It's the day after the Prime Big Deal Days sale and while the onslaught of Amazon deals has officially ended there are still some bargains.

Somewhat reassuringly, many of the best Prime deals have now ended and prices have gone back up – it would be frustrating if this weren't the case, after all.

But, while I double-checked the deals, I spotted some low prices that have remained at Amazon and some other specialist retailers.

Headphones and wireless earbuds deals have featured heavily but there have also been great discounts on hi-fi and home cinema products, including Dolby Atmos soundbars, OLED TVs, speakers and streamers, both at Amazon and independent specialist retailers.

I've picked out the following deals based on the What Hi-Fi? test team's choice of the best genuine deals on some of our highest-rated products.

The best Prime Day AV deals still available

Samsung HW-Q990D was £1699 now £579 at Richer Sounds (save £1120) via cashback
Our favourite Dolby Atmos soundbar system, the Samsung HW-Q990D is what our expert reviews team called "a hugely compelling package overall" thanks to its big, immersive and three-dimensional sound. It is not only a superb choice for movie enthusiasts but also gamers courtesy of its twin 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 inputs. Getting this price involves claiming cashback. You pay £979 upfront, then put in a cashback claim for £400 (maybe even £500) with Samsung. T&Cs here.

Get this one if: you just want better sound from your TV

The Sonos Ray hit an unexpectedly new lowest price this Prime Day, making it the obvious one to buy if you want a cheap and cheerful upgrade and an intro to the Sonos system.

Available in black or white, the Ray measures just 56cm in width, meaning it is best suited to smaller TVs or even as a desktop speaker with a monitor.

The best Amazon Prime Day deals under £50

If you don't want to spend a fortune but do fancy something shiny and new to drop through your letterbox, you could do a lot worse than the following selection of serious bargains.

Our previous favourite streaming deal saw the Fire TV Stick drop to just £17 – unfortunately, that deal has just sold out. Fear not, as the step-up model which unlocks 4K streaming, Dolby Atmos HDR and a faster chipset is also on sale, so don't hesitate to snap up this streamer if you missed the previous Fire sale. We've not reviewed this latest model yet, but we did award the last generation Fire TV Stick 4K five stars, so the likelihood that this is an equally talented streamer is reasonably high.

These Award-winning earbuds have just been replaced by a new WF-C510 variant, but that doesn't mean they should be overlooked this Prime Day. At just £35, they're less than half the price we originally tested them at, making them an absolute steal. Expect a comfortable fit, compact size and a "spirited, well-balanced sound". You don't get active noise cancelling with these models, but for £35 can you really complain?
Five stars – Award-winner

We're cutting it slightly close to the price boundary here, but the five-star Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is a bargain Bluetooth speaker in its own right, so an even lower price is worth celebrating. At just £48 (£12 lower than the price when we reviewed it) the Stormbox Micro 2 is a feature-packed, compact and enjoyable-sounding portable speaker – and its rugged design means it's an ideal companion for the great outdoors.

This better-than-half-price saving on Amazon's compact smart speaker is an ideal entry point into the world of Alexa-powered smart home peripherals. It also happens to sound great for the price, with an expansive and dynamic performance that caught us off guard in our full review. Better yet, Amazon is offering a range of smart home starter kits featuring this speaker, including a smart plug bundle or a Philips Hue lightbulb bundle.

Amazon's budget tablet was already a bargain when we reviewed it at £60 as it managed to hold its own in a world of iPads that cost five times as much as the plucky Fire 7. Of course, Amazon has heavily discounted its own hardware for its savings event, and it's hard to argue with a fully-fledged tablet for £30, especially when it's an Award winner. This model features ads on the lock screen, though you can pay an additional £10 to remove them if you so desire.

Technics SA-C600 CD/streaming system

Technics is on a great run at the moment. The brand had a bit of a rocky start when it was reintroduced into the market in 2014, but since then has quickly found its feet. Over recent years we’ve reviewed a fair number of the company’s products and they’ve invariably been solid and talented performers. Not all have been class leaders, of course, but more often than not Technics hits gold – as it has with the SA-C600 system we have on test here. We call it a system, but you still need to add a pair of speakers.

Usually, such systems are all about looks and features but Technics has shown that it is possible to add great sound into the mix. It is a really well-conceived product and fully deserves the What Hi-Fi? Awards wins that have followed. Highly recommended.

Technics SA-C600 was £899, now £789 at Peter Tyson (save £110)
There isn’t much the Technics SA-C600 system can’t do. It will play your CDs, stream music from your favourite service, play vinyl from a connected turntable, and it has a 30W per channel amplifier inside so all you need to do is plug in a pair of speakers and you're good to go. It looks and feels elegant, and sounds even better. A charming, entertaining, talented hi-fi system.

Looking for a really good, genuinely affordable turntable with awesome features? Then look no more, as the five-star Sony PS-LX310BT – our favourite Bluetooth turntable – has reached its lowest price yet at Amazon.

Be warned that this Sony turntable deal never lasts long, so you had better hurry and snap up this terrific deal on an entertaining, fuss-free deck before midnight strikes!

Ultimate OLED TV deals

The 42-inch LG C4 is the smallest size in the tech giant’s current step down line of OLED TVs. It’s also a direct successor to the LG C3, a What Hi-Fi? Award-winner that up until now has been the small OLED we recommend to most people.

Does it live up to its predecessor’s legacy? Thankfully, after putting it through its paces in our review labs we’re happy to confirm the 42-inch LG C4 is a fantastic OLED TV for those short on space.

And it has been sliced in price this Prime Day. Various retailers are offering a cut-price deal but right now the biggest saving is a £530 saving at Amazon.

Looking for a pair of truly affordable noise-cancelling wireless headphones? These Sennheiser HD 450BT headphones might be a few years old now, but we're still rather fond of these well-made, foldable, punchy and smooth-sounding cans. And their price has just plunged to £85 at Amazon.

We saw these four-star cans drop to £99 during last year's Black Friday sales, but this is the new lowest price we've seen all year – and it's an absolute budget bargain.

Super-cheap five-star TV!

Our favourite cheap TV is sitting at its cheapest-ever price. The last time we saw it this low was back in July. The TV in question is the 50-inch version of Amazon's Fire TV Omni QLED, which can be yours for just £380 at Amazon. That's a whopping saving of £270 (42 per cent) on the full price of £650.

You will regularly find discounts on Amazon's TVs – in fact, the discounts are so common that we strongly advise against anyone paying full price – but this is a particularly tempting offer which deserves to be brought to wider attention.

Dolby Atmos soundbar system

If you’re looking for a compact, cost-effective way to add Dolby Atmos to your home cinema setup, look no further: retailers have slashed the price of the JBL Bar 1300.

The deal is still live and lets you pick up the Dolby Atmos soundbar package for £899, a huge £400 saving on its regular £1299 price.

Sennheiser's wired headphones are some of the most respected and accomplished models for stunningly detailed, composed and spacious sound. If that sounds like you, you're in luck: the superb HD 820 wired headphones have a massive £550 off right now.

We originally reviewed these high-end closed-back headphones at £1999, but the HD 820 can be yours for just £1249 at Sevenoaks. If your home audio system needs an upgrade and you have been eyeing-up these premium Sennheiser cans for a while, now could be the right time to pounce.

Two special Sony savings

We feel like we've talked about Sony a lot this Prime Day but they do make great products and there are a lot of them, so it's only natural they they also go on sale. If you're still in the market for a premium pair of wireless earbuds or an affordable turntable, you couldn't do much better than these two deals below.
