Amazon Big Deal Days hi-fi deals live: all the top headphone, vinyl and speaker savings picked by our experts
If you need new headphones, speakers, stereo amps or a turntable, but don’t fancy paying full price, then you’re in the right place
The WiiM Amp Pro is a really good price and ideal choice for hi-fi newbies
Just add speakers systems are a great entry point to hi-fi that we often point newbies towards. This is because they offer a convenient all in one solution, with the added flexibility of being able to pick which speakers you want.
That means you can upgrade or tweak your setup as you go and is a gentle entry point to the world of separates where matching is much more intimidating and complex.
And if that sounds appealing, then we have some good news: the recommended affordable option in our best hi-fi systems guide, the WiiM Amp Pro is down to £320 on Amazon (£80 off its regular price).
Though we gave it four-stars, trust us when we say this is the best option you’ll find for less than £500. We know, because we’ve tried and failed to find anything better.
Just make sure to match them with some price appropriate speakers. We’d recommend something akin to the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 or recently reviewed, five-star Dali Kupid, if you’re short on space.
A pair of earbuds from a British hi-fi legend
Headphone deals are coming in fast but for now, we've not spotted any truly amazing ones on a big name, five-star player. Instead the top saving we've spotted is on the four-star Cambridge Audio Melomania M100.
Though they still aren't class leading, for the money they're a very solid option right now. This is especially true if you want a balanced all rounder capable of delivering a balanced, clean and spacious sound, but don't want to spend more than £100.
As we said in our review: "The Melomania M100 are well-designed wireless earbuds with fun and flagship-bothering features that are worth considering at this price."

A quick tip
The truth is, Amazon shopping events always bring a lot of bogus deals. Why bogus? There’s two main reasons.
First, because the price isn’t always the best its ever been. That’s why we check the recent price history of any “deal” before we recommend it. Second, and more relevant for the purposes of this tip, because there are some audio products that aren’t worth your money no matter how heavily discounted they are.
Which is why we always recommend going into any shopping event with a clear hitlist of products you’ve already shortlisted and done your research. The best way to do this is to start off with one of our buying guides. These are pages we constantly update with our up to date buying advice on all the products we’ve tested in any given category.
So looking there you’ll find a nice, quick list of options we’ve fully reviewed and recommend even when they’re not on deal. To help make it even easier, we’ve included a link to some of the big ones we think you’ll find helpful.
