Some of the best Black Friday deals are already upon us even though the big sales event doesn’t officially start until the end of November. That includes some fantastic Amazon Black Friday deals such as being able to save 46% on your first four months of an Audible membership. If you’ve been considering trying audiobooks for a while, this is a pretty sweet way of discovering what’s so great about the service, all while saving plenty of cash.

Ordinarily, Audible costs $15 per month but right now, Amazon has cut the price significantly. It’s now just $8 per month for your first four months meaning you can enjoy the benefits of Audible for way less than usual. For the money, you get 1 credit a month to buy any title from the full premium selection to keep forever. Better still, you get access to the Plus Catalog which means the ability to listen to thousands of Audible Originals, audiobooks, podcasts, and much more without needing to use up any credits. If you do choose to buy any additional premium selection titles, you get a 30% discount as well as access to exclusive sales that Audible hosts often.

Audible is the home of plenty of fantastic audiobooks. Right now, you could use one of your credits to download the audiobook of movie sensation, Dune, or Dave Grohl’s autobiography, The Storyteller. There are plenty of choices for everyone here ensuring whether you’re in the mood for fantasy, crime, or learning something new, there’s an Audible option for you here. A series of Audible Originals is also a great bet with some great stories or non-fiction that you simply can’t get anywhere else. Whatever you listen to, you can enjoy Audible on pretty much every device imaginable so you’re sure of a great time.

Normally priced at $15 per month, you can get Audible for just $8 for your first 4 months right now. The offer is for a limited time only so grab it now while you can and see just how relaxing and fantastic it is to have so many audiobooks at your disposal.

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
