There are tons of Black Friday deals happening right now, but as much as we’d all love to throw everything into building out and completing our smart homes, there’s just one problem — you have a finite budget for how much you can shell out for the occasion. Now, if there’s one single deal you absolutely need to snag today for your smart home, it has to be none other than this Amazon Echo (4th Gen) bundled in with a couple of Philips Hue light bulbs for $70. This is one example of the several Amazon Black Friday deals right now, but you can uncover more Echo-related sales with these Black Friday Amazon Echo deals.

This is without a doubt the best Black Friday smart home deal you can shop today because, on its own, the Amazon Echo (4th Gen) retails for $100. Considering that Amazon discounts it to $70 is pretty impressive given that it’s still a new release for the retail giant. Discounts on new products don’t happen all that much, but the deal is sweetened by the fact it’s bundled with a pair of Philips Hue light bulbs! Just one purchase will cover two of the most fundamental aspects of the smart home — a smart speaker and a lighting solution.

This year’s Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is special for so many reasons. First and foremost, it received an overhaul with its design — shifting from the previous cylindrical shape of past Echos to the spherical design that makes it look like an orb. And yeah, it certainly looks like one because of the dazzling LED light ring around its base. While the design is aesthetically pleasing, it’s audio is top-notch with robust sound and ample bass. And thanks to Alexa, it’s perfect for controlling all your other gadgets in the smart home — while also acting as a smart home hub that supports Bluetooth LE and ZigBee.

Our top pick: DeWalt 20V Max Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit — $299 $409 27% off

This is the bread and butter of DeWalt Black Friday deals right now, as it has not only the most essential tools of any kit — the drill and driver — but also a pair of batteries and a charger to keep them ready to go and a nice duffel as well. Get this kit for $299 to get started with DeWalt's 20V products in the best way possible. I personally own this kit, and I use it weekly, if not most days. I'm always hanging something up on the wall, fixing something that's broken around the house or just building some new contraption. The small drill is excellent for quick tasks, while the hammer drill is great for drilling into tough materials.

Should you buy the WH-1000XM5 or WF-1000XM5 deal for Black Friday?
A WF-1000XM5 case nestled into a WH-1000XM5's ear cup.

Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony's quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.

As a self-described "audiophobe" (I crave silence the way others crave deep bass beats), I've been tempted by Sony's WF-1000XM5 after experiencing the peace and quiet of the WH-1000XM5 headphones. And at their current price of $230, which is $70 down from the usual $300, they were an easy pickup for me. But, with the WH-1000XM5 — the headphones that consistently sit at the top or our best headphones list — down to $300 from a usual price of $400, are the WF-1000XM5 really the best deal for you to pick up at the moment? As someone who owns them both, I'm going to give you the case for picking out each pair.
