Best Cyber Monday 2020 deals coming soon: Save $60 on Bose headphones, $250 on a 65-inch TV and more

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2020, CNET’s gift picks with expert advice, reviews and recommendations for the latest tech gifts for you and your family.

Black Friday is still about a week away, and we’re already seeing historic low prices on all sorts of deals online. So is it too soon to be talking about Cyber Monday? Of course not. This year, more than ever, we expect Cyber Monday to be little more than an extension of the Black Friday sale events spanning the whole month of November, and we’re already seeing some of the deals that will be available from a few brands and retailers. 

This much is true: We strongly advise against waiting for Cyber Monday. If you have your eye on something and it’s on sale for Black Friday, buy it now. There’s little chance it will be cheaper after Nov. 26. But if nothing you’ve seen already for Black Friday has compelled you to pull out your credit card, here are the best deals we’ve seen so far for the Black Friday after-party that is known as Cyber Monday. Most of these deals actually start on Nov. 28 (because even for Cyber Monday, retailers can’t seem to wait this year for the actual day) but a few won’t kick in until the big day.

Deals starting Nov. 28

The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are hard to talk about without comparing to the iconic Quiet Comfort 35 II. They sound better, have more features (including Alexa and Bose AR), USB-C charging and let you hear the world around you with transparency mode.
