It's smart to shop early for holiday gifts, but it could be crucial this year in order to ensure your gifts arrive on schedule. What if you want to save money and wait until Black Friday? Best Buy has an Early Black Friday Sale with discounts on gear that WIRED reviewers recommend.
Although there are many Black Friday deals, this sale is unique because it comes with a pricing guarantee. Black Friday Prices Guaranteed will pay the difference if the price of any item marked lower than now or November 26. But here's the catch: To participate, you must be a My Best Buy Member (free to join). Although the Black Friday price difference is not covered, there's a good possibility that these differences will be very small. It may be cheaper to save money and get your device in time than deal with delayed shipping or the possibility of selling out. Not all deals will be available after October 22. However, the deadline may extend.

The TCL 6-Series is the best TV available (9/10, WIRED Recommended) Although the price of the TV has fluctuated over the years, it is still a good deal at $100 less than the normal cost. Amazon and Walmart both match the price.
This model is full-priced at $800. However, you will often find it on sale for slightly less. This is the lowest price we have seen for the model that WIRED associate editor Parker Hall described as one of the most beautiful TVs on the market. You can also find other sizes at a discount. Amazon matches the deal.
This Samsung set is our top choice for bright rooms. This set is the best deal in Samsung's history. Mini LED backlighting with sharp contrast will ensure that your content is clear in any room with open curtains or while viewed at odd angles with family members during the holidays. Our in-depth review will provide more details. This deal can also be purchased at Amazon.
Headphone and Speaker Discounts

This amazing discount was available earlier in the week. The Sony WH1000XM4s (9/10 WIRED Recommends), are wireless headphones that you can't go wrong with. We think these headphones are worth every penny, owing to their excellent noise cancellation, long battery life, and lightweight design. This is a great deal at $100 off. Amazon and Adorama match the discount.
This headset is extremely comfortable. It's beautiful, but even more important, it sounds amazing and comes with stellar software. It is highly recommended. It is also one of the most affordable we have seen. Amazon offers it at the same price.
This match is an Amazon Black Friday early Black Friday deal that we saw a few weeks ago. The headphones are currently selling for $200, but they often sell at full price. The Beats Studio 3 (8/10 WIRED Recommends), have powerful bass and comfortable earcups. They also feature active noise cancellation and a W1 chip, which makes pairing with iPhone Bluetooth easy.
This deal is worth it for anyone looking for small 'buds with a punch. The 85t is now our recommendation, but the 75t can still be used. Active noise-canceling costs $80, which we recommend. Amazon offers a similar discount.
Although technically these aren't new, we think the price is still fair. The Galaxy Buds Pro (9/10 WIRED Recommends), have the best sound quality out of all the choices in our guide to wireless earbuds. They also come in a dope violet color, but they are also available in white and black. Amazon also offers this deal.

While there have been some discounts for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 (7/10 WIRED Recommends), most of these haven't applied the unlocked version. Despite its flaws (like the average battery life or how difficult it is to open with one hand), this folding phone is worth every penny, especially at this price. Amazon offers the same deal.
A 3-pack of these cameras can be purchased for $500, so if you are already looking to buy them, this deal makes economic sense. This deal is even more difficult when you consider that the Arlo Pro 4 Outdoor Security Camera is the Best. This bundle includes the cameras and batteries as well as a charging station, anti theft mounts and a yard sign. Some security and camera features require subscriptions.
Eufy's does not require a subscription, unlike other home security systems. The bundle includes two cameras as well as the HomeBase. A standalone camera is also available for sale at $100 You can read more about this system and other products in our guide to Outdoor Security Cameras.
We have yet to find a better deal for this watch. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (7/10 WIRED Recommends), is our favorite smartwatch. You can get it in two sizes and both are on sale. Amazon offers the same deal.
