Amazon Big Smile Sale 2026 is now live — these are the 25+ best AV & audio deals I've found on day two

If your budget can't stretch to a pair of Sony XM5 or XM4 headphones, this more affordable option makes sensible compromises to significantly lower the price, which is even better for the Big Smile Sale. The WH-CH720N are among our favourite Bluetooth over-ears at this price, with fantastic sound and noise cancellation.

They may now have two successors in Sony XM5 and XM6, but we still rate the Sony XM4s incredibly highly. We have seen them go slightly lower in price before, but this is still a good saving on what is a talented set of cans.

These B&W headphones are gorgeous to both look at and listen to, and they've now received a decent AU$100 discount for Big Smile Sale. 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 80th Anniversary edition of the excellent Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless might have divisive looks, but it's also the cheapest model by far available right now. They sound great, have effective ANC, solid battery life at 60 hours and an excellent app. No wonder they scored a five-star review.

Black is AU$329.

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. At nearly half-price, they're a great buy.

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.

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". With a massive 58% off their Aussie RRP, we have no reservations recommending them to those who enjoy open-back sound.

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.

Samsung's flagship wireless in-ears are at an all-time Aussie low for Big Smile Sale – albeit only in the white colourway. Sporting a revised design that clearly takes 'inspiration' from Apple's AirPods, we awarded the Buds 3 Pros a respectable 4 stars in our review, praising them for their bright and lively sound and strong feature set, though we did feel they might be a bit too forward and brash for some tastes. For this price though, they're an easier recommendation.

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.

These in-ear monitors will provide a stronger connection to your source devices, and can help make the most of the best headphone DACs. You’ll be rewarded with a gorgeous, high-fidelity sound. And, being Sennheiser, they’re impeccably built and are super comfortable to wear for longer sessions.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone looking for a budget streaming app should have the WiiM Amp top of their list. It's incredibly simple to use, is well-built and it's capable of delivering a lively, enjoyable sound. It is limited in its physical connections, but otherwise there isn't a lot that comes close at this price. We ultimately prefer the Amp Pro below, but if you want to spend as little as possible, the regular Amp will serve you well.

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's been a little cheaper in some previous sales (it was AU$59 for Boxing Day 2024, for example), but with an impressive spec list, full range of Australian streaming apps, and an easy-to-navigate interface – particularly when using the bundled Alexa remote – the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max offers plug-and-play Ultra HD streaming at a very nice price.

The Fire TV Stick 4K is down 40% to AU$59, too, while the entry-level Fire TV Stick HD is reduced to AU$49, or 29% off.

It might be a fews years old now, but the Sony X90L is still a fantastic TV option, especially in this 85-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.

85-inch too big? Grab the 65-inch model for AU$1,499.

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.

While we've not reviewed this specific Yamaha soundbar, we're comfortable recommending it given that we're big fans of the Japanese company's similar SR-C30A and SR-B20A. Users also seem to love it for its relatively compact size and simplicity (it's a 5.1 channel configuration with a built-in subwoofer), not to mention its competitive price.

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. The price here includes an extra AU$150 saving at checkout for Prime members.

Receiving a healthy 41% 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.
