sound quality, active noise cancellation, and overall performance. The upgraded Active Noise Cancellation is up to twice as effective as its predecessor, making it ideal for immersive listening in noisy environments. Transparency Mode has also been enhanced to let in more natural-sounding ambient noise when needed. The case now includes a built-in speaker and Precision Finding via the Find My app for added convenience. With adaptive EQ, customizable ear tips for a secure fit, and seamless integration with Apple devices, the 2nd generation AirPods Pro are a top-tier choice for audiophiles and everyday users alike.
The Bose QuietComfort series have been industry leading in both (as the name suggests) noise cancellation and comfortability. The QuietComfort SC model offers the same renowned noise cancellation and audio quality as the standard QuietComfort headphones but comes with a soft travel case instead of a hard one. Designed for all-day wear, the Bose QuietComfort SC features plush ear cushions and an ergonomic fit, making them perfect for travel, work, or leisure.

The speaker offers up to 14 hours of battery life, ensuring extended playtime, and the ability to pair two Wonderboom 3 speakers provides a true stereo experience.
