Surprisingly, quite a few of the smaller electronics and accessories we recommend are currently on sale for less than $50. These deals include picks from our guides to accessories, portable batteries, budget earbuds and smart speakers. There are also quite a few streaming subscription deals that fall within that price range, too.
Everything on this list has earned the Engadget seal of approval — be it from official reviews, buying guides, personal use or devices from brands we know to be reputable — so you don't have to guess whether these Black Friday tech deals are worth your (less than) $50.

Google is running a short test in Germany, Belgium and Estonia that removes more detailed results from Google Search when users look for hotels and lodgings in these countries. Results will instead appear in a simple "blue link" that older users may recall from years past. The primary reason behind this test is pressure from the European Union, which is calling for more Google compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
According to a blog post, Google has been working hard over the past year with the European Commission and various industries, particularly hotels, airlines and small retailers. The company claims these three business types are experiencing 30 percent less traffic due to changes to comply further with the DMA. However, comparison sites are asking for more. For the uninitiated, comparison sites gather various results for users to pick between.
Therefore, Google is now proposing three more changes to Search. The main change is "expanded and equally formatted units" that let users choose between comparison sites or supplier websites. This change only applies to searches for products, hotels, flights and restaurants.
Another change is new formatting that allows comparison sites to show more information when they appear in Google Search, such as pictures and prices. The final change is the introduction of new ad units for comparison sites.
TechCrunch received a statement from the European Commission regarding the enforcement of DMA. Lea Zuber, an EU spokesperson, didn't say much besides confirming that they're

And there's never been a better time to snag one because this Beelink EQR6 mini PC is now just $349 on Amazon, a remarkable 30 percent off its usual price tag of $500.
So, what's in this tiny thing? Well, for starters, you have an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, a high-performance processor that can easily handle any demanding task you throw its way. It also has AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics, which is perfectly capable of modest gaming and creative work like video editing.
It also packs a whopping 24GB of DDR5 RAM, providing more than enough memory to multitask however many apps and browser tabs you need day to day. (It's actually a surprise to see DDR5 on a mini PC, especially since most models in this price range still opt for slower DDR4 modules.) And there's also 1TB of SSD storage on board, enough to hold all your apps, games, photos, videos, and more.
And unlike laptops, which are typically restricted in what parts you can upgrade, this Beelink mini PC is easily upgradeable if you ever feel like you've reached its limits (up to 64GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage). Rounding off its multitasking perfection are two HDMI (4K@60Hz) ports, one USB-C 3.2 port, three USB-A 3.2 ports, and one USB-A 2.0 port.
This is a spectacular mini PC for the price. Don't miss out on this chance to grab the Beelink EQR6 mini PC for just $349! This is an Amazon Black Friday deal you won't regret jumping on.

There are a bunch of Black Friday deals on PlayStation products, but here's one that was perhaps a little unexpected. The PS5 Access controller has dropped to $59, which is a record low price. It's slightly over a third off the list price of $90.
Sony created this controller to make the PlayStation 5 more accessible to a wider group of players. It released the Access controller last December.
The Access controller comes with 19 button caps and three stick caps to help players fin

Black Friday deals offer opportunities to pick up holiday gifts for less but also treat-yourself items you've been eyeing. One of our favorite gadgets that falls under that category is the Ninja Creami, a favorite kitchen gadget of ours that scored a 90 in our review. Ninja Black Friday deals seem to already be in full swing because you can grab the ice cream maker for $50 off right now, for a final price of $180. That's not too far away from its record low price, making it a solid deal. While it isn't quite the season for ice cream in North America, there's never truly a bad time to enjoy it.
This is a more compact ice cream machine than many other household models. The Ninja Creami is very easy to use as well, since it operates in a similar way to a food processor. You'll need to make a liquid ice cream base and then freeze it, ideally for 24 hours.
You can then use the machine to blend in flavors. Cleaning up is a cinch if you have a dishwasher, since everything aside from the machine component is safe to place alongside your dishes on the racks.
On the downside, it is a rather noisy machine. We estimate that the volume is somewhere between that of a food processor and a countertop blender running at full spe

Bose's most recent QuietComfort headphones have dropped to $199 for Black Friday, bringing the over-ear cans down to a record-low price. With this 43-percent discount, you can get a pair of headphones with excellent active noise cancellation for a fraction of their usual price. And whether you're eyeing them for yourself or for someone else as a gift, you have seven colors to choose from.
A version of these cans made our list of the best wireless headphones, so there's plenty to recommend. The battery life is fantastic, lasting around 24 hours on a single charge. There's also a quick charge feature, which can squeeze two hours of additional use with just 15 minutes at the power outlet. These are primarily wireless headphones, but can operate with an analog connection.
