WHEN DOES BLACK FRIDAY END?
Black Friday sale dates differ from retailer to retailer, with some stores offering one day only deals. Others extend their offers over the Cyber weekend, giving you until midnight on Cyber Monday (27 November) to shop.
We recommend checking each retailer for their individual sale dates to ensure you don’t miss out on the discounts.
ARE OVER-EAR HEADPHONES BETTER THAN EARBUDS?
Not necessarily – it all comes down to personal preference.
Over-ear headphones are largely considered the better option for those after the best possible sound experience, as they completely cover your ears and give you a more immersive experience. They’re also generally considered to be better for your hearing health, as they block out more external noise so you can get better sound quality at a lower volume.
However, over-ear headphones are typically more expensive than in-ear buds, though budget and premium options are available for both headphone types.
In-ear buds are meanwhile more portable and less obtrusive, making them a great choice for sporty types and those who want something smaller for their daily commute. Many in-ears come with a wireless charging case too, so you can charge them on-the-go instead of waiting until you can get to an outlet.
You can check out our guide to the best wireless earbuds to see a list of top-rated options.
