Usually, we find random posts on Social Media regarding Black Friday sales and post them as and when we see them. However, this year we thought it might be useful to produce a condensed and brief summary of the best deals we have seen over the last week or two.
Below is a list of the best wallet-emptying sales we found on the ‘interwebz’ thus far with associated links and a brief summary. We apologize in advance if your bank account suffers as a result!
The list is not fixed, there are always new deals popping up so stay tuned on our FB page for any further sales that crop up. If you find any cool deals feel free to also add them in the comments section below.
Update – these deals are now over for 2018 and some links have been deleted as the pages on the client sites for BF sales have gone as well.
Hifiman
This one surprised me in a good way. The recently launched RE2000 Silver and RE800 Silver got a 50% off promo for Black Friday & Cyber Monday. This could well be the best deal that I know of right now and you can order right away. They are also offering 50% off on the Edition S, RE600, HE400i, and the Mega/Super Mini DAPs so plenty to choose from.

The discount is pretty strong at just $49.99 instead of $299 for the ALO Audio Reference 8 premium cable upgrade. The free balanced Litz cable is priced at $149 which is also a great bargain.

iFi Audio
iFi is doing just one deal as a “dip your toes” in the water of Black Friday madness 2018. This could be the start of a new trend for the UK audio specialists. One deal it may be but it is a good deal with the nano iDSD Light Edition (LE) on Amazon US being reduced to just $99.
The price will change to $99 at midnight Friday EST so watch out for that because I suspect this will sell out pretty quick.
