Amazon's Spring Deal Days sale is now over, but looky here, some deals are still available. But you'd better be quick – there's no telling how long they'll stick around.
Spring Deal Days is basically Prime Day but in the spring. This was the first year Amazon ran it, to go with Prime Day in the summer, Prime Big Deal Days in the autumn and of course Black Friday in November. It saw the usual discounts on Amazon's own Echo speakers and Fire TV Sticks, but there was plenty to see from other retailers too.
They're not daft. Whenever they get wind that Amazon is having a sale, they run one of their own to stay competitive. Which is great news for us punters. With the likes of Peter Tyson, Richer Sounds and Sevenoaks lowering prices, there are deals on all manner of proper AV kit.
The sale ended on 25th March. But some of these deals are still available – see below for the best.
Remember: we only recommend high-quality products, the vast majority of which we've tested ourselves. Where we haven't, we'll make that clear, and explain why we think it's still worth a shot. We also take into account the device's price history, to make sure we're only flagging genuine deals, not those that look great but actually have been bettered before (and likely will be again).

Amazon Spring Deal Days FAQ
What is Amazon Prime?
In order to be eligible for Amazon Spring Deal Days discounts, you need Amazon Prime. This is effectively a membership fee that gives you 'free' unlimited one-day delivery (in select areas) on millions of items bought from Amazon, plus Prime Video and Amazon Music streaming services (but not Amazon Music Unlimited – that costs extra), free ebooks, and the ability to share some of these benefits with others in your household.
Amazon Prime costs £8.99 a month, or £95 if you pay yearly (saving you £12.88 compared to paying monthly). Students pay £4.49 a month or £47.49 a year. Changed your mind? You can cancel your Prime membership on the Manage Prime Membership page. And if you haven't placed a Prime-eligible order or used any of your Prime benefits, you'll be refunded in full.
There's an Amazon Prime free trial, too. Sign up, select 'Start my free trial', and you'll have access to Prime for 30 days with nothing to pay. That means you can sign up, take advantage of the deals, and then cancel your trial before the 30-day period ends and not be charged your second month's fee for Prime. Not that we would condone such behaviour, of course.
In order to be eligible for the trial, you can't have subscribed to Prime in the last 12 months.
What is Amazon Spring Deal Days?
It's basically a spring version of Amazon Prime Day, which takes place in the summer.
Prime Day began in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon's 20th anniversary. While other online retailers get involved in the Black Friday bargain bun fight, Prime Day is generally all about Amazon, though you might see other retailers lowering prices at the same time in order to stay competitive.
Prime Day is a big sale that encompasses most areas of the Amazon site – as well as audio-visual gear, you'll find discounts on toasters, books, clothes, and pretty much anything that Amazon sells. And that's a lot!
Amazon Spring Deal Days took place over six days (20-25th March 2024). It saw a similar raft of deals on similar products.
You'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the offers. Not yet a member? Amazon Prime's free trial gives you the option to sign up, bag a few bargains on Spring Deal Days, and cancel your membership without paying a penny. You scallywag, you.

Amazon Spring Deal Days 2024 secret hacks and tips
1. Sign up for the free Prime trial
If you're new to Amazon Prime, make sure you take advantage of the 30-day free Prime trial. And remember to cancel if you don't want a monthly bill for £8.99 when the trial ends.
2. Google a product before buying
Not every deal is going to be a winner, so make sure you compare prices online before you buy, and, of course, check our reviews to make sure the product is worth buying at all!
3. Big brands can equal big savings
Amazon often slashes the cost of a few big brand items – think PlayStation and Xbox accessories, Samsung TVs and tablets, etc – to get the attention of shoppers. Keep an eye out for these 'marquee' deals.
4. Check the Amazon Warehouse
Returned goods end up on sale at the Amazon Warehouse at a decent discount, so there's a chance you could spot an open-box bargain that beats the box-fresh sales price.
5. Stay tuned to What Hi-Fi.com
Amazon unleashes thousands of deals around Spring Deal Days, which can make it tricky to find genuine bargains on five-star tech and AV. That's why we'll be publishing an up-to-the minute list of the very best Spring Deal Days 2024 deals.
Is Amazon Spring Deal Days only once a year?

What discounts are offered on Amazon Spring Deal Days?
There are plenty of deals on all kinds of devices, including headphones, TVs, Bluetooth speakers, cables, hi-fi and smartphones from big brands like Sony, Samsung, Bose, JBL, Bang & Olufsen, Apple and Sonos.
But beware: not all that glitters is gold. Some discounts might seem hefty, but they might have been bettered previously, or be on sub-par products. We've compiled the best deals above.
What benefits do Prime members get on Amazon Spring Deal Days?
Without Prime, you can't take advantage of the discounts. There are all sorts of other benefits to Prime year round, like early access to 'Lightning deals', Prime Video and Amazon Music streaming, and try before you buy on certain items. Here's a list of more Prime benefits.

Amazon introduced Prime Experiences at Prime Day 2023. These offered UK Prime members the chance to buy "limited-edition, once-in-a-lifetime" experiences during the sales event, including a trip to the set of Neighbours in Australia.
Amazon has made no mention of anything similar for Spring Deal Days. So looks like it's quietly shelved the idea...
