Walmart Black Friday sale LIVE – $98 TV, $169 AirPods and $10 earbuds

Walmart Black Friday sale starts today

Thanks for joining us for our countdown to the second Walmart Black Friday sale here at TechRadar.

Until the early access period begins for Walmart Plus members at 12pm ET, I'm here to share all the important news and give our expert verdict on the deals that will be available in today's sale so you can come away with the best bargains.

If you're not a Walmart Plus member, the sale is open to all from 3pm ET. However, be aware that some of the most popular deals will almost certainly sell out before we reach this point. This is what we saw in the first event.

My advice? If there's something you really want from the list above (especially the AirPods, TCL 4K TV, or the $10 JLab earbuds) then it might be worth grabbing a Walmart Plus membership for $12.95/month.

Either way, I'm searching through all the deals and monitoring stock levels throughout the day so you don't miss out on anything you want to get from the Walmart Black Friday sale.

I think this is guaranteed to be one of the most popular deals in the Walmart Black Friday sale.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 will drop to $169 today - that's $20 less than they've ever been before. Walmart's offer is hands down the best deal on Apple's flagship earbuds that we've ever seen. These second-gen AirPods have fallen to $189 before (and, as a matter of fact, are currently available for $189 at Amazon) but this has been the limit – until now.

Heads up: this is the slightly older version of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with a Lightning port. They are completely identical to the more recent release with a USB-C port, though, so if that different charger doesn't bother you then you should jump right on these as soon as they go live.

This offer is exclusive to Walmart Plus members for three hours starting from 12pm ET, after which it'll be available to everyone. This significant offer will definitely sell fast – it may not make it past the early access window – so my advice is not to wait around if you want a pair.

Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $169 at Walmart
The AirPods Pro 2 are a Black Friday bestseller and Walmart has the lowest price we've ever seen for the popular earbuds. Rated highly in our AirPods Pro 2 review as some of the best earbuds you can buy, they feature active noise cancellation to block out unwanted sounds, improved audio quality and a wireless charging case that provides more than 24 hours of battery life. We predict this will sell out within hours of the early access sale going live, so it might be worth signing up for a Walmart Plus membership to ensure you get them.

A 43-inch TV for under $100 - too good to be true?

One eye-popping offer in the next round of upcoming Black Friday deals at Walmart is this Onn. 43-inch FHD Roku TV for only $100. Now, Onn. is clearly not a major household name like Samsung, LG or Sony, but does that really matter? Especially when the price of the TV is so low.

Let's be clear, this is about as cheap and cheerful as it gets when it comes to TVs. Picture quality, performance and longevity are definitely going to suffer, so you may be disappointed if you intend to use this as your main TV. As a second screen for another room or more infrequent use, though, it's hard to argue with the ridiculously low price for a TV of this size.

Onn. 43-inch FHD Roku TV: $98 at Walmart
This 43-inch Onn TV isn't going to win any awards when it comes to picture quality and performance but, hey, it's ridiculously cheap. Let's be clear, you may end up being more frustrated if you intend to use this as your main TV. However, as a smaller screen for another room or for more infrequent use to stream the odd show, it's hard to argue with the low price for a TV of this size.

Wireless earbuds for just $10? Surely they must be rubbish, right?

Well, apparently not. These JLab Go Air Pop earbuds, which will be on sale for a measly $10 today in the Walmart Black Friday sale, were actually awarded four and a half stars out of five by us here at TechRadar.

We praised the reliable Bluetooth connectivity, killer battery life, comfortable fit and solid audio performance for the price. Honestly, it's a whole lot more than we expected in some cheap earbuds. At $10, we can't complain at all.

JLab Go Air Pop: was $24 now $9.88 at Walmart
We concluded that these fantastic little true wireless earbuds were a stone-cold steal in our JLab Go Air Pop review. Now, thanks to the Walmart Black Friday sale, you can get these excellent, affordable, and comfortable buds for under $10. They boast Bluetooth 5.1, wearer detection, three effective EQ profiles, on-ear volume control, and a whopping 32-hour battery life. A bargain.

Walmart Plus members, I hope you're ready. Early Access to the Walmart Black Friday sale begins for you in just 15 minutes.

I hope you've got an item or two in mind that you want to grab as soon as possible. If I were you, I'd definitely focus on the Apple AirPods Pro, Apple Watch SE, JLab Go Air Pop or either of the TVs if any of those are on your wishlist as they're likely to sell out quickly.

Everyone else, you'll have to wait until 3pm when the sale opens to all. Or, you can still get a Walmart Plus membership for $12.95/month and get involved during the early access period. You can always cancel it immediately after!

Five minutes in an stock levels are looking OK at the minute for all the most popular deals.

The Apple AirPods Pro and both cheap TVs are still holding strong. Some color varients of the JLab earbuds have already sold out, though, so I'd get those in your basket as soon as possible if they are on your shopping list.

If you want carpets so clean your friends will be green with envy, then this recommendation comes from fellow deals editor Mackenzie Frazier, who says that the Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner is hands down her favorite appliance.

As an owner of a dog and a white couch, she finds it works like magic on any stain, and it's a fraction of the cost of professionally cleaning your carpets or upholstery. Walmart has the portable carpet cleaner down to $78 - that's a new record-low price for Black Friday.

Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner: was $123.34 now $78 at Walmart
Bissell carpet cleaners have become all the rage lately, and Walmart's Black Friday deals include the top-rated Little Green model on sale for $78 – a new record-low price. Perfect for pet owners and parents, the portable carpet cleaner can magically erase spills and stains on carpets, couches, auto interiors and more.

Here's a deal at Walmart that you can already get access to if you're not a Walmart Plus member. 

The retailer has a brand new PS5 Slim + Marvel's Spider Man 2 bundle on sale for $499. Effectively, that means you get a copy of the webslinger's latest adventure for free with the console.

As a surprise to me, this one hasn't sold out already, so either demand has fallen all Walmart just has a whole load of PS5s ready to sell this Black Friday. That's a stark contrast to the UK, where the majority of PS5 bundles have already sold out.

This is definitely up there with the best PS5 bundles available this Black Friday, so one to get if you're looking to buy Sony's latest console in the end of year sales.

PS5 + Marvel's Spider-Man 2: was $559.99 now $499 at Walmart
Walmart currently has stock of the PS5 – and it's a brilliant bundle to boot. It comes with a PS5 Slim console and a copy of Insomniac's latest webslinging adventure Marvel's Spider-Man 2. We're expecting stock to sell through very quickly here, so be sure to act fast.

As expected, those $10 JLab earbuds are really flying off the digital shelves at Walmart. More colors are now sold out, so I'd suggest getting them in your basket quickly if you've got access to the sale through Walmart Plus.

For those without a membership and waiting for the sale to open to all in the next two hours, I've got my fingers crossed for you that some stock is still available by then.

If you do find they are sold out at 3pm EST, here are a couple of similarly priced alternatives that are on sale for Black Friday and come recommended by us.

Soundcore by Anker Earbuds: was $39.99 now $19.88 at Walmart
Amazon Echo Buds: was $49.99 now $34.99 at Amazon

Unlike the Onn, which is an astonishingly cheap if generally lacklustre TV, this TCL TV is one we can more enthusiastically recommend from the Walmart Black Friday sale.

It's a solid pick if you're looking to grab a decent-sized cheap TV for a very reasonable price. You get an ultra-high definition 4K resolution compatible display, HDR support and the Roku experience built-in for easy streaming. It's a good big-screen TV for your everyday viewing at a budget price.

TCL 55-inch 4 Series 4K Roku TV: $188 at Walmart
Walmart's Black Friday sale includes the excellent TCL 4-Series 4K TV on sale for $188. TCL makes some of the best big-screen budget TVs and this is a fantastic price for a 55-inch display. It sports all the most important features, including support for ultra-high definition 4K resolution, HDR for better lighting and colors, Roku TV built-in for seamless streaming and a handy voice remote.

Apple Watches are always popular during Black Friday, and last year's Apple Watch SE 2 is always one of the most sought-after because it's a fantastic watch sold cheaper than other Apple Watches. Walmart now has the smartwatch down to just $179 - a record-low price.

Apple Watch SE 2 GPS 40mm: was $249 now $179 at Walmart
The 2nd gen SE is a solid option, super affordable, and is $70 off at Walmart ahead of Black Friday. The discount doesn't go live until 3pm ET, but Walmart Plus members can access it three hours earlier, from 12pm ET. You can join Walmart Plus for a 30-day free trial here, and we advise you do so in case this deal sells out.

Samsung's art-inspired The Frame TV is always on my Black Friday wish list, and Walmart is helping my wish come true thanks to today's massive discount, which drops the 75-inch model down to $1,899 (was $2,999). That's a whopping $1,100 and a new record-low price, beating the current offer at Best Buy and Amazon.
