Amazon Prime Day 2024 in Australia: the best TV, headphone and audio deals live on the final day

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 whopping AU$50.

Alexa feels present and useful but not imposing, the Alexa app support makes placement and multi-room configurations a breeze, and the sound quality, while a step down from ideal, easily passes the sound-per-pound value test for a smart speaker of this modest price. Great value for Prime Day.

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 massively cheaper than the XM5s via this Amazon deal, which knocks a huge 55% off the RRP. Also available in white.

If you can afford the extra and want noise-cancelling, these model-up Sonys on the WF-C500 above should be your number one pick. They are certainly ours. The WF-C700N offer 7.5 hours of battery life per charge, multipoint Bluetooth and IPX4 water resistance, plus ANC.

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. They've been down as low as AU$330 during this Prime Day, but this is a great price.

Somehow, the Special Edition Copper Black model of Sennheiser's fourth generation wireless over-ear cans are down to an even lower price, and would therefore be our outright pick. You're getting the exact same excellent sound quality as the non-Special model, just in a slightly more elegant looking package.

If you prefer your Sennheiser Momentum 4s to be of the true wireless in-ear variety, then this 41% saving is for you. We gave them a glowing five-star review, praising them for their detailed and dynamic sound, while also finding them incredibly comfortable to wear. A true contender in their class.

If you're ok with Moonstone Blue finish, this is a great time to snap up Bose's flagship in-ear buds (other colours are available for AU$369). Ticking all the major boxes of comfort, noise-cancellation and sound quality, there's very little to fault them on... other than, perhaps, their battery life.

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 in Black, White, Diamond and Sandstone with an additional AU$30 that you can redeem by checking the little box.

We have seen them go lower and while this price now sees them compete with the likes of Bose, Sony and Sennheiser, the Shure Aonic 40 are still a great set. 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 there's big savings to be had on the black colourway too.

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.

If you're an Apple user, the AirPods Pro 2 makes a lot of sense. Serving up a comfortable fit, great sound and decent noise-cancellation, not to mention seamless connectivity. There's plenty that will appeal besides the generous discount.

Decent sound, innovative Apple-centric features, spatial audio support and Pro-inspired redesign with shorter stems – but no ANC. The AirPods 3 with the MagSafe charging case are a good choice for iPhone users, though note that they have now been replaced by the brand-new AU$299 AirPods 4 with ANC.

The exemplary Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless earbuds sound more detailed, refined and accomplished than ever. They also pack in some of the most extensive features available for the price. We can't think of a rival pair of wireless buds that can touch them, and this discount is more than welcome.

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

These true wireless buds were a bargain at their full launch price, so picking a pair up for half price is something of a no-brainer if you want good sound but are on a super tight budget. These are the cheapest earbuds we can recommend.

Only the white model is available, but if that's ok for you, then this 52% saving on a talented pair of Sennheiser in-ears is one worthy of consideration. They sport ANC and support for aptX Adaptive and we found them to deliver a confident, punchy sound. We also love the amount of control you have over them within the companion app.

While we haven't tested this belt-driven Yamaha turntable ourselves, it does provide an inexpensive route into the world of vinyl. It does have a built-in pre-amp, but if your current amplifier has a phono input, we'd always recommend using that one instead.

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.

Amazon is selling these Yamaha floorstanders individually, but there's a current offer that lets you buy two for AU$700 and we've confirmed it's legitimate. They're a two-way, three-speaker design that promise "rich bass with natural vocals and dialogue." Also, handily, they come with proper support stands included instead of the more common floor spikes. Note that you'll need to add two to your cart to apply the discount.

The smaller siblings to the five-star KEFs above, the Q150 should be great options for smaller rooms – and budgets. They boast the British company's famous UniQ driver and were designed to excel in modest living spaces. You won't find a better Prime Day deal on speakers at this level thanks to this AU$400 discount.

Still one of the best crowd-pleasing speakers you can find, and now more affordable thanks to this early Prime Day deal. We love its fully waterproof design and incredibly portable nature, plus its very decent 360-degree sound. The JBL Flip 6 is better but costs AU$144.

If you like UE's way of doing Bluetooth speakers but want something bigger than the Wonderboom 3 above, the Boom 3 is a fine choice. It's tough and rugged, and fully waterproof. You can also link up multiple Boom 3s to create a full daisy chain of speakers.

The combination of rugged, portable build, easy-to-use features and overall punchy, detailed and engaging sound for this money makes the Award-winning Charge 5 still the portable Bluetooth speaker to beat. Highly recommend.

If you don't need a tough, rugged exterior, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a good choice. It's still waterproof, mind you, 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 colours bar black and green are available for the deal price here.

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$77 (from AU$89.95).

When we tested the 48-inch version of this Sony OLED TV, we said: "Where the A90K is almost flawless is in its picture quality. We’ve never before tested a TV this size that’s this good." That bodes well for this slightly smaller size, which benefits too from an AU$300 discount for Prime Day.

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 pleasing 43% off the usual 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.

Despite being a mid-range set, the Sony X85L delivers a stunning picture thanks to the inclusion of local dimming zones. These help it hugely when it comes to contrast, and thanks to Sony's picture processing tech, you can pretty much forget about experiencing blooming. A terrific TV now at a slightly more affordable price.

When we reviewed the HT-G700, we appreciated its punchy sound, great Atmos support, and impressive build quality. And that was when it cost its original price. Now just under AU$600, this is not just a great soundbar but an excellent deal.

Capable of delivering a wide soundstage with crystal clear vocals, there's much the like with the Bose Soundbar 900. It does good – not quite great – Dolby Atmos, but if you're still loyal to conventional 5.1, then it will certainly improve home movie time.

It's not the biggest discount ever, but the Sony UBPX700 was already a formidable 4K Blu-ray player at its original price, so we'll take whatever saving is applied. It might be a few years old now, but it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and we think for the money it's tough to beat. If you've yet to invest in physical 4K discs, this is a perfect gateway into greater detail and sound.

This is one of the best Samsung Galaxy S24 prices we've seen. The flagship phone serves up a typical-for-Samsung bright and punchy picture, along with excellent camera capabilities and a sound packed with clarity and energy.

We haven't given the 'regular' size iPhone 15 Pro a full review, but we have put the larger Pro Max under the What Hi-Fi? microscope. They share much of the same DNA, save from screen size and camera zoom capability, so you can rest assured the formula that won the Pro Max a 2023 What Hi-Fi? Award, also applies here.
