As the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, so too have Amazon’s Black Friday deals become the best Amazon Cyber Monday deals. It’s all a little bit hat-on-a-hat, since Cyber Monday was originally invented to give people an opportunity to shop online instead of braving the Black Friday mosh pits that formed outside Walmart. But here we are. And more importantly, here are the best of the Cyber Monday discounts from Amazon.
After being on-call for Prime Day, pre-Thanksgiving sales, and Black Friday weekend, I’ve learned how to spot the mark-downs actually worth shopping. As seasoned Prime members know all too well, a lot of products are perpetually “on sale” at Amazon—and if a product is always on sale, then it’s never actually on sale.
Amazon’s best Cyber Monday deals of 2023 are on products that didn’t get big discounts during past sales events. There are also new products getting their first-ever price drop on Amazon, including Sony’s new wireless headphones, LG’s latest OLED, the new M3 MacBooks, and even products from direct-to-consumer favorites like Our Place and Brooklinen.
So as the sun rises on Cyber Monday, I’m still on the hunt for bargains that, once upon a time, would have had shoppers lining up to fistfight in the Target parking lot. What kinds of deals are we talking about? For starters, big drops on appliances like Dyson vacuums, fitness machines from Hydrow and Peloton, menswear basics from Levi’s, and even some stylish home decor hidden deep in Amazon’s virtual shelves.
I’ll be adding new deals and culling old discounts as Cyber Monday continues, so stop back and say hi every so often.

Best Amazon Cyber Monday Deals: Tech
Sony
WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
These new wireless headphones from Sony brought an aesthetic upgrade to the top-of-the-line XM model, improved the noise-canceling, and the sound. We’d mostly seen deals on the previous model, so this is a good get on a helluva pair of headphones.
Sony
PlayStation 5 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Bundle
Get the most popular game of the moment for free when you snag this PS5 bundle from Amazon.
Sony
OLED 65″ BRAVIA XR A75L Series 4K OLED TV
Buying a TV at any other time of year would be a damn foolish mistake. This mid-range OLED from Sony comes with special features for PlayStation gamers, but anyone will appreciate the deep blacks that come with a true OLED display.
Samsung
The Frame 50″ QLED Smart TV
Samsung doesn’t make the only art TV, but it does make the only one worth buying. This smart TV will display artwork when not in use, removing the home decor dead zone created by most flatscreens.
Google
Amazon must hate Google, which is eating Amazon’s lunch with the Google Nest smart home products. Of course, since you’re buying this on Amazon, it probably doesn’t sting too badly.
Bose
QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Earbuds
The newest earbuds from Bose introduce improved noise cancelation and spatial audio. These GQ-tested earbuds are also supremely comfortable, and they just got their first price drop.
Apple
Get an AirTag for all of your favorite accessories. You can even put one on your dog.
Apple
2023 MacBook Pro with M3 Pro Chip
The M1 MacBook Air blew tech reviewers away when it first came out, but if you need the best possible MacBook for creative work, then you’ll be happy to know that Apple’s latest powerhouse powerbook is getting its first discount.
Apple
Apple Watch Series 9 GPS + Cellular 41mm
The Midnight Blue version of the Series 9 with the integrated cellular data chip is $70 less than usual right now.
Apple
iPad (10th Generation), Pink
Hi, Barbie!
Victrola
Stream Onyx Wireless Turntable
What is your Sonos home audio setup missing? A slick little turntable. This WiFi-enabled record player integrates seamlessly with Sonos products.
Beats
Beats’ first Studio Buds somehow fit active noise canceling and amazing sound into an extremely tiny, comfortable set of ear buds.
Amazon
50″ Fire TV Omni Series 4K
Amazon’s first TV line, the Omni series, surprised and impressed reviewers. And if you don’t need a distractingly large flatscreen, this humble 50-incher still looks great.
Samsung
3.1ch Soundbar and Subwoofer
The only downside to your teched-out new TV? The garbage integrated speakers. Fix that with 2-piece set that acts like four speakers. (And no, you don’t need a Samsung TV for these to sing.)
Nintendo
Nintendo Switch OLED Super Smash Bros. Bundle
Nintendo doesn’t discount it’s consoles (sad!) really, but you can get this sweet little bundle instead, which comes with a download of the classic button-mashing game plus three free months to Nintendo Online.
iRobot
Roomba Combo j5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop
The new self-emptying hybrid from iRobot does everything except play music.
JBL
Flip 6 Portable Bluetooth Party Speaker
In our experience, JBL’s party speaker more than holds its own against Sony and Bose.
Anker
Nano Power Bank with Built-in Foldable USB-C Connector
The USB-C connector on this portable charger folds up and down, and it will pair perfectly with your new iPhone 15.
Bang & Olufsen
Beosound Emerge Bookshelf Wi-Fi Speaker
Bang and Olufsen has mastered the art of making audiophile-worthy products look like something out of MoMA. Take this slender bookshelf speaker, which will look great lined up next to your favorite books.
Amazon
Kindle Paperwhite e-reader
If you’ve ever accidentally bought a Kindle without selecting “No lockscreen ads,” then you know it’s the worst $30 you’ve ever saved. Inevitably, the lockscreen will display ads for tacky romance novels, so pay a little bit more for this version, which is thankfully advertisement-free.
Best Amazon Cyber Monday Deals: Kitchen + Home

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Consider this the starter Dyson. Even though it’s not as young as it used to be, it still makes other vacuums sick with envy.
Dyson
Gen5detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
This is Dyson’s newest, most powerful vacuum. To be honest, it’s probably more powerful than it needs to be, but that’s Dyson’s whole deal.

Steel Nonstick Fry Pan Set
All-Clad deals aren’t easy to come by, but that’s why you read GQ, right?
Ninja
1200 Watt Kitchen System Blender
If you need starter appliances, then you can’t do better than Ninja. The Kitchen System blender will blend (duh), but it can also stand in for several other nice-to-have kitchen tools thanks to a food processor bowl and a single-serving smoothie cup.
Home Habitat
These matching ceramic vases can store your winter bouquets and bring some life to your home when the seasonal affective disorder kicks in.
Aeropress
You’ve never made a cup of coffee like this before. Half French press, half-pour over, this unique coffee maker was designed for travel but works just as well at home.
Casper
Casper’s starter mattress is a little too thin and soft to be our first choice for your primary bedroom, but for a guest bedrooms, kid’s bedroom, or that “investment property” you picked up mid-pandemic, it’s perfect. We’ve got more Cyber Monday mattress deals gathered up, too.
Wenshuo Home
Crinkle Paper Bag Ceramic Vase
Put some peonys or a wildflower arrangement in this, and prepare for everyone to ask “where did you get that??”
Sumi
With all of the holiday craziness, did you forget to water your plants?

Dewalt
20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver
This drill is inflation proof. Somehow, it just keeps getting cheaper, and it’s now at a record-low price. If you’re a DIY-capable gal or guy (and you are, right?), you’ll need a tool like this at some point.
Blueair
Blueair makes one of the few air purifiers that isn’t hideous, and the only one that’s won a GQ Sleep Award. This model is designed for cleaning up large spaces, and will get those nasty PM levels down.
Best Cyber Monday Grooming Deals at Amazon
Meridian
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for a body groomer that’s perfect for manscaping—and womanscaping, and personscaping.
Crest
3D Whitestrips Professional Effects Kit
If you drink coffee on the daily, then you should consider an annual teeth whitening. And Cyber Monday is the perfect time to start that tradition. These white strips use hydrogen peroxide instead of messy purple goop, and it’s amazing that a product that works this well can be priced so low.
Tushy
Basic 2.0 Bidet Toilet Seat
If you’ve resisted buying a bidet for this long, then it’s time to give in to peer pressure and clean that tuchus properly.
Dyson
Women have known for years that Dyson’s coveted hair care tool is worth every penny because it can make anyone’s hair look better in half the time. We’ve seen this $100-off deal pop in and out over the last week, so don’t wait if it’s on your list.
Waterpik
Cordless Advanced Water Flosser
Are you flossing every night? Sorry, we shouldn’t pry.
Braun
With a deal on our pick for the best electric shaver, you can make your cheeks as smooth as a baby’s bottom. (Just don’t ever say that to anyone out loud.)
Best Amazon Cyber Monday Deals: Clothes + Watches
Adidas
Personally, we think these chunky hiking shoes are better off in the city, where they can be properly admired.
Levi’s
A little bit of sherpa for a whole lot of warmth and style.

Men’s 505 Regular Fit Jeans
The Levi’s 505 takes the 501 recipe and adds a little more room in the thighs, then swaps the button fly for a zipper.
Aran Crafts
Fisherman Irish Rib Crew Neck Wool Sweater
We have to give credit to the GQ style team for finding this piece of knitwear. Unlike your average fisherman’s sweater, this piece was crafted in Ireland from 100% wool.
Citizen
Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch
Citizen’s forever watches should never run out of power, and they make great gifts for dads. That doesn’t mean they’d look bad on your own wrist, however.

The only name we’ve allowed on our waistbands since mom wrote them there in kindergarten.

A do-it-all tote so versatile that your other, lesser totes will be jealous.

Veken
Pack smarter, not lighter.

Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Spinner
This expandable spinner has a TSA-friendly lock and external USB-A and C ports (BYO portable battery). Now if only TravelPro could fix PreCheck so it wasn’t as long as the regular lines.
Matein
Don’t be the guy that shows up to a wedding in a wrinkled suit.
Kenneth Cole REACTION
Roamer Softside Expandable Checked Suitcase

Echelon
Smart Connect Fitness Bike
Amazon has plenty of budget spin bikes from brands you’ve never heard of, but Echelon’s affordable connected bikes are the only budget spin bike brand we’d actually recommend to GQ readers.
