Shopping tips

Before Black Friday officially arrives, I like to get a little bit of preparation done in advance to ease the financial burden of all those amazing deals. Hopefully, some of these tips will help you grab a cracking Black Friday CD player bargain.

1. Keep a list handy: By keeping a list of the products you're interested in handy means you'll have a more focused approach when looking out for a great deal. I keep a list of all the products I'm on the lookout for on my phone and on my Amazon wish list so I can check at a glance what's on sale and when.

2. Budget: This year's Black Friday takes place on the second to last day of the month, so for a lot of people, that means it will fall around pay day. But to take some of the stress out of the big shop, if you can put some money aside for the sales, it can certainly ease the financial burden of grabbing a new CD player. I've been putting a little bit of cash aside for the Black Friday weekend - not a lot, but what I do save now will help once I start adding products to my basket.

3. Shop around: Before throwing your money at a new CD player, comparing prices of the item you're keen on is well worth 5 minutes of your time. Prices around Black Friday can vary wildly, and some retailers will also throw in the occasional freebie. Check the small print and prices.

Myself and the Louder team are doing that so we can bring you some great CD player savings right here, so keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly. Also keep your eyes on our Black Friday music deals page. Not only will be have CD player deals, but also discounts on all sorts of other products such as CDs, vinyl box sets, headphones, Lego kits, turntables and more.

How we choose products

I've mentioned previously that I still buy CDs so when it comes to choosing a CD player, I first take a look at what the big names including Philips, Sony and Panasonic have out on the market.

I'll then look at what extras the CD player has: Does it have Bluetooth connectivity? Is it compact enough for my music shelf? Does it have a built-in DAB radio? Does it come with a remote control? Do I have wired speakers? Is it portable?

I'll always highlight the important information to help you make an informed decision - and if there's a lesser-known CD player brand, I'll check it out thoroughly before recommending it to you.

Myself and the Louder team are bringing you the Black Friday CD player deals that we think offer great value for money - and posting them right here.
