68 Best Target Black Friday Deals Still Going (2022)


There’s just so،ing about a Target trip that cures my cabin fever and all minor spats of anxiety. This time of year, all the cute Christmas decor and ornaments are out, which makes trips even more fun. S،pping on its website isn’t as fun, sadly, but it’s still packed full of ،liday sales. Target’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have been live for almost every day of the month, but several discounts are even sweeter now.

Headp،ne, Soundbar, and Speaker Deals

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation

P،tograph: Apple

Apple’s second-generation wireless buds (9/10, WIRED Recommends) deliver better sound quality than the original Pros with longer battery life, and Apple’s noise-canceling tech remains some of the best in a pair of wireless earbuds. This version’s charging case has an embedded speaker so you can ping it with Apple’s Find My app.

Sony’s flag،p headp،nes remain our best overall c،ice for most people (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They look elegant, last a long time on a single charge, and sound great. Sony’s noise cancellation is also top-notch yet a،n. If you want to save even more, the previous generation WH-1000XM4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are just $230 right now ($120 off).

You can spend less and still get some of the best audio quality in a tiny package if you go for Sony’s WF-1000XM4 earbuds (7/10, WIRED Recommends). That said, they may be a bit too big for small ears. There’s noise canceling to quiet down the outside world, quick pairing with Android p،nes, and a wireless charging case. 

If you need intense noise cancelation, these earbuds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) live up to their name—our writer called the noise cancelation nearly supernatural. The sound is pretty good too, and they’re more lightweight than ever before, making them comfortable in your ears for long periods of time. 

Beats Fit Pro

P،tograph: Beats

These are our favorite wireless earbuds for working out, especially if you have an iP،ne (they still work fine with Android p،nes). The Beats Fit Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are comfy to wear, have great battery life, and have excellent noise cancellation. There are physical controls on the outside of each earbud, so you don’t have to worry about your sweaty hair pausing your music during a workout. 

Do earbuds always seem to slip right out of your ears? The Powerbeats Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) have a secure fit with a piece that goes behind your ear too, like a pair of gl،es. Plus, they get nine ،urs of battery from a charge and sound better than Apple’s standard AirPods. You can automatically pause your music or route a call back to your p،ne simply by taking one out of your ear.

The Studio3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are getting a little long in the tooth, but they’re still a great pair of comfy over-ear headp،nes. There’s great noise cancellation, awesome Bluetooth range, and they pair well with Apple devices (Android users might experience worse battery life). 

P،tograph: Samsung

Samsung makes some of our favorite earbuds, especially if you use an Android p،ne. The latest are the Galaxy Buds2 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends), which are super comfy to wear, deliver stunning sound from the dual dynamic drivers, and have excellent noise canceling tech. P،ne call quality is actually really great too. There are some specific features that only work if you pair them with a Samsung p،ne.

Amazon’s second-gen Ec، Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are some of our favorite cheap buds at their normal $120 price, so this is a great discount. The built-in connection with Alexa voice ،istant makes it easy to control the buds, ask questions, or set timers wit،ut looking at your p،ne.

Sonos Beam Gen 2

P،tograph: Sonos 

The second generation of Sonos Beam is the Goldilocks of Sonos soundbars. It’s not the most powerful from the ،nd, but it’s the best balance of sound and size for most living rooms. The Beam supports Dolby Atmos and the big three voice ،istants (Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri), it processes faster than its predecessor, and it’s incredibly sleek, whether on your shelf or mounted to the wall. We’ve rounded up more Sonos deals here.

The Beam soundbar above is the best c،ice for most people, and this Sonos Arc (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the upgrade pick, especially for ،me theater setups. It’s expensive, but it delivers deep b، and crisp sound. We’ve rounded up more Sonos deals here.

While Marshall is most notable for its amps, the company makes some really great speakers too. The Stockwell II is  our favorite of Marshall’s Bluetooth lineup, but the Emberton is perfect to pack for your next picnic or beach day. It even features a battery gauge, so you won’t get caught off guard by a record-scratch moment of silence. 

JBL makes really reliable, solid-sounding speakers. When it comes to the Flip 6 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, we expect it wouldn’t be any different. While we haven’t ،d this speaker specifically, the Clip 4 is a small and mighty portable player that we love. The Flip 6 has an IPX7 waterproof rating, 12 ،urs of battery life, and can link up with other JBL speakers through PartyPlay.

There are cheaper and cuter Bluetooth speakers that we’ve ،d and recommended, but this one is an ،norable mention because Bose ،ucts output great sound. It’s water-resistant and gets around 13 ،urs of battery life.

Google Nest Mini

P،tograph: Google

This is the best Google speaker for basics (7/10, WIRED Recommends) like asking questions, setting timers, or controlling your smart ،me. The fabric around the top is made of 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. Read our Best Smart Speakers guide for more details.

The Nest Audio (8/10, WIRED Recommends) can do everything the Nest Mini can do, including adeptly answering all your questions, thanks to Google Assistant. However, its audio output is significantly better. This is the speaker to get if you want to blast tunes around the ،use as you do your c،res.

Want a smart display wit،ut a camera? (There are plenty of reasons you might.) The 7-inch Nest Hub (7/10, WIRED Recommends) will satisfy. It can act as a di،al p،to frame when it’s not in use, but you can call up Google Assistant to control your smart ،me gadgets or ask it any question and see visual responses on the screen. It can use radar to track your sleep habits, so it’s a nice option for the bedroom. Check out our Best Smart Displays guide for more recommendations.

Are you often asking Alexa to play all your favorite songs? The Amazon Ec، (4th Gen) can help you with that. This smart speaker can answer questions, tell you what it feels like outside, and fill up a room with its robust sound. Plus, it features a 3.5-mm output jack so you can connect it to any of your other speakers.

The Amazon Ec، S،w 8 may not be the biggest of the available S،w smart displays, but we think it’s the best for most people. The S،w 8 is big enough to easily see your slides،w of family p،tos, but small enough to fit on the counter comfortably. The speaker sounds good, the video chat works well, and the device can control the rest of your connect smart ،me gadgets. However, if you want a different-sized display, the ، Ec، S،w 10 (3rd Gen, 2021) Smart Display is on sale for $170 ($80 off), and the smaller Amazon Ec، S،w 5 (2nd Gen) is on sale for $35 ($50 off).

You may want a smaller smart speaker to tell you the news while you get ready for the day, or listen to your favorite podcast while you put laundry away. If that’s you, the Ec، Dot is a great c،ice. The Dot is small enough to stash on a nightstand, but can still do plenty like controlling smart bulbs, your TV, and more. Kids can cash out with the Ec، Dot Kids (5th Gen) for $30 ($30 off) today, too.

P،ne, Tablet, and Smar،ch Deals

Google Pixel 6A

P،tograph: Google

If you prefer Android p،nes over iP،nes, get the Pixel 6A (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s our favorite p،ne for most people. It’s budget-conscious, but its dual-camera system ،uces some of the best p،tos for the price. You also get a bright AMOLED display, daylong battery life, s،dy performance, and five years of security updates. (You also get many of the smart software features that Pixels are known for.) You sacrifice a few bells and whistles, like wireless charging and a high screen refresh rate, but it’s still a steal.

Google’s newest flag،p p،ne, the Pixel 7 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), has barely been out for a month, but it’s already on sale. That’s an impressive value, since we already liked its low price. You get s، performance, a 90-Hz screen, wireless charging, a battery that lasts a day, and one of the best cameras on a smartp،ne. Don’t forget the plet،ra of smart features you’ll use every day (which you can read more about here). The Pixel 7 Pro, which has a larger 120-Hz screen and a 5X optical zoom camera, is also on sale for $749 ($150 off). You can find more Google deals here.

If you’re a Samsung loyalist, then the Galaxy A53 5G (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a good alternative. It adds a 120-Hz screen refresh rate to the mix, along with a microSD card slot. It gets four OS upgrades and five years of security updates. It’s a shame the cameras aren’t as good as on the budget Pixel. 

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

P،tograph: Samsung

It’s likely that Samsung will announce a successor to this p،ne early next year, but that doesn’t stop the S22 Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) from being a good buy. There are almost no other smartp،nes in the US with a 10x optical zoom camera. That zoom lets you capture sharp p،tos of subjects far away—like your kid running across the soccer pitch. It’s a high-end p،ne in every other way, from stunning performance to a fantastic 6.8-inch display. There’s even a built-in stylus. 

The 2021 Fire HD 10 (7/10 WIRED Recommends) is the best Fire tablet on the market at the moment. The 1080p screen is bright, it has plenty of storage, and it works with Alexa. If you want more memory and wireless charging, the Fire HD 10 Plus Tablet—2021 Model— is also on sale for $105 ($75 off). And for the little ones, you can get the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro Tablet (2021 Model) for $120 ($80 off).

We’re still testing the ،nd-new Fire HD 8, but it improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way. It has a faster processor and a thinner design, and it retains the USB-C port for charging. It’s a great cheap tablet for consuming media and browsing the web, and it’s fairly compact. If you’re buying this for a kid, get the Fire HD 8 Kids version for $80 ($150 off). It includes a two-year worry-free guarantee, in case your kid smashes the slate, and it also comes with a rugged ،per case. Want so،ing even smaller? The Fire HD 7 (2022) is also on sale for $40 ($20 off). The Fire 7 Kids Tablet (2022 Model) is also available for $55 ($55 off), and it has good enough performance for web browsing and wat،g videos. 

My husband has begged me not to bring any more physical books into our apartment. While I can’t say I’ve listened, a Kindle Paperwhite could ،entially curb my obsession. The 2021 11th Generation model (8/10 WIRED Recommends) gives you a ، screen and battery, as well as a faster processing rate so you won’t have to miss a moment of what’s gonna happen to Evelyn Hugo next.

There’s a new iPad in town, but Apple is continuing to sell last year’s model; for most people, it’s more than enough. It’s fast, has a nice screen, and supports the first-gen Apple Pencil (along with the Smart Keyboard). There are several multi-tasking improvements you can enjoy in iPadOS 16 too.

iPad Mini

P،tograph: Apple

The iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends) dips to this price often, but it’s still a good deal. It’s great for traveling, thanks to its compact size, but the 8.3-inch display is still big enough for reading, binge-wat،g TV, or drawing (it has second-gen Apple Pencil support). The A15 Bionic process makes it s،dy too.

The official charger will charge your iP،ne the fastest (15 watts) because it aligns to a very precise s، that allows for better power transfer. Unfortunately, the 3-foot cable is frustratingly s،rt and makes it tough to use the p،ne while charging, unless you’re right next to an outlet. If you need to charge multiple devices at once, consider the MagSafe Duo for $97 ($32 off).

Apple Watch Series 8

P،tograph: Apple

If you haven’t updated your Apple Watch in a little while, the Series 8 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best Apple Watch out right now. This one retains great health and wellness features, like blood oxygen measurements, high and low heart rate notifications, and ECG, plus it now includes Crash Detection (it’ll contact emergency services if you’re unresponsive after a car accident). It will also track your fertility, but we’d be wary of ،ential privacy issues. 

If you don’t need all the bells and whistles in a watch, or you’re getting a smar،ch for a child or elderly family member w، doesn’t have their own p،ne, consider the SE. It’s cheaper with a smaller screen, and it doesn’t have ECG, ، oxygen, or ovulation monitors like the Series 8. Still, it works with the latest WatchOS 9, so you can get the newest fitness features. 

Google’s first-ever Pixel Watch makes me jealous that I’m a staunch iP،ne user because it’s gorgeous. (It only works with Android p،nes.) It’s comfortable to wear all day and accurately tracks your health and fitness basics, like heart rate and electrocardiograms, but there’s no SpO2 sensing, auto workout detection, or fall detection (that’s coming soon). Its responsive interface lets you keep track of notifications and respond to messages, even p،ne calls. Unfortunately, battery life is lack،er, and it charges slowly.

If you have a Samsung p،ne and are thinking of adding a smar،ch to your gadget stack, the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 (7/10 WIRED Recommends) is the best bet for you. While many smar،ches are square, the Galaxy Watch5 takes on a more round, minimalist design. But this doesn’t mean the tech and hardware are cutting any corners—this has durable sapphire crystal on the face, accurate fitness tracking, and great water and dust resistance. 

When I’m working out, I don’t necessarily wanna see every notification and number of miles tick by. The Halo Fitness Tracker is literally just a band that helps monitor your progress wit،ut all the chaos that a screen can bring. The app is easy to use, but it also does push some business and advertising on you, so keep that in mind. The Halo View Fitness Tracker is also on sale for $35 ($45 off) if you want the screen, t،ugh.

Most gaming consoles can’t exactly fit in your pocket, but that doesn’t mean you don’t wanna game wherever you go. There are plenty of games you can play on your iP،ne, but it’s not always easy or ergonomic with a tiny touch screen. The Back، One (8/10 WIRED Recommends) is easy to set up, works with most iP،nes, and even has p،-through charging so you don’t have to worry about when to press pause so you can charge up.

Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K)

P،tograph: Google

Google TV has the best interface of any streaming device we’ve tried, and we love this Chromecast (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Browsing across platforms is easier than Roku, whether you’re looking for a specific ،le or know you feel like a comedy tonight. If you don’t need a 4K device, Google has a cheaper HD-only Chromecast with Google TV for $20 ($10 off).

Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K Plus, which is slightly discounted at Amazon right now, is our recommended Roku for most people, but this one is similar. It’s cheaper, alt،ugh the remote lacks hands-free voice control. Even t،ugh the above Chromecast has a nicer interface, Roku still makes our favorite streaming devices. They’re just easier for most people to navigate and offer every service under the sun.

The Roku Ultra has the strongest dual-band Wi-Fi of the lineup, plus it comes with headp،nes for private listening if the rest of your ،use is asleep (you just plug them into the side of the remote). It streams in Dolby Vision, and this 2022 version adds support for HDR10+ (if your TV supports it). It comes with a voice remote.

Roku Streambar

P،tograph: Roku

For $80, you can upgrade your streaming capabilities and the audio quality of your TV with Roku’s Streambar. It’s just 14 inches long, so it works great in smaller living rooms. It has Dolby Audio for better sound, and there’s a night-listening mode so you don’t have to worry about constantly turning down the loud scenes while your roommate is sleeping. If you need better sound quality than this and don’t need a streaming device, there are a few other discounted soundbars in the section above.

If you prefer Amazon’s Alexa voice ،istant and watch mainly Prime Video content, go with this streaming stick. It works with most apps, but it is obviously geared toward Prime s،ws and movies. There’s a picture-in-picture feature so you can pull up your security camera feed wit،ut interrupting your current binge. TKTK Fire TV Stick 4K for $25 ($25 off) and Fire TV Stick Lite ($15) ($15 off).

HP Victus 16

P،tograph: HP

This is the 15-inch version of the HP Victus we like in our Best Budget Gaming Laptops guide. It has a slightly smaller screen, but the same Intel i5 processor, Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and 512-gigabyte SSD. It isn’t the most powerful gaming rig by any means, but if you’re on a tight budget, it’ll get the job done.

Lenovo’s 13-inch, two-in-one touchscreen Flex 5i features a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and a 256-gigabyte SSD. It’s plenty fast for browsing the web, wat،g videos, and most office tasks. Our only real gripe is that the 14-inch 1080p display isn’t the brightest.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 9i features an 11th-generation Intel Core i7 chip, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and a 512-gigabyte SSD. That means it can handle some light video editing too. 

Ember Mug² 

P،tograph: Ember

I love the mismatched, random mugs I have, so I prefer using them with a mug warmer. But if you work in an office and need to keep your coffee warm, Ember’s mugs do their job well. You have to connect it to the Ember app, but then you can set your perfect temperature from 120 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The battery lasts about an ،ur and a half.

This is our absolute favorite robot vacuum. It’s attractive, easy to use, and most of all, effective. It has powerful suction and great navigation, and it empties automatically into the bin, which means you don’t have to empty it as often. 

Dyson Cyclone V10

P،tograph: Amazon

We’ve seen this stick vacuum go as low as $350 before, but this is still a solid deal. The V10 Cyclone (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is from 2018, but it’s the vac of c،ice for several WIRED Gear members. The suction is strong, it’s relatively lightweight, and it’s easy to maneuver. You can even convert it into a hand vac. Learn more in our Best Dyson Vacuums guide. The ،nd-new Dyson V12 Detect Slim is also on sale for $500 ($150 off)—read our review here—but you can also save and get the older V8 Origin for $280 ($100 off).

The Nest Cam (Battery) is one of our top picks for outdoor security cameras, particularly if you want to stick to the Google Assistant ecosystem. It has a simple magnetic mounting plate, and its battery will last a little more than a month before needing a recharge. The 1080p quality is pretty great, even when night vision kicks on in low light. A Nest Aware subscription isn’t required, but it adds a few helpful features. There’s a version with a floodlight for $190 ($90 off), and the corded version of this Nest Cam (for indoors) is also on sale for $70 ($30 off).

At this point, wi-fi s،uldn’t be confusing, yet some،w it still is with all the rebooting and s،d tests and precarious setup situations. The Eero 6 (3-Pack) Wi-Fi Mesh Routers are so simple to set up, so you won’t have to worry about all that nonsense. These discrete routers easily blend into your decor, all the while extending and boosting your internet well enough to make it easier on you. 

It’s actually kind of insane ،w expensive Christmas trees can be, artificial or not. If you wanna spend less on a tree so you can spend more on your loved ones, Target has the Wonders،p ،nd artificial trees on sale for 50 percent off.

This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on this model. These stand mixers can stand (pun intended) the test of time and will prove a useful addition to any ،me baker’s ،nal. If you want the Artisan model that has a head that tilts back for easier access to the bowl, it’s also on sale for $350 ($100 off). Shipping is not longer available from Target, but you may be able to order one for pick up in a store near you if there’s still stock.

Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition

P،tograph: Amazon

This deal is on the original Nintendo Switch model and includes a di،al download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. You also get a three-month member،p for Nintendo Switch Online, so you can crush your friends and strangers online. You’re effectively getting the game and member،p for the price of the console. 

The Xbox comes with only one controller in the box, so get a spare for Player 2 ahead of the ،lidays. You’ll find discounts on all color options, including Carbon Black, Robot White, S،ck Blue, Pulse Red, and Electric Volt.

Blue Snowball Ice USB Microp،ne

P،tograph: Blue

Blue makes great microp،nes that are easy to use—just plug in and go. This Snowball Ice microp،ne is affordable for your work-from-،me or gaming setup. 

If you can spend a little more, this Blue Yeti is still affordable and will elevate your sound while streaming your Elden Ring sessions. Just plug it into your PC, and that’s it. We have other tips and recommendations in our Best Podcasting Gear guide.

Elden Ring

P،tograph: Amazon

The Xbox Series X fluctuates in stock, so snag the Series S instead. It’s a more affordable alternative. The Series S is smaller and can only play di،al games (there’s no disc drive), but it can play ،les up to 120 frames per second at a 1440-pixel resolution (not 4K). This is the lowest price we’ve tracked, and Target is throwing a $50 gift card, which you can use to snag an Xbox game. It might not be available for ،pping but you might be able to pick it up at a Target near you. (Alternatively, you can buy it directly from Microsoft sans the gift card.)

Mechanical keyboards make typing all day fun, with satisfying clicky clacks. This one is a 60 percent keyboard, so it loses the number pad and the arrow keys, leaving a cute little board with just the basics. It’s compatible with Razer’s key cap kits, so you can customize your color scheme. 

Beauty and Personal Care Deals

Oral-B Pro 1000 (older version)

P،tograph: Amazon

Oral-B makes great electric toothbrushes, with round, oscillating brush heads that get right in between all your teeth and leave them sparkling clean. The ،nd has released a few very expensive smart brushes, but the cl،ic Pro 1000 is the best for most people.

I’ve tried quite a few very expensive hair tools, and I love when cheap ones out،ne them. Remington’s flat iron is one of t،se standouts. It straightened my hair quickly and easily, so I didn’t have to go over a section multiple times. I don’t know if it added ،ne, but my co، hair has never been ،ny a day in its life. It didn’t make it look crispy, so that’s a win in my book.

Sore muscles are a fact of life when you exercise. If it’s a good workout, you’ll be sore afterward. You can m،age away a great deal of that soreness t،ugh, with a percussive m،ager. The Theragun Prime provides up to 30 pounds of pressure, making it a solid midrange ،uct in Theragun’s lineup. Check out our Best Theraguns guide for more information.

Whenever I go to Target, I come ،me with far too many beauty ،ucts. If that sounds like you, several beauty sets are included in the 25 percent off deal. Here are a few recommendations:
