Amazon Prime Day is behind us, but the online retail giant still has plenty of solid audio savings on the table so you can slip in and snatch a saving before the EOFY period wraps up for another year.

Industry- and fan-favourites like Sony's WH-1000XM4 over-ear cans and WF-1000XM3 true wireless in-ears are discounted like never before, and Yamaha's revered soundbars – both budget and premium systems – are reduced by an awesome amount too.

There's also some AV receivers severely discounted, and even a great price on one of Australia's favourite portable and rugged Bluetooth speakers – the UE Boom 3.

Below, we've taken a browse through Amazon's finest deals, both those still live from Prime Day and fresh ones that have landed since then, so take a look and pick yourself out a tasty audio treat.

Yamaha's ever-so slightly more affordable and compact successor to the SR-B20A soundbar (discounted to AU$198) somehow manages to improve on this budget marvel and in doing so, presents some serious competition to the significantly more expensive Sonos Beam.

You can currently find the black, blue and Seashell Peach options for just AU$148 at Amazon (with the rest at AU$155), the cheapest we've found on sale at the moment.
