Amazon Prime Day 2025 in Australia: this year's best deals on headphones, hi-fi gear, home cinema and more

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. These are one of the cheapest sets of earbuds we're comfortable recommending.

As the winner of a What Hi-Fi? 2024 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.

If you can afford the extra and want noise-cancelling, these model-up Sonys on the WF-C500 above are a fantastic pick, earning 5 stars in our 2024 WF-C700N review. These deliver sensational sound quality and offer 7.5 hours of battery life per charge, multipoint Bluetooth and IPX4 water resistance, plus ANC. Also available in black for AU$100.

Sony's LinkBuds S are its alternative flagship wireless in-ears, and they're both smaller and lighter than their WF-1000XM5 counterparts, so they're more comfortable to wear, particularly for long periods. As we noted in our 4-star LinkBuds S review, they're still water resistant and offer both good audio quality and noise-reduction. They're also currently hugely cheaper than the XM5s via this Amazon deal, which knocks an impressive 55% off the RRP. Only available in black with this discount.

There's a heap of Sennheiser gear on special for Prime Day, but even in that crowd this deal on the most underrated wireless earbuds in town stands out. The Momentum True Wireless 4 offer such sonic refinement and comfort that they're a serious alternative to the top-class Sony XM5 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and this discount makes them substantially cheaper than either. We've only seen them cost less once before, and that was only by AU$5. Five stars

This massive discount on the Sennheiser IE 600 brings them to a new all-time low Australian price, making them a great option for anyone wanting to invest in a quality set of wired in-ear monitors. If you listen to music via a PC or smartphone with an external DAC, then these will unearth plenty of detail, and are highly capable of reproducing all the frequency ranges with gusto.

Hitting a new all-time Australian low price for Prime Day, Sennheiser's mid-range wireless noise-cancellers frankly aren't all that competitive at their RRP, but at 64% off we cannot argue with the value on offer. Though they lack a little when it comes to dynamic punch, the sound is clean and clear, and they have impressive ANC and a 50-hour battery life. What's more, this Special Edition pair comes with a free USB Bluetooth adaptor.

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 (and well-regarded) mainstream 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.

The price on this impressive set of over-ears from Shure has dropped a further AU$47 dollars since Prime Day started, meaning they significantly undercut deals from Bose, Sony and Sennheiser. That makes the Shure Aonic 40 very easy to recommend. They boast more advanced noise cancellation than the Aonic 50, and 25 hours of battery life. You're also able to fine-tune the sound output thanks to a customisable equaliser. This discount is for the white model but the black colourway is currently also reduced to the same price.

The fourth outing of Sennheiser's Momentum Wireless range of over-ears is nothing short of spectacular. They deliver effective ANC, coupled with a clean and musical sound, which you'll be able to listen to for an incredible 60 hours... far more than their closest competitors elsewhere on this page. This price is a new all-time low, and frankly an amazing bargain for a set of cans that can go head-to-head with Sony and Bose. Also available in graphite for AU$256.50, the SE edition for AU$265, as well as black and white for AU$258.40.

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. Now discounted to around AU$370 across the Black, White, Diamond and Blue colourways.

While Sony's brand-new XM6 over-ears landed a few months ago, their predecessors are still an excellent Award-winning set. As we noted in our WH-1000XM5 review, "If you are looking for a new pair of wireless noise-cancelling headphones, your auditioning should start here." Packed with incredible sound quality, great noise-cancelling and a superb range of features. Note that this deal is for the soft-case version, while the full-price model comes with a hard case that's a bit bigger but arguably offers better protection.

Already pretty affordable, and now even more so thanks to this 42% discount on the JBL Clip 4 – which sees it becoming an even more appealing option for anyone looking for an ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker who size of sound belies its small form factor. It's fully waterproof and a built-in carabiner clip means you can attach it to almost anything. Want the newer model? The JBL Clip 5 is down to AU$67 (from AU$89.95).

With top-notch sound and a durable waterproof build designed to withstand life's mishaps and challenges, the JBL Flip 6 is a sturdy, reliable bit of kit for enjoying tunes on the go. While its newer Flip 7 sibling does offer some improvements, this deal more than makes up for the price difference; the Flip 7 carries an RRP of AU$179.95, and despite its age, this older model still thoroughly impresses. Five stars

While it's technically been superseded by the newer Charge 6, we still love the Charge 5's combination of ruggedness, portability, easy-to-use features and overall punchy, detailed and engaging sound, not to mention how good-value it is. For this money, the Award-winning Charge 5 still one of the top portable Bluetooth speakers you can buy. Highly recommend.

If you like UE's way of doing Bluetooth speakers the Boom 3 is a fine choice for a medium-sized model. It's tough and rugged, and fully waterproof. You can also link up multiple Boom 3s to create a full daisy chain of speakers. Three colours are discounted for Prime Day, with blue being the cheapest, but you can also nab black or purple for around the same AU$130 mark.

If you don't need a 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. All six colours are available but Sandstone, Blue and Alpine are AU$159.

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 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.

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). 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. The deal price here is thanks to an extra AU$15 saving at checkout.

Anker's pint-sized Nebula Capsule projectors are a favourite among both reviewers and users. The Capsule 3 is limited in brightness and we found it a bit expensive, but this discount certainly helps the latter. It's very user-friendly and runs Google TV for the OS, meaning there's wide support for streaming platforms via their official apps. This deal knocks a tidy 50% off the usual price.

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 2025 – and this AU$70 discount makes it even easier to recommend. While it has been a smidge cheaper (it was AU$169 for Boxing Day, for example), this is still a great price for a well-built 'bar that will improve your TV's sound with minimum hassle.

We awarded the Ambeo Plus a full five stars, praising it for delivering its "astonishing ability to fill a room with sound" and the fact it can handle Atmos soundtracks well. It's impeccably built, too, and offers a broad range of features. We would've loved if its two HDMI inputs were of the 2.1 variety, but as producer of sound first and foremost, it's tricky to fault. Also available from Sennheiser for the same price.

We were a little disappointed Sennheiser's smallest soundbar didn't quite live up to the benchmark set by its larger Plus and Max siblings, but at this price, it presents itself as much greater value.

While this deal is shy of the Echo Pop's all time low of AU$29 (back at Black Friday last year), this is still a respectable discount if you're looking to try out a smart speaker without forking out too much. As the cheaper, more colourful alternative to the Echo Dot, the Pop is built for smaller rooms, and has Alexa onboard for all the usual smart home tricks.

The 5th-generation Echo Dot is a great smart speaker with impressive connectivity and streaming capabilities, and considering the size of its driver, its sound output is surprisingly robust. At this AU$43 discount, it definitely delivers excellent bang for buck. This black colourway offers the biggest discount, but it's also available in blue and white for AU$8 more.

Want all the Alexa smart speaker features with the added bonus of a video screen? Of course you do. The latest Echo Show 5 is a five-star Echo speaker with a display, and is now reduced by a healthy 33%.

This Sony turntable is as fuss-free as they come concerning setup and getting your favourite vinyl records spinning. 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. It's been slightly cheaper on Amazon previously (it was AU$295 in March, for example) but this is still a worthwhile deal for a quality deck.

Want to go down the passive speaker route instead? The KEF LS50 Meta speakers will gift you a glorious, insightful sound. They've won multiple awards from us, thanks to their innovative technology and exceptional transparency. Just note, you'll want to place them on dedicated stands to get the most out of them.

A 2023 What Hi-Fi? 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 on 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. The space grey colourway is the cheapest, but you can also nab it in silver for AU$399.20.

This five-star streamer is a joy to look at and to use. It offers a healthy selection of physical connections including HDMI and a phono stage, alongside the streaming capabilities that have made the brand famous. Sound quality is excellent, too, and you'll no doubt want to endlessly scroll through your various libraries to rediscover old favourites.
