We’re only on day one of Amazon Prime Day in Australia, yet it’s already delivering in a major way where discounts on hi-fi, home cinema and all manner of AV tech are concerned.

Nowhere is that more evident than with headphones. And while there are literally hundreds of pairs to sift through, I’ve found 8 What Hi-Fi? Award-winning pairs — including our current Product of the Year — on sale with discounts of up to 39%.

So, if you want to make sure the pair you buy is going to give you the best possible performance, look no further.

Soundmagic E11C
Save 45% (AU$50)
Soundmagic E11C: was AU$109.99 now AU$59.99 at Amazon

We’ve given these talented in-ears an Award every year since 2018 — they’re just that good. Yes, plenty of new pairs have arrived on the scene since, but none come close to the sheer quality you’re getting here with the E11C, especially at this low price. Five stars

Sony WF-C510
Save 39% (AU$42.95)
Sony WF-C510: was AU$109.95 now AU$67 at Amazon

A multi award-winning pair of in-ears, the Sony WF-C510 delivers where it counts: sound quality. They serve up a rich, full-bodied sound, packed with detail and clarity. We do wish they felt a little more premium where build is concerned, but otherwise these are unrivalled for the money. Five stars

Sony WF-C710N
Save 27% (AU$50.95)
Sony WF-C710N: was AU$189.95 now AU$139 at Amazon

The Sony WF-C710N won an Award in 2025, and they really do have it all – impactful but controlled bass, a great sense of musicality, detail and dynamics in spades, topped off with excellent noise cancellation. Five stars

Technics EAH-AZ100
Save 31% (AU$154)
Technics EAH-AZ100: was AU$499 now AU$345 at Amazon

The 2025 Award-winning Technics ‘buds move up a fair amount in pricepoint, but they reward you with a “wonderfully clear and open sound, with a superb amount of detail”, according to our review. Five stars

Sony WH-CH720N
Save 43% (AU$111.95)
Sony WH-CH720N: was AU$259.95 now AU$148 at Amazon

These Sony over-ears have walked away with an Award every year since 2023. As we said at our most recent ceremony, “There still isn't a pair of cheap, over-ear wireless headphones that can beat the Sony WH-CH720N.” Now they’ve received a 31% discount making them even more affordable, that statement has never been truer. The best price is on the pink pair, while all others come in under AU$180. Five stars

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)
Save 38% (AU$111.35)
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024): was AU$289.95 now AU$178.60 at Amazon

If your budget can’t stretch to the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, this more modestly priced pair of Bose in-ears won’t disappoint. A 2025 Award winner, we said they “display many talents, from their powerful, entertaining sound to their impressive customisation options and solid noise-cancelling skills”. The best price is on the white pair, while all others are around AU$180. Five stars

Sony WH-1000XM4
Save 32% (AU$140)
Sony WH-1000XM4: was AU$439 now AU$299 at Amazon

Sony’s long-in-the-tooth wireless noise-cancelling headphones dominated our Awards for a couple of years following their release, and they’re still great all-rounders. These over-ears sound detailed, dynamic and musical, while battery life, build, comfort and usability are all superb for the money. Five stars

Sony WH-1000XM6
Save 15% (AU$104.95)
Sony WH-1000XM6: was AU$699.95 now AU$595 at Amazon

Our current Product of the Year in the wireless headphones category, the Sony XM6s offer class-leading sound and top-notch noise-cancelling, making them one of the best all-rounders in the business. As we said in our review, they “just seem capable of diving into any track you play and extract an unbelievable amount of information”. Five stars

Apple AirPods Max
Save 22% (AU$200)
Apple AirPods Max: was AU$899 now AU$699 at Amazon

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 AU$200 discount makes these an easier recommendation. Five stars

As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty more pairs of headphones available during the Prime Day Australia sales, alongside a solid selection of hi-fi components and Bluetooth speakers.

Remember, the majority of these deals are likely to come to an end when Prime Day finishes at 11.59pm on Monday, July 13. You’ll also need to be a Prime member to nab most of them. If you’ve not been a member before, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial.
