Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is over — shop these 30+ deals AV kit before they disappear
Your final call for savings on headphones, speakers, streamers and more
That's all, folks — Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is over for another year, but what a jam-packed seven days it was. The sale proved far more fruitful than I expected, with some incredible prices on the likes of headphones, Bluetooth speakers and hi-fi components.
All things must come to an end though, and so the sale has now officially ended. That being said, there are still a few deals left lingering, which you can view below. In most cases the deal price has increased ever so slightly, while in some others the prices are the same as what I saw during Prime Day.
For example, a decent selection of Sennheiser headphones is still on sale, both closed-back and open-back, such as the HD 599and HD 505. The Award-winning Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds also still get a AU$150 discount in all colours, and it's also pleasing to see there's still a AU$150 saving on the Harman Kardon Luna 2 Bluetooth speaker.
If you somehow missed out during Prime Day (where were you?!) then the products below could still be tempting. However, if I'm being honest, it's probably better to wait until the Black Friday sales at the end of November. Not only will Amazon be getting in on the sales action during the biggest shopping weekend of the year, but so will plenty of other retailers, so the deals are likely to be some of the best.
Headphones
If you're finding yourself a bit baffled by Bose's huge range of QuietComfort headphones, we don't blame you. This SC variant gets you the audio brand's current mainstream (and well-regarded) noise-cancelling over-ears with a soft carry case – thus the 'SC' – rather than the hard case the regular version comes with. The cans themselves are identical. We haven't reviewed this pair but they are a modest update on the four-star QuietComfort 45, which we praised for superb noise-cancelling and, OK battery life and decent sound.
Our Product of the Year, the Sony XM6 serve up exceptional levels of detail and a spacious sound. ANC is among the very best you'll find, too. We wish they supported audio over USB-C, but otherwise, they're sensational. Note, however, that only the pink model gets a significant price cut.
These B&W headphones are gorgeous to both look at and listen to. As we said in our review of these headphones, they "dig deep into your music, eschewing a broad or general sonic overview and instead pulling out instrumental timbres with the relentless curiosity and enthusiasm of a bloodhound on the scent of a new lead. The best price is on the Canvas White model.
This Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless might have now been replaced, but they're still a stunning set of over-ears that deserve a mention. They sound great, have effective ANC, solid battery life at 60 hours and an excellent app. No wonder they scored a five-star review. The best price is on the Black model.
These open-back Sennheiser headphones are extremely comfortable to wear over longer periods and deliver "as easy-going a listen as you could hope for". They're balanced, clear and are able to serve up excellent levels of detail, particularly in the mid-range.
We may have only rated this pair of Sennheiser over ears four out of five stars, but much of the criticism fades into the background given this 23% saving. We love their spacious, detailed and tonally balanced sound as well as their comfortable design and solid build.
The open-backed HD 599 promise a "natural tonal balance" and "spatial presentation", plus comfy velour earpads and detachable cables.
Sennheiser's delivered something special with the HD 620S, which offer the expansive and spacious acoustics of open-back headphones in a closed-back design. This audiophile-grade pair of over-ears earned 4 stars in our Sennheiser HD 620S review, where we praised their "detailed and smooth sound".
Apple's first-generation AirPods Max took home an Award back in 2021 for several reasons. These noise-cancelling over-ears are wonderful to use, boast spatial audio support and stake their claim as some of the very best-sounding wireless headphones we have heard. Their successor does offer improvements across the board, but this discount makes these an easier recommendation.
These true wireless buds are a bargain at their full price, so picking a pair up for 33% off is something of a no-brainer if you want good sound but are on a super tight budget. Despite launching in 2020, we still rate the Earfun Airs 5/5 in our review – and they're one of the cheapest sets of earbuds we're comfortable recommending.
As the winner of a What Hi-Fi? 2025 Award, it's incredibly easy to recommend the WF-C510: they're compact, comfortable, IPX4 water resistant, and serve up a delightful, balanced sound – punching well about their sub-AU$100 price tag. Their one shortcoming is that they don't offer active noise cancelling, but given they have decent passive noise isolation (like most rubber-tip equipped in-ears) that shouldn't be an issue for most people.
Employing best-in-class noise cancellation, an unbelievably comfortable and secure fit, solid battery life and a feature-packed app, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are nothing short of exemplary.
These 4-star open earbuds from Bose offer a musical and entertaining sound, while also providing a comfortable and secure fit. If you've been tempted by the prospect of open earbuds, whereby the earpiece doesn't go into the ear canal, then Bose's debut pair are worthy of consideration.
If you're an Apple user, the AirPods Pro 3 makes a lot of sense. Serving up a comfortable fit, great sound and decent noise-cancellation, not to mention seamless connectivity. The price here doesn't quite match the all-time low of AU$299 seen during the last Prime Day, but any saving on Apple tech is worth shouting about.
They are still expensive for a set of in-ear headphones, we know, but the Award-winning B&W Pi8 are unlike any pair of earbuds we've heard before. They are exceptionally detailed in their audio delivery and the ANC onboard can comfortably compete with the very best. A number of other useful features only add to their appeal.
We gave these stunning earbuds 5 stars out of 5 in our Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 review, praising their rich, detailed and dynamic sound and comfortable fit. ANC isn't quite best-in-class, but they still do a mighty fine job of blocking out external noise. They're simply terrific, especially at this price.
These Technics buds deliver a sound packed with detail and clarity, and one that is entirely engaging. ANC is great, and they're packed with useful features.
Speakers
This bigger, beefier JBL speaker also won an Award in 2025 for its powerful, punchy sound and it's ability to reveal great detail. We love how portable and tough it is too, but this isn't the cheapest they've previously been (the blue was AU$185 at the start of this sale).
If you don't need a super-tough rugged exterior, this second-generation Bose SoundLink Flex, which launched in late 2024, is a good choice. While the exterior is quite sleek compared to the UE and JBL counterparts, it's still waterproof and delivers sound with a clear and detailed midrange. It's also perfectly portable, but it's perhaps best suited to being taken outside to the pool, rather than on a full hiking trip. Note that only Sunset Peach and Rosewood Mauve are available at this price.
The Ultimate Ears Epicboom delivers an expansive soundstage, backed by a strong feature set. It's not the absolute last word in musicality, but it's a great option for outdoor parties, especially with this hefty discount.
We said this Harman Kardon speaker delivers one of the "most articulate and vocally impressive performances this sort of money can buy" in our review, and that was at full price. Now it's better than half price, it's an absolute steal. Note that the deal price here only applies to the Black and Sand colourways.
The Bose SoundLink Plus is a rugged, portable and entertaining speaker. It sports an impressive IP67 rating, meaning it can comfortably survive outdoors. It's not packed with features, but it's definitely packed with sound offering rich, full-bodied sonic presentation that will bring music to your summer and beyond.
Hi-Fi components
It has dropped to AU$213 before, but this is still a great saving on the iconic Sound Burger record player. It's cleverly designed and easy of use, and makes a fabulous entry into vinyl sound.
Technics unveiled this new spinner at IFA 2025, with the new model combining its direct-drive design with the ability to stream wirelessly over Bluetooth. Other features include an S-shaped tonearm, Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge and a built-in MM phono stage.
Home cinema
We've not yet reviewed the LG B6, but we were impressed when we saw it in action and we're fans of previous B-series models. It offers all the benefits of OLED panel technology, along with superb gaming specs. HDR support is solid too, with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG all on board – only HDR10+ is missing.
The more powerful sibling to the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, the Max offers improved Wi-Fi performance and a faster processor – letting you traverse every major streaming service easily and lag-free. Perfect for those who want a stress-free, high-value addition to the lounge room, all you have to do is plug it in like any HDMI cord. We have seen it AU$10 cheaper before, but this is still a great deal.
Despite being over 5 years old, we still reckon this already-affordable 2-channel Sony model is the best cheap soundbar you can buy in 2026 – and this discount makes it even easier to recommend.
In our Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar review, we did say it struggled dynamically compared to some other models, but it still offers an expansive sonic presentation, and it's built to an incredibly high standard.
We gave this Sony Dolby Atmos package five stars in our review, praising it for its ability to comfortably fill a room with impactful, detailed surround sound. It's a little fiddly to install, but we promise it's worth the effort.
Ok, so this isn't an Amazon deal, but I have to include it. It is available from Amazon, it's just a little more expensive. This Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player delivers on multiple fronts. It includes support for all major HDR formats, and serves up a hugely immersive and impactful picture, backed up with a strong audio performance. No wonder it won a What Hi-Fi? Award in 2025. Read our Panasonic DP-UB820 review for more details.
This mini home projector from Anker can display images up to 120 inches in size, with 200 ANSI lumens of brightness. It's portable too, offering up to 2.5 hours of battery life. It didn't score that highly with us, but we appreciated its ease of use and its SDR performance.
Amazon Prime Day Australia FAQ
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is Amazon's bi-annual sales event, conceived in response to other major sales such as Black Friday. The first Prime Day was held in 2018, one year after Amazon arrived Down Under. While other online retailers get involved in the Black Friday bargain bun fight, Prime Day is generally all about Amazon, though you might see other retailers lowering prices at the same time in order to jump on the sales frenzy bandwagon and stay competitive during that period.
Prime Day is a big sale that encompasses most areas of the Amazon site – as well as audiovisual gear, you'll find discounts on toasters, books, clothes, and pretty much anything that Amazon sells. And that's a lot!
You'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the best offers. Not yet a member? Amazon’s free 30-day Prime trial gives you the option to sign up, bag a few bargains during the sale, and cancel your membership without paying a cent. Go you.
Prime Day 2026 dates: when is Prime Day in Australia?
There have already been two Amazon sales in Australia in 2026. The first was the Big Smile Sale, that showed up in March, running for seven days from Monday, March 16 until Sunday, March 22.
The main Prime Day followed next, kicking off on on Tuesday, July 7. It also ran for seven days, coming to an end on Monday, July 13. Amazon Prime Day sales in other countries took place a little earlier in June, but we had the EOFY sales here in Australia, so it seemed logical that Amazon would avoid that.
What Prime Day 2026 deals can I expect?
It's always tricky to confidently assume what deals will appear during Prime Day – although Amazon devices are a shoo-in – but based on previous Prime Day sales, we reckon JBL Bluetooth speakers, Sony wireless buds and Bose headphones are all safe bets. AirPods also tend to get a look in — the AirPods Pro 3 dropped to a record-low AU$299 in July. It would be great if that happened again, but we're not holding out breath.
Other popular items from previous Amazon Prime Day sales have included the Sony WH-1000XM5 and older WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones, Amazon Echo Show smart speakers and Fire TV video streamers, Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, WiiM streamers and amplifiers and KEF speakers.
Sonos, Sennheiser, Sony and Bose products — particularly headphones — have been known to appear during Prime Day sales, so if you have your eye on something from one of the bigger brands, there's a good chance some money will be lopped off it.
What about hi-fi? Unfortunately, Prime Day tends to spotlight more mass-market product categories such as TVs, soundbars and Bluetooth speakers for deals, meaning that discounts on hi-fi gear are far and few between.
While some other retailers drop their prices to piggyback the Amazon Prime events, Black Friday remains the best time of the year to buy hi-fi at discounted prices due to many specialist hi-fi retailers getting on board the more encompassing sale.
How much does Amazon Prime cost in 2026?
First things first: to be eligible for Prime Day discounts, you need Amazon Prime. This is effectively a membership fee that gives you free standard international delivery on select orders over AU$49 or free expedited delivery (in select areas) on eligible items bought from Amazon, as well as access to the Prime Video and Amazon Music streaming services (but not Amazon Music Unlimited – that costs extra), free ebooks, and the ability to share some of these benefits with others in your household.
Amazon Prime costs AU$9.99 a month, or AU$79 if you pay yearly (saving you AU$40 compared to paying monthly). Changed your mind? You can cancel your Prime membership on the Manage Prime Membership page.
And if you haven't placed a Prime-eligible order or used any of your Prime benefits within your membership, you'll be refunded in full.
There's an Amazon Prime free trial, too. Sign up, select 'Start my free trial', and you'll have access to Prime for 30 days with nothing to pay.
That means you can sign up, take advantage of the deals, and then cancel your trial before the 30 days end and not be charged your second month's fee for Prime. Not that we would condone such behaviour, of course!
To be eligible for the trial, you can't have subscribed to Prime in the last 12 months.
Prime Day Australia 2026 shopping tips
1. Sign up for the free Prime trial
If you're new to Amazon Prime, make sure you take advantage of the 30-day free Prime trial. And remember to cancel if you don't want a monthly bill for AU$9.99 when the trial ends.
2. Google a product before buying
Not every Prime Day deal in 2026 is going to be a winner, so make sure you compare prices online before you buy, and, of course, check reviews to make sure the product is worth buying at all!
We at What Hi-Fi? work tirelessly to call out the best deals on the consumer electronics categories we cover – our job, after all, is to point customers towards the best products on the market – so if we haven't included one in our deals coverage, there's usually a good reason for it!
3. Big brands can equal big savings
Amazon often slashes the cost of a few big-brand items – think Playstation and Xbox accessories, Samsung TVs and tablets, etc – to get the attention of shoppers. Keep an eye out for these 'marquee' deals.
4. Check the Amazon Warehouse
Returned goods end up on sale at the Amazon Warehouse at a decent discount, so there's a chance you could spot an open-box bargain that beats the box-fresh Prime Day price.
5. Stay tuned to whathifi.com
Amazon unleashes thousands of deals around Prime Day, which can make it tricky to find genuine bargains on five-star tech and AV. That's why we'll be publishing an up-to-the-minute list of the very best Prime Day 2026 deals.
