Yes, it’s that time of year again, and the Black Friday deals are already rolling in. The Amazon Black Friday deals have started especially early, with everything from Smart TVs to electric shavers taking a steep price cut before the holidays. Among those deals is the discounted Sony SRS-XB12 Mini Bluetooth Speaker. The waterproof and dust-proof speaker is perfect travel size, offering just the right combination of audio power and portability — and, most importantly, it’s currently marked down to half off on Amazon from $60 to $30. But you have to act fast if you want to take advantage of this early Black Friday deal, as it will only last another 16 hours.

The Sony SRS-XB12 Mini Bluetooth Speaker is the perfect investment for listeners on the move. Measuring at only 3 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height, the wireless speaker can be easily tucked into backpacks or set down on limited counter space. Plus, it comes equipped with a detachable carry strap to hang, carry, or clip the speaker to your bag, making it the perfect travel companion. Luckily, the speaker is just as durable as it is portable, manufactured to be both waterproof and dustproof to make listening possible in every and any environment.

But don’t let the mini Bluetooth speaker’s truncated size fool you — the sound quality still packs a remarkable punch, especially with its promise of powerful and crisp extra bass. And, if you purchase two or use a friend’s, you can wirelessly connect the pair to achieve a more stereo-like sound with the simple Speaker Add Function. You don’t even have to worry about them running out of juice, either, as they have an impressive battery life of 16 hours that’s easily rechargeable with the convenient USB cable that comes free with the purchase.

Listening on-the-go is made all the more convenient and stress-free with the Sony SRS-XB12 Mini Bluetooth Speaker. Perfectly compact with pristine sound quality, it’s the ideal wireless speaker for active and versatile listeners. And now more than ever, with the price tag slashed in half, is the best time to make the purchase. You could even get two for the price of one. But remember that the $30 deal is only available on Amazon — and for a limited amount of time — so you have to act fast before the discount expires.

Should you buy the WH-1000XM5 or WF-1000XM5 deal for Black Friday?

Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony's quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.

As a self-described "audiophobe" (I crave silence the way others crave deep bass beats), I've been tempted by Sony's WF-1000XM5 after experiencing the peace and quiet of the WH-1000XM5 headphones. And at their current price of $230, which is $70 down from the usual $300, they were an easy pickup for me. But, with the WH-1000XM5 — the headphones that consistently sit at the top or our best headphones list — down to $300 from a usual price of $400, are the WF-1000XM5 really the best deal for you to pick up at the moment? As someone who owns them both, I'm going to give you the case for picking out each pair.
