The week of Black Friday 2024 has finally arrived and, like us, you've probably started to shop around for some early deals. Among the slew of Black Friday deals we've spotted at TechRadar, these offers on the Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds are one of our stand-outs ahead of the big day.

These amazing earbuds are on offer this Black Friday on both sides of the pond, now for $169.99 down from $229.99 at BestBuy (Gen 2), and £99 from £199.99 at John Lewis (Gen 1). But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Given Jabra's Elite 8 Active fitness headphones are currently top of our overall best workout headphones list, its current record-low prices in both the US and UK are an absolute steal. Therefore, whether they'll hit a lower price come the big day itself is unknown: our advice is to secure your pair sooner rather than later if you're in the market for a new set of workout headphones.

The Gen 2 model differs ever so slightly from its Gen 1 version, packing a USB-C to headphone jack cable which allows you to listen to music from a number of devices. You can't put a price on a comfortable and durable pair of earbuds, but if it's a record low price tag like this one then we'd encourage you to go for it.

Given that the Gen 1 model doesn't pack the same USB-C to headphone jack cable, that doesn't mean they lack a great listening experience for both sound and comfortability. £99 is a fantastic price for a set of our best workout headphones, but for how much longer this will stay is the question on all of our lips.
