2023 Amazon Early Black Friday Picks

Authors

My friends often joke that I'm a bit of a gear slut, always on the lookout for the latest and greatest gadgets and goodies. Well, they're not entirely wrong. I'm not sure if I've been blind the past few years but I stumbled across some crazy early Black Friday deals on Amazon that I just had to share as I use/have bought all of these.

SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey OLED G9

  • Price: $1200 (33% off)
  • Deal: I use this for my WFH setup. Single curved monitor and have window management to run three columns (usually Slack, Coding IDE & Browser). Absolutely love it. If you need other smaller sizes (understandable) they have a bunch ranging from 10-50% off here.

  • Price: $200 (40% off)
  • Deal: I use these all my travel. I feel they are the most comfortable on the market (moved from my Airpod Pro Max) and the noise cancelling is great.

Apple Series 9 41mm

Apple Series 9 41mm

  • Price: $398 (16% off)
  • Deal: I feel like Apple never has deals like this, so something I included. I personally use an Apple Watch Ultra and love it so I'm sure this is just as good minus more of the "adventure" watch features.

Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds

Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds

  • Price: $150 (40% off)
  • Deal: I use these personally and love them. They're great for working out, running, or just listening to music on the go. They're sweat and water resistant, and the battery lasts long and if you're like me, sometimes you forget to charge, and they have a way to quick charge for a workout.

Beats Studio Pro

Beats Studio Pro

  • Price: $170 (51% off)
  • Deal: I used to use these (and moved to Bose as I travel more) but enjoyed them and my brother still uses these and enjoys them so figured it was worth including.
