Target’s Black Friday sale is in full swing, featuring deals on products across various departments, including clothing, toys, electronics, and more. I’ve rounded up the best tech deals you can find right now and will continue to do so throughout the sale.
The Best earphones and headphones Black Friday deals
The new 2nd Gen. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds came out this August, and are great earbuds (I’m wearing them as I write this). They’re one of the best earbuds of 2025, and they’re $50 off. Target currently has them for $249.99 (originally $299.99).
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 are the best bone conduction headphones of 2025—but if you want to save some money, you can get the older generation for cheaper. They’re on sale for $124.99 (originally $159.99).
The WH-1000XM5 are a generation behind, but just last year they were the best headphones for audio quality up until they were succeeded by the XM6. They’re currently $249.99 (originally $399.99), their lowest price they’ve ever been.
If you’re looking for a great deal on budget earbuds, the JBL Vibe Beam 2 are only $39.99 (originally $64.99).
The best QLED TVs on sale for Black Friday
I’m impressed with my TCL NXTVISION 4K QLED Smart Frame TV and how realistic the paintings look in art mode. It doesn’t cost anything extra to get art, and it comes with a frame of your choice (neither can be said about Samsung’s The Frame). The matte display is great for bright rooms, even with direct light, and the image looks incredible. You can get the 65-inch for $799.99 (originally $1,399.99).
If you don’t need a huge hanging piece of art on your wall and are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the 55-inch TCL Class Q6-Series TV is just $279.99 (originally $449.99). Not bad for a QLED.
VR headsets are normally very expensive, but there is one that is significantly cheaper than the rest. The Meta Quest 3S is incredibly affordable, relatively speaking. The 128GB version is $249.99 (originally $299.99) and comes with a $50 Target gift card. A great deal to get into the VR world for the least amount of money.
The best deals on Black Friday tablets
The 32GB Amazon Fire HD 10″ came out in 2023, but it still works great. This budget tablet is a good value for anyone looking to have a portable and capable tablet for very little money. Get it for $69.99 (originally $139.99).
If you’re looking for a smaller and newer tablet for even cheaper, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet is $54.99 (originally $99.99).
For those with a little more budget and looking for better features and specs for a better budget tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11″ Tablet is Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11″ Tablet is $199.99 (originally $269.99).
The best portable speakers deals for Black Friday
The JBL Charge 6 is a powerful yet portable speaker that came out this year. Its sound is powerful enough to completely fill up a big room with a full sound and maintain its sound quality while doing so. You can get it for $129.99 (originally $199.99).
What do you think so far?
If you want a smaller and cheaper speaker, the JBL Flip 7 is $109.99 (originally $149.99). However, if you can spare the $20, the Charge 6 offers a better value.
The best Black Friday laptop deals
There are good deals on laptops. With some powerful ones starting in the $400s, your money will go a longer way if you get something with at least 16GB of RAM and at least an Intel or Ryzen 5 processor. One example is the HP Essential 255 G10, with a Ryzen 5 processor and 16GB of RAM for $459 (originally $918).
If you can spare close to another $100, the HP 255 G10 is with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, is $568.99 (originally $1,137.99). An incredible value for your money.

Do you need to be a member to shop Target’s Black Friday sale?
You will need to be a Circle member to take part in the sale, but unlike a Prime membership, Target Circle is free. You can sign up for an account on the Target app or Target.com.
You can also pay for a Target Circle 360 membership, which grants you early access to the sale as well as other perks, like same-day delivery. If you’re a government assistance recipient or a student, you can save 50% on the one-year Circle 360 subscription; otherwise, it starts at $10.99 per month. But again, a paid membership isn’t necessary to get all the best deals.
