Black Friday deals aren't always announced beforehand. That's why I'm listing the products I should think you should keep an eye on for Black Friday discounts, because they are great.
Sony WF-1000XM3: Amazing mid-tones
What's this, a more expensive TWS than all 180 wireless earbuds I've tested on this site? Yes, this may be THE chance in the year to get the Sony WF-1000XM3 at a reasonable price. The Sony is a great pair of earphones when it comes to sound, especially if you love listening to acoustic, jazz, blues or classical music. Mids and upper-mids just sound incredibly juicy on it. Guitars, violins, higher-pitched male and female vocals, piano play and drums: they come with so much impact, openness and detail on the Sony - it has an advantage over many cheaper wireless earbuds indeed.
Not all is fun and games, though: in crowded modern music such as pop and dance, the WF-1000XM3 can loose a little of its dynamics, and the bass isn't the strongest either - even if you tweak it via the excellent app. By the way, it's good to know that these earbuds sound much better than the Sony WH-1000XM3 over-ear headphones - much more open and detailed.
Good to know too: the earpieces are quite big and lack an official waterproof rating. The ANC noise cancelling is rock solid though - comparable to the best options under $100: the Tronsmart Apollo Bold and Oppo Enco W51. It is a terrific TWS, all in all. Black Friday may be a great chance to pick these up.

Mpow M30 - fantastic earbuds for sports
The Mpow M30 is one of my go-to pair for working out and sports, along with the fantastic Fiil T1XS. It has a treble-emphasized, hugely uplifting sound that resolves a lot of detail in the vocals and higher frequencies even when you're running or otherwise working out. Comfort and controls are great, and the model comes with sturdy yet flexible enough sport-wings in three sizes, to make sure the earbuds stay in your ears tightly. Mpow already announced to have this model extensively discounted on Black Friday, so knock yourself out!

Earfun Air Pro/ Edifier TWS NB2: Allrounders
The Earfun Air Pro is a rebrand of the Edifier TWS NB2 (review here). It normally comes in at $80 or even $100 on Amazon, but it may be cheaper on and around Black Friday. The Air Pro or TWS NB2 is an extremely versatile pair of wireless earbuds, with decent noise cancellation, truly excellent Ambient Mode so you can hear your surrounding traffic or people talking when listening to music, a IPX54 waterproof rating, a warm sound with plenty of bass, and great call clarity. The biggest treat of all is its battery life, though: the Earfun Air Pro and Edifier TWS NB2 last a stellar 7 to 9 hours on a single charge!

Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus is probably the most premium pair of TWS you can get for under $100 now, with impeccable build quality of the earbuds and a classy case. It has a fantastic app that lets you tweak all kind of settings - and the sound. In this regard, the Gbuds Plus doesn't have the bass strength or depth of the fantastic Fiil T1 Pro or Fiil T1XS, but it does have natural mids, which make especially guitars sound neutral, clear and lifelike. This is a great pair for acoustic rock songs. Regular price $90 to $120, now around $75!

Edifier X3 - The best option on a tight budget
If you need a single ultra-cheap TWS wireless earphone that can do it all, or seek a model for your kid(s) - the Edifier X3 may just be it. For this little amount of money, it has an ultra-compact case you can slide easily into any pocket, and it delivers up to 6 or even 7 hours of playtime on a single battery charge. And that's not all too: it has great video playback on both iPhone and Android phones, delivers clear calls and it's sound quality is convincing too - with slightly boosted bass and elevated upper-mids, which make vocals sound prominent. The X3 already is a steal normally, coming in at just 25 to 34 dollars - but now may be the time for an even better deal.

Only $18 instead of $25 on AliExpress
Mpow Mbit S - Bass-excitement, now in US too
Somehow, this model is being a bit overlooked, but oh boy - if you love a bit of bass, take note. The Mpow Mbit S has a strong, uplifting mid-bass thump, powerful sub-bass and plenty of emphasis on the higher tones, to make music sound open and uplifting. That is - on higher volumes. On lower volume, the Mbit S is an ideal laidback companion for background listening. And you can, as the Mbit S offers 6 hours playtime on a single charge. It's comfortable to wear, IPX8 waterproof - so you can take a shower with it too - and it's perfectly doable to take a call with it as well. It's among the best wireless earbuds under $50, and possibly even cheaper these days.

Jabra Elite 75t: If you need multipoint connection
The best cheap wireless earbuds under $100 with multipoint connection, meaning you can switch between using these on your desktop/ laptop and phone without trouble? There aren't any! Really - multipoint connection is a rarity on wireless earbuds, unfortunately.
The Jabra Elite 75t is an exception. It has multipoint connectivity, meaning you can use them for having a Zoom meeting on your computer and then take an incoming call on your phone, all on your earbuds. If you have this pair, please share your experiences with this in the comments under this article.
Because: I have NOT tested these myself. I don't know how they sound, how good they perform against the best wireless earbuds under $100 - but they do have multipoint. And even noise cancelling, after a new software update, so I'm told by one of my readers! Check out their price today.
Jabra Elite 75t on Amazon US (regular price $150-180)
Jabra Elite 75t on Amazon Germany (regular $150-200)

Or… go for great Black Friday deals on brand new wireless earbuds!
Fiil T1 Lite
The cheapest new wireless earbuds of the absolutely amazing Fiil-lineup, already heavily on sale for Black Friday. The T1 Lite seems to be the same model as the great Fiil T1 Pro, but without the active noise cancelling (which didn't add much) and sport-wings. I hope to have a pair and review myself soon. If it sounds as good as the T1 Pro, it could just be the best sounding TWS under $50. Normally, the T1 Lite costs around $40, now it's down to around $34 on AliExpress!
SoundPEATS Sonic
I've just stumbled upon this fresh new pair of wireless earbuds myself, and they are already on a huge sale on AliExpress: the SoundPEATS Sonic. Now, this brand already has released some fantastic cheap wireless earbuds, like the TrueDot, TrueShift 2 and brand new TrueAir2, and the Sonic shows promise as well. SoundPEATS claims these earphones can last 15 HOURS ON A SINGLE CHARGE. That would beat the current battery record by 6 hours… if true. Whoah. I'm taking the gamble. Already on sale for $35 instead of $45 on AliExpress!
SoundPEATS TrueAir2
Speaking of the SoundPEATS TrueAir2: this just reviewed TWS may be on sale these days too. Even if they aren't, these are excellent value for money. The SoundPEATS TrueAir2 is the best cheap AirPods-alternative (read my review), with huge comfort, 4,5 hours battery life per charge, truly terrific call clarity even outdoors, and they sound great too - with strong bass, warm underlining and vivid upper-mids. Normally $40 on Amazon US, Amazon Germany, other Amazon stores or AliExpress - now?
Haylou T16 ANC
I should have gotten the Haylou T16 by now, but unfortunately, I ordered it from the wrong seller weeks ago, and it didn't arrive. I hope to receive and review another pair soon, as Haylou is both hugely popular and often great sounding… and the T16 is the first pair of ANC active noise cancelling earphones from the brand. It seems to be compact and straightforward in controls, so check this one out on AliExpress. On sale (with some coupons) at $50 instead of $70.
Tranya T10
Not a new model, but a mention nonetheless. If you value earbuds that deliver excellent call quality for phone calls and Zoom meetings, but you don't like stems, check out the Tranya T10 on Amazon US, Amazon Germany or on Tranya.com.
The best Black Friday gaming headset deals
HyperX Cloud II - now only half the price!
There is a huge discount on one of the most comfortable gaming headsets under $100. The HyperX Cloud II costs $80 regularly, but now can go as low as $50! It's a headset with a crisp, clear mic and two sets of cushions. One of them is possibly the softest you can have on any gaming headphone. The Cloud II has en emphasis on (upper) mid-tones so you can hear footsteps and action on your left and right clearly, even when opponents run on sand or grass. It's great for music listening too, and for this purpose, you can remove the mic.
Normally $80, now down to $50 on Amazon US, Amazon Germany, other Amazon stores or AliExpress
