Get Bose Black Friday deals plus all-year discounts

Updated on 6 November 2024

It will soon be time for some great Bose Black Friday deals. You'll find discounts on earphones, earbuds, speakers and more. But don’t worry if you miss out – you can find plenty of other special offers during the year, only with Back Market.

Bose Black Friday deals in context

On Black Friday, in the UK, you'll always find discounts on Bose products. Recent history shows that you can save around £50 - £100 on the latest headphones, earbuds and speakers at both online and real-world retailers. Older models have often been discounted at up to 50%. The QuietComfort and SoundSport ranges have been the most popular Bose Black Friday deals. The official Bose store isn't quite as generous, but you can still get around 10% or 20% discounts there; these are usually on newly released models.

Will I get the best Bose deals on Black Friday?

You'll certainly find some very good Bose Black Friday deals. However, you don't need to get caught up in the frenzy. With a little research, you can actually find equivalent – or even better – discounts if you look in the right places online.

A look at the past year's statistics for Bose QuietComfort headphones, for instance, reveals that average prices have actually decreased since Black Friday 2023. The price plunged from around £450 to about £369 on Black Friday last year, then completely reverted by the end of January. However, by March the price had dropped to about £350, falling in step decreases for the next few months. From July, it stabilised at an average of £309, where it remains at the time of writing.

What these numbers also show is that the prices people pay can vary quite markedly depending on when they buy, and that Bose Black Friday prices aren't necessarily the cheapest. That's where we come in. Back Market offers consistently lower prices than average on Bose products, all year long. We can often beat Black Friday prices, and you'll regularly find discounts as high as 50% off the cost of buying new. Another big advantage is that you're not buying second-hand. All our products are fully refurbished so that they work like new.

Is it worth shopping for Bose Black Friday deals?

Experience (and data) make it pretty clear that if you're looking for promotions on Bose headphones and speakers, you're sure to find them on Black Friday. It's also stating the obvious. However, things aren't always as transparent as they seem.

Remember that the whole idea of Black Friday is to whip up a buying frenzy. Many people wait for months to find cheaper deals on Bose products. But you don't have to get caught up in the anxiety and stress of it all, worrying that what you want will sell out before you can get to the store or log in to your shopping basket.

None of this is to disparage Bose Black Friday promotions at all. It is indeed a great opportunity to score a sweet deal. The point is to approach it with an educated mindset. For instance, there are a couple of tricks that retailers use to make their offers seem more valuable than they actually are.

A common practice is to incrementally increase prices during the latter part of the year, so that Black Friday discounts will seem larger than they actually are. The outlets aren't giving you a discount on their normal prices as much as on their newly inflated ones. Another favourite is to spike the prices dramatically just before Black Friday, to create a sense of relief when they're discounted down to not much less than they were before the spike.

Don't forget about sustainability

When you're thinking about going for Bose Black Friday deals, also take a pause to consider the environment. If you already have decent older generation Bose headphones, do you really need a new pair? How much more musical detail are you likely to hear? You could find that you're simply motivated by the desire for something shiny and new. That's completely natural, and it's actively encouraged by manufacturers that shower you with marketing messages brimming with FOMO.

If you do need some new headphones or speakers, plain and simple, buying a refurbished item that's virtually indistinguishable from new is far kinder to the environment. At the very least, it means one less device thrown away. And if we all do that, well… 

Back Market is a company driven by an unshakeable belief in the need for sustainability. It's our main motivation for offering our refurbished goods. We like to think that we're helping to save the environment and making it easier to afford the little extras in life.

To summarise Bose Black Friday deals

Bose Black Friday deals offer great opportunities to pick up some new world-leading audio tech at cheaper prices. However, you don’t have to get caught up in all the frenzy around the sales, knowing that with a little patience you can save pretty much the same at another time with Back Market. 

You'll also avoid the pitfalls of Black Friday, like retailers putting up their prices in advance, to make their discounts appear to be more generous than they really are.

You can save as much as 50% on Bose deals all year round with us. Everything you buy has a 30-day guarantee, so you can return it within that time if you're not happy, and get a full refund. All our products have a 1-year warranty, so you can shop with complete peace of mind. 

Bear in mind your carbon footprint too. Buying a refurbished item that has already been manufactured extends its lifespan and avoids unnecessary consumption of new products.

FAQ about the Black Friday Bose deals

Is it worth waiting for Bose Black Friday deals?

Yes – but you don't have to. Shop smartly with Back Market, and you'll discover some excellent Bose deals throughout the year. These are token discounts. We can often rival Black Friday prices, with the added advantage that we don't only offer them once a year.

Are all Bose Black Friday deals as good as they look?

To be brutally honest, not all Bose Black Friday promotions are as valuable as they appear on the surface. Some less-than-scrupulous retailers will appear to be giving you a substantial mark-down from what's called an "anchor price". This original price is sometimes entirely made up, so with a little research, you may find that the normal price is a lot lower. This means that in reality you're getting a smaller discount than advertised.
