Anti-Amazon Prime Day? Check Out These 33+ Best Buy Pre-Black Friday Deals

Membership has its privileges, as the well-worn slogan says, and that’s definitely true when it comes to Best Buy. The big electronics retailer has a three-tiered system for shoppers. The lowest, My Best Buy, is the basic free tier, which gets you free standard shipping for online orders.

That’s not bad for paying nothing, but the next tier up nets you a lot more: Shelling out $50 a year for My Best Buy Plus gets you free two-day shipping, 60-day returns on most products, and exclusive access to way lower prices on thousands of items. Then there’s the top level, for the high rollers: My Best Buy Total gets you everything in the lower tiers, plus device protection on everything you buy, and 24/7 tech support. Check out all the membership info here.

Why are we telling you this now? Because Best Buy has launched its Holiday Sneak Peek sale to coincide with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and in it you’ll find a bunch of deals available only to Plus or Total members. These are big honking discounts on desktops, laptops, headphones, and more. Check here for the complete listing, but what follows are 33 of our top picks, curated for your convenience.

The Best Best Buy Apple Deals

We gave the second-generation AirPods Pro our Editors’ Choice award, saying in the review that they are “the top true wireless earphones for Apple users thanks to their exceptional noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and USB-C case.” Being able to charge with a more universal cord makes a big difference, but even without it the AirPods Pro would be more than worth your time. Take $50 off right now.

The Best Best Buy TV Deals

Non-members already get $300 off this incredible display, but members subtract another $700 for a whopping thousand-dollar discount. LG’s 99-series TVs are some of the best the company offers, with crisp, bright colors and deep blacks thanks to full-array local dimming. Viewing angles are surprisingly wide, as well, making this a good pick for a larger room. This panel runs at a native 8K resolution and does a solid job upscaling content to look natural. It’s decent for gaming, as well, thanks to a brisk refresh rate and low input lag.

The Best Best Buy Apple Computer Deals

Apple’s 2022 update of the performance-oriented MacBook Pro debuted the powerful new M2 processor, which resulted in a big speed increase. In our review, we praised the “fantastic 22-hour battery life,” which will let you compute on the go for nearly a full day. Design and build quality is also as high as you’d expect from Apple, and this is a wildly low price for a laptop with these capabilities.

The Best Best Buy Laptop Deals

Touch-screen laptops blend the power of a traditional portable with the intuitive input of a tablet, and they’re starting to carve out a niche in the marketplace. This is a solid $170 savings on a HP model with a crisp, clear full HD screen that invites your finger or stylus to interact with it. An Intel 12th Generation Core i7 processor keeps things moving smoothly, and 16GB of RAM is plenty for most operations. It’s lightweight, and its battery life is quite good.

The Best Best Buy Gaming PC Deals

Best Buy has both gaming laptops and desktops on sale during this event, and if you’re in the hunt for a portable that will let you enjoy your favorite titles on the go, getting a hefty $200 off of this one is a great deal. An AMD Ryzen 7 7000 Series processor handles itself ably, and the graphics are very solid courtesy of an AMD Radeon RX 7600S GPU. It’s simple to set up and delivers great value for the price.

The Best Best Buy Monitor Deals

If you’re interested in picking up a curved monitor, this is an absolutely perfect entry point, especially at $90 off. Delivering full HD resolution with a 178 degree viewing angle, it delivers immersive graphics with a 75Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time. One of the underrated draws of this monitor is the built-in speaker array, which pumps out surprisingly punchy sound for its slim profile.

The Best Best Buy Headphones Deals

Bose has built a reputation for top-quality consumer audio with a price to match, and their venture into the wireless earbuds market is no exception. The QuietComfort II earbuds deliver some of the absolute best noise cancellation you can get anywhere, with an interesting two-piece “Fit Kit” system designed to keep them securely in your ears. Audio response is stellar, with solid bass and clear treble. They’re great for just about any listening occasion, and taking $100 off makes them a very smart purchase.

The Best Best Buy Robot Vacuum Deals

Shark isn’t the biggest name in robot vacuums, but when you’re saving nearly $200 off a device with a self-emptying base and home mapping technology, it’s worth considering the non-Roomba option. That self-emptying base will hold up to 60 days of dirt, equalling just six times per year you have to bother with it. The 360-degree LiDAR vision maps your home for object avoidance, and the Matrix Clean Navigation takes the device on a precise grid to make multiple overlapping passes, making sure no dust gets left behind.

Looking to dip a toe into the world of robot vacuums? This Roomba is a smart way to get started. This device offers plenty of suction power, as well as Dirt Detect sensors to identify areas that need extra cleaning, and a cleaning head that automatically senses and adjusts between carpet and hard flooring. The 90-minute run time is enough to cover a few rooms before needing to automatically dock and recharge. The mapping function isn’t as robust as in more expensive models, but you still get navigation that’ll keep the device moving around furniture, along edges, and away from stairs.

If you’re on the hunt for a discounted vacuum-and-mop combo, this Ecovacs device is a compelling option at $300 off the normal list price. It’s hard to ask for more than everything packed into the T10+: You get a self-emptying and auto-sealing dust bin; LiDAR and dToF sensor-driven mapping (the kind that self-driving cars use) to scout out your house and create the most efficient cleaning patterns; AI-driven object avoidance; and a deep-cleaning mop function that automatically detects and avoids carpet. You even get extras like a camera that can check in on your pets when you’re gone, and a mobile air freshener on board. How nice is that?

The Best Best Buy Soundbar Deals

Even an inexpensive soundbar is a good way to improve your home theater experience, and this Vizio 2.0-channel version gives you a solid upgrade to your TV’s (probably subpar) built-in speakers. This soundbar’s compact chassis packs in a wide frequency response (from 70Hz to 20kHz) and up to 95dB of loudness with low distortion and compression. It’s HDMI ARC-compatible and supports Bluetooth, and it comes optimized for 4K HDR content with Dolby Audio and even offers volume monitoring to keep the commercials from blowing out your eardrums.

With a built-in dual subwoofer, three front speakers and a center channel all-in-one Sony Atmos soundbar, this is an easy way to significantly step up your home media viewing experience with some majorly improved audio. Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine helps squeeze the most out of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X multi-dimensional audio, and a variety of connections like HDMI eARC, USB, and optical audio deliver the best audio it can based on your TV or projector’s inputs. Additional Sony subwoofer and rear speakers are easy to add for a full surround experience, or just connect your smartphone via Bluetooth and use it to listen to music or podcasts.

If just adding a soundbar isn’t going to be enough to maximize your movie night, this JBL package with a soundbar and a subwoofer might do the trick. The 10-inch wireless subwoofer delivers high-quality thumping bass to your media room anywhere you want to put it, while the MultiBeam soundbar delivers Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound throughout the rest of the viewing experience. The audio-calibration feature makes sure that this speaker twofer sounds great in whatever room it’s in, and the JBL One app lets you customize the EQ and other settings even further.

The Best Best Buy Unlocked Phone Deals

Love the Pixel line of phones, but not ready to drop enough coin to upgrade to the new Pixel 8? This 7a version of the phone is still an excellent option for Android and Google aficionados, at roughly half the price of the cutting-edge edition. With 128GB of storage, a Tensor G2 chip, amazing dual-rear cameras, a battery that lasts over 24 hours with Adaptive Battery technology enabled, and a sturdy, IP67-rated chassis, this phone will handle nearly anything you can throw at it and works on all major US carriers.

This late-model Motorola smartphone gives you a lot of what you want–specifically, a bright, ultra-smooth 144Hz OLED display and a whopping 256GB of storage–at a price that’s a quarter of what other phone manufacturers are charging. You also get one free year of access to Google One storage for uploading all your photos and files, a high-quality 50MP hi-res camera with a super-fast autofocus function, and up to two days of runtime on a single battery charge.

For a budget smartphone under $200, it’s hard to ask for more than what you get with this unlocked OnePlus Nord device. If you’re streaming your music and uploading your photos to a service like Google Photos, 64GB is plenty of storage for local files. The 6.49-inch display has a nice, smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and with a large 5,000mAh battery and 18V fast-charging, you shouldn’t ever lack for power.
