Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is live — these are the 40+ best deals on AV kit I've found so far

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.

This pair of Bose QC Headphones is the exact same as the model above, the only difference being these are available in a wider choice of colours, and they come with a hard-shell carry case instead.

The first-gen Bose QC Ultra Headphones are superb. While they've now been replaced by a newer model, this set still delivers class-leading noise-cancellation, backed up with exceptional sound quality. We personally weren't too convinced by the Immersive Audio mode, but the fact it doesn't discriminate against source or streaming service means there is still plenty of appeal.

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.

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. Various colours receive significant discounts.

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.

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 22% 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 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.

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. The best price is on the blue colourway.

The JBL Grip plugs the gap between the smaller Clip and formidable Flip. It's a compact speaker that delivers a big sound, offers impressive protection against dust and water and has some nifty LED lighting on its rear. The Flip 7 is still our top recommendation, but with the Grip now down to a low AU$69.95 (in yellow and turquoise colours) it's well worth your consideration.

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.

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.

It's still expensive for a portable Bluetooth speaker, but this all-new KEF Muo (released roughly a year ago) is a great performer, although perhaps not quite the slam dunk the brand was hoping for. Still, it delivers an expressive, expansive sound, is built to a high standard and has protection against dust and water.

WiiM's first smart speaker is a success, and this Lite version is the more affordable of two models (the other is the Sound), with the main differentiator being it doesn't have a screen. You can read our WiiM Sound review for more details, but the short of it is, this is an impressive speaker with a pleasing sonic character, and we love the fact it's brimming with connectivity features.

If you do want the screen, the WiiM Sound also gets a 20% discount.

Exhibiting a similarly gorgeous design to their LS50 Meta cousins, the LSX II speaker system benefits from the esteemed brand’s Uni-Q driver that creates “a stereo image that’s like a bubble of sound”, as we said in our KEF LSX II review. All of the main wireless connectivity options are supported, along with a few physical connections and high-resolution audio. The deal price here is for multiple colours.

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.

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.

It's not a huge saving, we admit, but KEF's KC62 sub is an absolute beauty, and so any discount applied shouldn't be sniffed at. It offers incredibly powerful and clean bass for its tiny size, and is a breeze to set up. Available in mineral white or titanium grey.

This isn't a new Fire streaming device, but rather a renamed Fire TV 4K. This version of Amazon's media streamer supports Dolby Vision/Atmos and HDR10+, giving you the best-possible picture quality. The one thing it doesn't have is the Alexa voice control remote, which does come with the TV Stick 4K Max.

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.

If you're dissatisfied with the performance of your smart TV's native interface, Amazon's Fire TV Cube is the brand's top streaming device, offering lightning-fast app loading thanks to its octa-core processor – which is 2x more powerful than its Fire TV Stick 4K Max sibling (above). Via Prime Video, you can stream more than 350K movies and TV shows, with access to all of your favourite streamers and free-to-air catch-up apps, and there's a speaker so you can use it for audio even when your TV is turned off. The Fire TV Cube is basically as feature-packed as streaming devices can get.

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. While it has been a smidge cheaper (it was AU$169 during the last Prime Day, for example), this is still a great price for a well-built 'bar that will improve your TV's sound with minimum hassle.

This 3.1-channel Sony soundbar is a few years old now, but it's still a top performer, especially for the money. We gave it four stars when we reviewed it, praising it for its detail retrieval and tonal balance. Height effects aren't the most convincing we've come across, but ultimately this will work wonders to boost the sound from your TV.

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. This 41% discount makes it a lot easier to recommend.

We said this affordable projector "nails the basics" in our Xgimi Vibe One review, as it's able to serve up a wonderfully natural picture. You will need to tweak some contrast and sharpness settings to achieve it, but thankfully it's easy to do so.

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. The saving here is thanks to an extra 30% off at checkout.

It did go slightly lower in price during Prime Day, but this is still a good price on the Nebula Mars 3 projector. It serves up great brightness levels for a portable model, although you'll benefit most from watching at night.
