Summer is just around the corner, but for now, spring is very much in full swing. In the spirit of the season, you may have been considering freshening up your audio set-up, be it through a new pair of speakers or just replacing the worn-out earpads on your favourite pair of headphones. 

Happily, we've got you covered. In celebration of the start of the happiest month of the year (probably), many retailers are launching sales events as the bank holiday(s) approaches. Richer Sounds, for instance, is treating customers to its "May Day Payday Bonanza", but there are many diverse outlets across the web slashing prices in a bid to entice buyers with some juicy deals. 

There are discounts on dozens of items from the world of hi-fi, but we've selected the choice cuts so that you don't have to go through the hassle of scrolling through page after page looking for a bargain. Let's get to it!

The B&W 606 S3 haven't been on the market for long, so a discount of a full ton comes as a very welcome surprise. Beautifully made with a sound that comes equipped with weight, punch, clarity and detail, the 606 S3 are a very fine pair of Bowers towers.

Audio Pro Addon C3 was £249 now £112 at Audio Pro (save £127)
Products that seem to be perpetually discounted should normally send alarm bells ringing, but the five-star Audio Pro Addon C3 is an excellent portable speaker and earned a five-star review, impressing us with the level of finesse it delivers for such a small unit. Now it's available for the cheapest it has been in months – could this be one of your last chances to pick one up on the cheap?

The Award-winning B&W 607 S3 standmounts are articulate, clear and open, with a delightful sound that really can't be beaten at this price.

Sonos Move was £399 now £269 at Richer Sounds (save £130)
A great (semi) portable speaker choice for fans of Sonos (and there are quite a few), the original Sonos Move remains a hugely popular speaker at this level.

Cambridge Audio CXA81 was £899 now £799 at Richer Sounds (save £100)
Another fantastic piece of hi-fi gear courtesy of the good folks at Cambridge Audio, the CXA81 is a sublimely balanced and nimble performer that, combined with great sound and a lovely build, earned a five-star review after some time in our test rooms. We saw the Cambridge Audio CXA81 drop by £200 during the Black Friday sales, but £100 off (when you sign up for a free Richer Sounds VIP membership) is hardly a bad deal.
