Amazon Cyber Monday Deals on TVs and Home Audio Gear
Here are a few of our favorite Cyber Monday deals.
Sennheiser is offering a wide selection of their most popular high performance headphones on Black Friday at significant discounts.
> Amazon Cyber Monday Deal on Sennheiser Headphones
One of the best deals is on their HD599 SE headphones. These 'phones normally list for $199.99. They are available while supplies last for $89.99 (55% off). These are open-back wired headphones that have been praised for their transparency and comfort. At this price, you may as well pick up two pairs because once someone borrows yours, you may never see them (or more importantly hear them) again.
If you're looking for something even more refined, check out the audiophile grade Sennheiser HD 650 Hi-Res Open Back Dynamic Headphone. It normally sells for $499 but is now available at a 37% discount at $317.46. The HD650 is a perennial favorite in Sennheiser's line-up that continues to garner praise and positive reviews.
If you're looking for something of the wireless variety, but still a full size over-the-ear style, then check out the Momentum 4, which is available for 17% off at $289.19. The Momentum 4 features best-in-breed adaptive noise cancellation technology and a smooth refined sonic performance that punches above its price class.
Looking for an in-ear true wireless earbud alternative to Apple AirPods? Then check out the Momentum 3 Wireless buds. W. Jennings at ecoustics reviewed the Momentum 3, calling it "more accurate than the Apple AirPods Pro or Bose Wireless Earbuds" and saying he preferred the Sennheiser's "warmth in the midrange and the overall pacing and resolution" compared to the competition. In an update, Jennings said the headphones only got better thanks to a software update to Sennheiser's mobile app. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 True Wireless in-ear headphone are available now on Amazon for $199.95, 20% below the normal list price.
For TVs, now is a great time to buy a high performance OLED TV with the three major manufacturers all offering big Black Friday discounts. One stand-out deal is Sony's 65-inch A80K OLED TV bundled with Sony's HT-A3000 Dolby Atmos soundbar. It's available for $1889.99, which is $1100 below list with free shipping. Pay with an Amazon Prime card to get an additional $95 cash back as a statement credit after purchase.

LG C2 Series 4K OLED TV with Dolby Vision at Black Friday Pricing
This year, Samsung got back in the OLED game with a brand new QD-OLED panel. The new set took second place in this year's TV shootout. It's actually a bit brighter than the LG C2 series, though the Samsung offers HDR10+ dynamic HDR instead of Dolby Vision. Still it's a great OLED TV, particularly for bright room viewing. List on this TV was $2999.99 but the price has been lowered $1200 to $1797 for Black Friday. Similar to the LG, this TV is eligible for 10% cash back if paid by Amazon Prime Card, knocking an additional $180 off the net price. 10% cashback applies to 65-inch size only. the 55-inch model qualifies for the standard 5% cash back.
Samsung S95B 4K QD-OLED TV on Amazon
And lest we forget the "reigning king of 4K TV," Sony's class-leading QD-OLED TV, the Sony A95K 4K QD-OLED TV is also on sale. It has the highest measured brightness of any OLED TV, offers top of the line picture performance and includes Dolby Vision support for outstanding performance on 4K Ultra HD content. It's also expensive AF. But hey, at least this previously-$4,000 65-inch TV is now discounted 25% to $2999.99. It qualifies for 5% cash back if paid with an Amazon Prime card, which will result in a $150 statement credit. Also, if you want to combine it with a soundbar, you can add on Sony's top of the line Dolby Atmos soundbar the HT-A7000 and save an additional $200 off the price of buying the TV and soundbar separately.
Speaking of soundbars, Amazon has some great Cyber Monday discounts on two of our favorite soundbars, the Sony HT-A7000 and the Vizio Elevate.
The Sony HT-A7000 uses side and top-facing reflective speaker drivers, combined with psychoacoustic processing to create a pretty convincing Dolby Atmos immersive experience from a single unit. We do recommend adding the optional rear speakers and powered subwoofer for maximum immersion and deep low bass impact. The HT-A7000 (and its Sony brethren) are currently the only soundbars on the market that support Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Sony's Reality 360 Audio for comprehensive immersive surround format support. The HT-A7000 price was cut $300 for Black Friday.
The VIZIO Elevate supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and comes with up-firing drivers in both the front and rear speakers for a fully immersive 5.1.4 channel surround system. It also comes with a powered wireless subwoofer at no additional cost. The price has been cut from $899 to $679.99 for Black Friday.
