Amazon Prime Day returns to Australia in a week — here's everything you need to know to get prepped and early deals now live

If your budget can't stretch to a pair of Sony XM6 or XM5 headphones, this more affordable option makes sensible compromises to significantly lower the price, which is even better ahead of Prime Day. The WH-CH720N are among our favourite Bluetooth over-ears at this price, with fantastic sound and noise cancellation.

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.

These B&W headphones are gorgeous to both look at and listen to, and they've now received a huge discount ahead of Prime Day. 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.

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 Sennheiser HDB 630 over-ears unearth plenty of detail and dynamism from your music thanks to an included USB-C dongle. At AU$999 RRP they're certainly an investment, but a 20% discount helps. You can read our Sennheiser HDB 630 review for more details.

Bose continues its class-leading noise-cancellation legacy with the QuietComfort Ultra headphones and backs that up with exceptional sound quality. We personally weren't too convinced by the new Immersive Audio mode, but the fact it doesn't discriminate against source or streaming service means there is still plenty of appeal.

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. Currently this price is only for the white colourway.

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.

We like the smooth, easy-going sound produced by these JBL earbuds in our review. Add in the fact they have a useful, interactive case and a heap of customisable features, and you have yourself an excellent pair of in-ear headphones.

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. The deal price here is for the Black Graphite model only.

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. And all four colours available via the same listing are the same discounted price.

It has gone lower in price before, but this is still a good deal on the Flip 7. currently the best deal I can find on the Flip 7. This Award-winning speaker delivers a sound packed with detail, insight and impact. JBL is so often the king of BT spekaers, and this model proves why.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This Sony turntable is as fuss-free as they come concerning setup and getting your favourite vinyl records spinning – in fact, we liked it so much we awarded it 5/5 stars in our 2020 review. Whether you're playing via wired or wireless speakers, it delivers a delightfully musical sound that will satisfy vinyl beginners or those looking for a more hands-off approach. It has Bluetooth so can stream vinyl to your wireless speakers too. This is the lowest Amazon price we've seen, so a very worthwhile deal for a quality deck.

This JBL turntable is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can by pass it if you wish) or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. We'd obviously recommend using the phono output first, but streaming via Bluetooth is a lot more convenient!

A What Hi-Fi? multi-award winner for good reason, the WiiM Pro Plus is an incredibly talented streamer that support virtually any source you can think of, be it a music or internet radio service, or music stored on a server thanks to DLNA compatibility. Analogue inputs mean you can stream from your turntable or CD player too, and the sound it serves up is exceptional for the money.

The WiiM Amp Pro adds more power over the regular Amp, resulting in an improvement in sound quality. It maintains a compact size, and all of the streaming capabilities that make WiiM so appealing.

The WiiM Ultra is a superb streamer, delivering crisp, clear sound alongside a wealth of connectivity and streaming features. The touchscreen is a nice, er, touch, although the lack of AirPlay support is surprising.

It might be a fews years old now, but the Sony X90L is still a fantastic TV option, especially in this 75-inch guise. We praised its bright, impactful picture quality in our review, and could only really fault it for having jus two HDMI 2.1 ports.

Sonos' brilliant Beam (Gen 2) is a two-time Award-winning soundbar and an absolute steal at this great price. I know, it's not an Amazon deal, but with Sonos knocking 25% off, I had to include it here. The headlining feature of the Beam (Gen 2) is Dolby Atmos support, with the 3D audio format bringing immersive sound to your movies, music and gaming.

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 28% discount makes it even easier to recommend. While it has been a smidge cheaper (it was AU$169 for Boxing Day 2024, for example), this is still a great price for a well-built 'bar that will improve your TV's sound with minimum hassle.

A previous What Hi-Fi? Award winner, this Sennheiser soundbar boasts 13 speaker drivers within its rather large body, which it uses to deliver a powerful, articulated sound that fills and envelops a room, all without the need for a wireless subwoofer or rear speakers. It’s a big unit, and it is heavy, but it produces a sound unlike any other soundbar.

Receiving a healthy 37% off, 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.

While often discounted to this same price, we haven't seen the Nebula Mars 3 go lower, and it's a great deal. It serves up great brightness levels for a portable model, although you'll benefit most from watching at night.

Something a little different now, the Bravia Theatre U. As we found in our review, this neckband-cum-speaker delivers genuinely good sound. It's a little fussy to set up and we wish there was more bass, but if you want to try this personal audio device, this is a great price to do so.
