(November 28, 2025) Black Friday has officially arrived, and the madness is already in full swing. It’s that wonderful time of year when early-morning coffee crashes into late-night carts and when every AV fan feels that spark of hope that today might be the day their dream setup finally comes together.
There’s a special kind of thrill in waking up to this annual gear frenzy. Prices are slashed, inventories are thinning, and the promise of scoring something extraordinary hangs in the air. For home theater die-hards, this isn’t just bargain hunting. It’s the moment when budget boundaries soften, and the AV soul gets a chance to indulge.
And the best part? Black Friday always rewards the faithful. Somewhere in today’s avalanche of discounts is the piece of gear that will anchor your room for the next year, maybe even redefine it entirely.
This year, we’ve sifted through the chaos to bring you a curated collection of deals worth your attention; real savings on gear that can elevate your system, refresh your setup, or kickstart an upgrade you’ve been eyeing all year.
JTR SPEAKERS
JTR Speakers is kicking off Black Friday with a sale that’s sure to grab the attention of anyone looking to add serious muscle to their home theater. The company is offering 5% off all Noesis, Captivator, and Kallos products, along with a 10% discount on complete systems of five units or more drawn from those same lines. It is an unusually strong promotion from a brand known for hand-built, high-output speakers and subwoofers that deliver exceptional clarity, dynamic punch, and deep low-frequency performance.
For those unfamiliar, the Noesis line represents JTR’s home theater showpieces, built around horn-loaded compression drivers and large-format woofers designed to produce effortless sound at reference levels. Captivator subwoofers are legendary in enthusiast circles for their extreme deep bass extension and room-filling impact, making them a go-to choice for fans of cinematic low end. The Kallos series offers a more compact footprint with the same design philosophy, giving living rooms and media spaces a path into JTR’s signature sound.
If you’ve been contemplating a major upgrade, the multi-unit discount is particularly tempting. A full JTR system can drive a world-class theater for years, and shaving 10% off a complete setup is rare territory. Orders placed now are expected to arrive before the holidays, giving buyers a chance to experience their new gear before the prime movie-watching season kicks in.

GIK Acoustics is rolling through Black Friday and straight into Cyber Week with savings that reach up to 20% across its entire website. The promotion runs through December 8 and applies to everything from acoustic panels and bass traps to diffusers and room treatment accessories, making it an ideal moment for anyone improving a home cinema, refining a listening room, or treating a recording space.
Room acoustics remain one of the most influential and overlooked factors in achieving great sound, often delivering more noticeable improvements than electronics upgrades, and GIK’s treatment options can dramatically elevate clarity, imaging, and bass control in almost any room.
Discounts scale with spending, starting at 5% for orders up to 999, 10% for orders between 999 and 1,999, 15% for orders between 1,999 and 2,999, and topping out at 20% for orders above 2,999.

MAGNETAR
Magnetar is joining the Black Friday action with special introductory pricing on its brand new MKII Series players, giving enthusiasts an early chance to bring reference-grade disc playback into their systems at a discount. The company’s latest models, the UDP900MKII and UDP800MKII, were introduced at CEDIA Expo earlier this year and are now officially shipping with a collection of refinements that raise both performance and engineering precision to a new level.
The MKII Series builds on Magnetar’s original UDP900 and UDP800 platforms with upgrades driven directly by dealer and customer feedback. Both models support a full suite of physical and digital formats, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, SACD, and networked media, and both feature an improved proprietary video processing engine designed for more accurate color, better contrast, cleaner upscaling, and improved noise handling. Internally, each player benefits from enhanced audio architecture for lower distortion and more faithful high-resolution playback, while newly redesigned USB 3.0 ports with isolated power and dedicated hub chips deliver better stability with external storage. Mechanical performance has also been elevated with a sound-damped optical assembly and a reinforced aluminum chassis that reduces noise and suppresses EMI.
At the top of the line, the UDP900MKII takes these improvements further with dual ESS 9038 PRO DACs, TMDS retiming on its dedicated HDMI audio output to minimize jitter, and advanced XMOS USB audio capabilities supporting formats up to 768 PCM and 512 DSD. The result is a flagship platform built for high-end theaters and systems where ultimate precision matters.
The UDP800MKII brings many of the same refinements to a more accessible tier, anchored by a redesigned 2.0 audio architecture using seven OPA1602 op amps for a cleaner analog path. Improved EMI shielding, HDMI jitter correction, upgraded copper wiring, and a quieter, more stable chassis create a notable jump in overall performance while preserving the versatility that made the original UDP800 such a popular choice.
Both models are now shipping, with the UDP900MKII carrying an MSRP of $3,299.99 and the UDP800MKII listed at $1,799.99. For Black Friday, Magnetar is offering introductory pricing of $1,599.99 for the UDP800MKII, a $200 savings, and $2,999.99 for the UDP900MKII, a $300 discount.

From there, the AVR X2800H positions itself as a strong mid-tier upgrade at $1,049. With 95 watts per channel, multiple 8K inputs, stronger video handling, and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, it offers an excellent balance between power, flexibility, and price.
For more ambitious theaters, the AVR X3800H is now $1,459, reduced from $1,799.

EPSON
Epson is back for Black Friday with impressive savings on its brand-new Lifestudio projector family, offering up to $500 off models designed to make big-screen entertainment simple, social, and great-sounding. This is the world’s first projector lineup co-engineered with Bose, and every model includes Epson’s 3LCD Triple Core Engine, Google TV, and a clever Projection Studio app that lets friends and family share photos and short videos directly to the screen. It is a lineup designed to eliminate extra boxes and cables while turning movie nights and impromptu gatherings into easy, shared experiences.
At the top of the range is Lifestudio Grand, a compact ultra short throw laser projector designed to anchor a room with a full cinematic footprint. Rated at 3,600 lumens of color and white brightness, Grand is bright enough to act as a TV replacement day or night, and its 2.1 channel Bose audio system includes a dedicated 80mm woofer for fuller bass and stronger presence. With eARC passthrough for Dolby Atmos and DTS, it is the model aimed at living rooms and media spaces where size and sound both matter. For Black Friday, Grand drops to $2,199.99, down from its $2,699.99 MSRP.
Moving into the portable tier, Lifestudio Flex Plus stands as the premium option in the mid-range category. It delivers 4K PRO-UHD resolution, HDR10+ support, and 1,000 lumens of brightness, along with a tiltable stand and ambient lighting that lets it double as a small table light. Auto Low Latency Mode gives gamers a responsive experience, and Bose 2.0 stereo keeps movie and music playback feeling polished. For Black Friday, Flex Plus is $849.99, down from $999.99.
The standard Lifestudio Flex trims the feature set to deliver a more affordable option. Resolution drops to 1080p, brightness lands at 700 lumens, and ambient lighting is removed, but you still get Epson’s EpiqSense 2.0 auto setup, the same Bose 2.0 stereo system, and smooth Google TV integration. Its Black Friday price is $779.99, reduced from $849.99.
Pop Plus takes the portable idea a notch smaller while keeping performance elevated. It carries 4K PRO-UHD resolution, Auto Low Latency Mode, and a compact chassis available in Navy or Black. Brightness sits at 700 lumens, and a Bose 2.0 speaker system delivers better-than-expected punch for the size. Pop Plus is $749.99 for Black Friday, down from $799.99.
Finally, Lifestudio Pop lands as the most casual, grab-and-go model in the lineup. It offers 1080p resolution at 700 lumens, compact styling in White, and the same Bose 2.0 audio platform as its siblings. It is built for bedroom setups, outdoor movie nights, and quick big-screen moments without added gear. Its Black Friday price is $629.99, reduced from $679.99.

DIRAC
Dirac is kicking off the sales season with a weeklong promotion running through December 1, offering 20% off all its software products with code BF2025. That includes Dirac Live, Dirac Live Bass Control, and the company’s newest breakthrough, Active Room Treatment. For anyone who has been holding off on adding advanced room correction to their system, this is easily one of the most meaningful upgrades available during the holiday sales window.
Room acoustics shape more of what we hear than most components in the signal chain, and Dirac has become one of the industry’s most trusted tools for taming those issues. Its processing can tighten bass, clean up imaging, and balance a room in ways that often feel like a speaker or subwoofer upgrade. Bass Control has been especially popular with enthusiasts because it unifies multiple subwoofers into a coherent low-frequency field, smoothing response across the listening area. ART takes things even further, using your speakers and subs together to counteract room resonances in real time, creating a level of clarity and control that traditional treatments alone cannot accomplish.
It's rare to see discounts on Dirac’s ecosystem, and with the growing number of AVRs, processors, and amplifiers supporting the platform, this sale arrives at the perfect moment for anyone looking to elevate their system’s performance. Full details and ordering information can be found at dirac.com.
KLH
KLH Audio is rolling out a rare Black Friday promotion on one of its best-selling loudspeakers, the Model Three. Audio fans can save $100 per speaker or $200 per pair during two promotional windows: November 16 through December 6 and December 14 through December 27.
The Model Three is a 2-way, 8" acoustic suspension design built to deliver accurate, linear response in rooms of all sizes, mirroring much of the sonic character of KLH’s larger Model Five. The sealed enclosure is constructed from structurally reinforced 3/4" MDF, complemented by a non resonant die cast aluminum woofer frame and a machined aluminum tweeter faceplate. A three position Acoustic Balance Control allows listeners to tailor the speaker to challenging room acoustics, making it flexible for real world spaces where placement or room reflections can be an issue.
KLH outfits each Model Three with a low-profile magnet-attached grille and an included 8-degree slanted riser base made from powder-coated 14-gauge steel, giving it a classic look that pairs well with modern or vintage décor. Sensitivity is rated at 88dB in room, impedance is listed at 6 ohms, and recommended amplification ranges from 30 to 150 watts, making the speaker easy to drive while still capable of hitting an in-room maximum SPL of 108dB.
Finished in genuine either Nordic Noir, West African Mahogany, or English Walnut veneers with several grille options available, the Model Three is engineered as both a design piece and a serious music maker.

H2O Audio
H2O Audio is diving into Black Friday with excellent deals on wearables, including the Tri2 Pro. We recently reviewed these fully waterproof IPX8 bone conduction headphones and came away seriously impressed, calling out their comfort, clever design, and the surprisingly powerful low end. You can read the full review here, but the short version is simple: the Tri2 Pro delivers a listening experience that’s unlike anything else in its category.
Built for swimmers, athletes, and anyone who wants music in environments where traditional headphones cannot survive, the Tri2 Pro features H2O Audio’s Playlist+ technology, which allows you to record and store streaming music directly on the device for offline listening underwater. Its open-ear bone-conduction drivers keep you aware of your surroundings, Bluetooth handles everyday listening, and 8 GB of internal storage holds roughly 2,000 songs. Add in a 9-hour battery, a lightweight frame, and genuinely strong sound quality, and the Tri2 Pro becomes an all-purpose training and travel companion.
For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, H2O Audio is offering multiple ways to save. The Tri2 Pro is 25% off on Amazon (click here for deal), and shoppers who buy directly from H2O Audio can take 30% off sitewide using code BFRIDAY2025 from November 23 through November 30. A second 30% sitewide promotion kicks in for Cyber Monday using code CMONDAY2025 from December 1 through December 3. Both options make this a great moment to pick up a pair, whether for your own workouts or as a genuinely fun gift for someone who spends serious time in the water.
XREAL AR GLASSES
XREAL is joining the sales rush with major discounts on its most popular augmented reality glasses and its Beam Pro spatial-computing device, running November 20 through December 1. As a self-proclaimed leader in consumer AR, XREAL has built a reputation for turning everyday screens into expansive, cinematic viewing experiences using lightweight glasses powered by Micro-OLED displays and its in-house X1 spatial-computing chip. That combination delivers bright, sharp virtual screens with impressively low latency, giving users the sense of watching a massive floating display while staying fully aware of their surroundings.
The One Series glasses remain the heart of the lineup, offering crisp visuals, wide compatibility with laptops, consoles, handheld gaming systems, and smartphones, and a level of portability that makes big-screen viewing possible in places where projectors or large TVs simply don’t fit. Pair the glasses with XREAL’s Beam Pro and things open up even further, adding an Android-based spatial-computing hub that lets the glasses operate independently, run apps, stream content, and create a more dynamic, self-contained AR environment.
For the holiday season, XREAL is cutting prices in a big way. The One drops to $399, a 20% reduction from its $499 MSRP, while the upgraded One Pro is available for $599, $50 off its usual $649 price. Beam Pro sees the deepest cuts, with the Wi-Fi 128GB model at $159, the Wi-Fi 256GB at $199, and the 5G-enabled 256GB version at $239.
These deals can be found directly at xreal.com and on Amazon, making this one of the most accessible moments yet to step into AR-powered big-screen entertainment without the usual premium price tag.
