Musical instruments and music equipment are expensive, whether you’re creating it or just listening to the creations of others. We’ve collected the best Cyber Monday music deals on Amazon to help you save money on gifts or necessities for your own home studio.
Without a doubt, the most comfortable and among the best-sounding headpones, the QuietComfort 35s are worth every penny at full price, but on Cyber Monday, you can have them for $70 off, a 20 percent discount.
These are well-balanced, rich sounding headphones with great noise cancelling. They’re also far more comfortable than most other options out there, with the lean design keeping them relatively light.
EarthQuaker Devices pedals rarely go on sale, but they make an exception on C. Their entire stable of pedals is 15 percent off today, which means you can get into some excellent tones for the lowest new price you’re likely to find.
That includes this, the Plumes, EQD’s latest take on a Tube Screamer clone (after their Palisades and Dunes, also on sale), which features three clipping voices, reduced noise compared to the original circuit, and more headroom, which leads to more clarity. It’s fantastic and pretty cheap for a boutique pedal at $99 normally, but you can grab it for less than that today.
If you’ve been considering switching to a modeling rig, today might be the day to make the leap. This bundle combines the HeadRush pedalboard combination guitar amp and modeling processor with the FRFR-108 speaker cabinet for the price of the pedalboard alone.
The HeadRush is one of the chief competitors to the mega-popular Line 6 Helix, generally selling for a couple hundred bucks less. With this deal, they’re they’re throwing in the full-range, flat-response speaker cabinet designed to work optimally with the cabinet models that dwell within the pedalboard.
The graphic interface is super-easy to use and the sounds are top-notch. If you’re ready to move on from individual effects, take advantage of this Cyber Monday deal.
I’m a big fan of Fluance gear and use the Fluance Fi50 as my office system. Their stuff rarely goes on sale, so take this opportunity to grab their excellent RT81 turntable for a tidy $40 off this Cyber Monday.
These are fantastic record players with a sturdy wood plinth for good isolation, an s-type aluminum tone arm sporting an Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge, and an on-board phono preamp so you can use it with powered speakers and forego a component system.
iPads are excellent tools for music creation and even better for live performances. A few of them are on sale for Cyber Monday and worth picking up if the musician in your life doesn’t have one yet.
When considering gifts for musicians, anything that helps them record makes a good choice, so this bundle that includes a microphone, interface, headphones, and DAW software makes a good option. Bundles save you money to begin with, and this one is discounted nearly another quarter for Cyber Monday.
We originally put the Alesis Recital on our list of the best keyboards for beginners because it is an excellent full-sized keyboard for the money. For Cyber Monday, you can step up to the Recital Pro for only $299, which saves you 14% or $50.
The Recital Pro features 12 voices to the standard version’s five, as well as premium fully-weighted, hammer-action keys with adjustable touch response. Hard to beat for the money even when it isn’t on sale, it’s an outstanding choice when it is.
Ukuleles are fun gifts to give on Christmas, and not just so they can play “Mele Kalikimaka”, though for that reason, too. Today you can save 20 percent on each of the Concert, Soprano, or Tenor ukuleles from Donner by clipping the coupon as you add it to your cart.
These are bundles, which include the mahogany-bodied ukuleles, as well as picks, a strap, a tuner, strings, and a nice gig bag to keep everything in. Add in 21 Easy Ukulele Songs for Christmas by Jenny Peters and Rebecca Bogart and they’ll be regaling you with holiday tunes by the end of the day.
If you need another option for a beginner digital piano, this one from Roland is a great portable option weighing only 15 pounds and is on sale today for $100 off or 25 percent.
The key (no pun intended) to this one is the portability and Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth aspect extends both to MIDI processing and playing play-along tracks from your smartphone.
On board are 415 sounds across ten drum kits, all sampled directly from studio-recorded kits in the faithful Yamaha style. There are also training functions and iOS/Android apps for recording and rehearsing. An oustanding Christmas gift for the budding drummer.
‘Tis the season for guitar starter kits to get new guitarists up and running. I recieved one myself years ago and it remains one of the best Christmases of all time.
This set is focused around the Epiphone Les Paul Special-II, which itself costs $199 (although there’s a $30-off coupon today). It’s a solid starter guitar, which is joined in this pack by an Electra ten-watt amp, a ten-foot instrument cable, picks, a strap, and a gig bag. Free downloadable guitar lessons are also included.
Another contender for piano keyboard for beginners, this smart piano is on sale for $280 off MSRP, a discount of 31 percent for Cyber Monday.
This is focused on quick-start learning with an LED panel that lights up to show beginners what keys to push and integration with an iOS app that coordinates light-up sheet music. Speaking of keys, it features a full 88 hammer-action keys with 128 note polyphony to help novice players get used to the feel of a real piano quickly.
Neumann make some of the best microphones on the planet, and you can grab savings on one of their trusted designs with 20 percent off the TLM 102, which translates to over $140 off.
This is a large diaphragm microphone with an SPL limit of 144 decibels. That means that while it shines for vocals, it can also be used for drums and guitar amps. This includes a mic stand mount and comes in your choice of nickel or black finish.
Denon make some of the best-sounding gear out there, especially for the price. If you’re looking for something reasonably modern, Bluetooth-enable, but better than your average rechargeable speaker, this mini system could be for you. It’s 20 percent off today, saving you $100.
This set comes with the mini amplifier, which has two optical inputs, one RCA input, and a subwoofer output in addition to the Bluetooth integration. Two 30-watt two-way speakers and a full-function remote complete the set.
This is comparable to the Sharp XL-BH250, which also has five-CD capacity, or the Sony Compact Stereo Sound Sytem, but definitely sounds better than either of those. A definite step up for small setups.
If you’re looking for something full-size today, the Denon Avr-X4500H Receiver is $400 off and is compatible with all the three-dimensional sound formats.
Looking for an alternative to AirPods? Sennheiser makes some of the best headphones on the market, and that expertise carries over to their Momentum earbuds, which are on sale for $90 off for Cyber Monday.
These play for four hours on a charge, while the charging case can recharge them twice before needing to be recharged itself. The clarity and comfort of these far surpasses most other wireless earbuds out there.
Looking for gifts for guitar players? How about this 28 percent off deal on a stocking stuffer that can become a desk ornament.
The replica Fender Strat will help keep their favorite guitar close when they can’t be near it. The sale isn’t limited to this burst, either. You can get a Jimi Hendrix Monterey Strat (33 percent off today), SRV Strat (31 percent off), or even an Abby Road Beatles tribute (40 percent off).
