The marvellous world of audio technology is not immune from trend-led styles. From the fashion statement that is the Apple AirPods Max over-ears to the classic Rock n Roll style evoked by a pair of square Marshall headphones, how we choose to listen to music in private rather surprisingly says a lot about our personality.
Style is just one, albeit very important, part of the audio equation. Developments in noise-cancelling capabilities over the last decade have made our personal standards for near-silent listening higher than ever. You’ll be hard-pressed to come across an individual who doesn’t want to shut out the hustle and bustle of the city and the ear-popping screech of the underground to enjoy soulful sounds in their own meditative bubble.
However, premium noise cancellation and style come with a price tag to match, which makes keeping a tab on those all-important bargain days throughout the festive season incredibly important. Luckily, you’re in the right place. Black Friday is just around the corner, and ES Best has got you covered on deals for all things tech, gadgets, home cinema, personal audio and so much more.

When is Black Friday 2024?
This year, Black Friday is set to fall on Friday, November 29. It’s the day after Thanksgiving, which is always the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.
When does Black Friday end?
Far from being a single day of sales, Black Friday lasts over the weekend right up until Cyber Monday, where even more deals can be expected on remaining stock across your favourite retailers.
Why is it called Black Friday?
There are many theories associated with why the sales extravaganza has such a dark name. The most commonly accepted reason is that retailers’ accounts tend to go from being ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’ following a weekend of post-Thanksgiving sales – meaning that they’ve become profitable again.
