Today we are seeing even more Black Friday advertisement leaks, we just got our hands on Office Max and Office Depot’s holiday offerings. The companies have merged and will be offering the same deals from both retailers. We’ve gone through and picked out our favorite deals that you can expect on Black Friday:
It doesn’t get much bigger than Best Buy on Black Friday for a tech lover. And with a little over 2 weeks to go before Black Friday 2014, we’ve got the holy grail in our hands. Just like Target, Best Buy has beat the Black Friday ad leakers to the punch by releasing its biggest deals of the holiday season right on the front page of its website.
The deals will kick-off in-store Thursday, November 24th at 5pm and Friday, November 25th at 8am, but the ad specifically notes that you’ll be able to shop all-day long online both days. Doorbusters include a 4K Samsung 55-inch UHDTV for $899.99, all iPad Air 2 models $100 off, and Beats By Dre Solo headphones for $80.
So without further delay, here are our top picks for Black Friday 2014 at Best Buy as well as a sneak peak at the early sale beginning November 20th:
Amazon has the Beats Tour 2.0 In-Ear Headphones in black for $119.96 shipped. That’s more than $30 under the regular price tag and the lowest price we can find on a brand new 2.0 set from a trusted retailer. All four color options are available at the discounted price today: black, red titanium and white.…
The cover of Target’s weekly ad puts the spotlight squarely on Apple. This week only, you can get a free Target gift card worth $20-$100 with the purchase of select Apple products. We’ve featured better deals for all of these products in the past, but if you need one of these products now then Target’s deals are certainly better than paying full retail.
Target’s offer of a free $100 gift card with the purchase of an iPad Air is the best deal of the bunch. However, there’s a really good chance we could see an updated model released at Apple’s rumored October 16th event. If Apple does release a new iPad Air model, it will most likely be priced at $500 and it most certainly won’t include a free gift card. Reports from 9to5Mac have so far pointed towards the new iPad Air only being a slight upgrade over the current model:
…the iPad update is expected to be minor — likely adding a gold option, Touch ID and an anti-reflective coating on the screen.
That said, here are the deals:
The Polaroid brand is best known for its instant camera and film products but most recently, the miniature Polaroid Cube camera is getting all of the attention. Officially revealed just this week, the tiny, cubed shaped camera is designed to sit somewhere between a full on action cam and a more casual solution.
Head below for more details, availability and a brief introduction video:

Today, Ultimate Ears has announced that its well regarded UE Boom Bluetooth speaker has won a 2014 Gold International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) from the Industrial Designers Society of America (ISDA). Sitting atop the entertainment category, this marks the very first IDEA for Ultimate Ears as a brand but the fourth design award for the UE BOOM itself. The award is given out to excellence in product design, sustainability, packaging, concept and more. Today’s announcement points out that only 27 of the 2,000 entries received a Gold IDEA this year.
The popular Bluetooth speaker has also received great user reviews and has recently seen a $20 price drop on Amazon, Best Buy and the official UE site. While we have seen the unit for less, they rarely go on sale and not usually with all the color options available. Apple.com is still charging $199.95. Outside of pre-owned options and sketchy retailers, this is the current lowest price available.
The BOOM is designed to “change standard one-directional sound,” with a 360-degree experience that blasts sound out in every direction. It also features a 50 foot range to wirelessly change songs, adjust the volume and take phone calls. You’ll find 15 hours of battery life and the possibility of linking two of them together via the UE BOOM mobile app. For a complete rundown, head over to our review of the Logitech UE Boom and Mini Boom.
Silver and Bronze IDEA winners in the entertainment category included the NOOK Glow Light, Beats Studio Headphones, Jambox Mini and more. You can see the rest of this year’s winners on the official IDSA site.
You save an extra $10 on a certified manufacturer refurbished Beats Pill speaker for $140 shipped via the company’s official eBay store (in black, red, or silver – scroll down to view listings).

The Beats Pill features Tap-to-pair with NFC technology (30 feet BT range), internal mic for hands free calling, aux input, and comes with a carrying case, charging cable and 3.5mm audio cable. It has received a 3.9/5 star rating on Amazon.

Amazon offers the Beats by Dre portable Bluetooth speaker with a free $50 gift card for $252.63 with free shipping. Today’s price is the best deal we have ever seen for just the speaker (by $20), but the free $50 gift card makes this by far the best promotion we have ever seen on any Beats speaker. It features a USB port for device charging, tap to pair NFC connectivity, and the ability to be paired with a second Pill XL to pump out even bigger sound. Amazon buyers rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
