Our senior staff writer Harry McKerrell loves a good pair of headphones, be it wired or wireless. The best Prime Day deals this year are on wireless earbuds and headphones, and he’s handpicked his favourite ones – and they’re all under £150 too.
His choices span budget models to the best noise-cancelling ones and are divvied up according to price and type, with huge discounts on B&W, Rode and Sony models, some of which are five-star Award-winners too!
Check out his recommendations here: I’ve tested dozens of headphones – these are the 6 best Prime Day headphones deals I recommend for under £150

6 astonishingly good hi-fi speaker deals
(Image credit: Generated with Nano Banana 2 Pro)
There aren’t a huge number of hi-fi deals around this week, but our deputy editor Andy Madden has managed to find 6 great deals on stellar hi-fi speakers.
These include huge savings on floorstanders from Bowers & Wilkins, Focal and Wharfedale, and money off KEF’s LSX II wireless speaker system. They’re not the cheapest deals this Prime Day, but £500 to 50% discounts on premium to high-end speakers is pretty compelling.
You can check out Andy’s full list of deals here: Hi-fi speaker deals are thin on the ground this Prime Day, but I’ve tracked down 6 of the best worth a closer look
And I’ve picked my three favourites below:

Sony’s automatic turntable is ideal for vinyl newbies – save over £90 in this Prime Day deal
(Image credit: What Hi-Fi?)
We only tested Sony’s new fully automatic Bluetooth turntable a couple of months ago, and the PS-LX5BT nabbed a full five stars for its seamless usability, excellent plug-and-play feature set, and enjoyable, capable sound for the price.
It’s now enjoying a Prime Day deal, with the price slashed from £399 to £307 at Amazon now.
The Sony LX5 turntable comes equipped with a phono stage so you can plug it straight into a pair of powered speakers (such as the Ruark MR1 Mk3 or Onkyo GX-30ARC) or you can plug in wireless headphones to enjoy your vinyl records without the burden of wires, or listen late into the night. It’s a step-up model from the budget LX3BT with a better cartridge, mat and finish quality.
For the price, it’s hard to overstate just how organised, detailed and rhythmically capable the Sony is. It sounds open and musically cohesive too.
So if you’re looking to step into the vinyl waters and want an easy but excellent-sounding turntable to start with, this Sony is a great place to begin.

Our favourite budget streamer is just £175
(Image credit: What Hi-Fi?)
If you’ve got an ageing hi-fi system that needs a fresh injection of 21st century streaming features, then this small but powerful WiiM Pro Plus streamer is what you need.
It has pretty much every streaming platform to appeal to a wider audience – Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect – and you can connect to it using Bluetooth, Google Cast, AirPlay and wi-fi. Hi-res streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz is supported, and its compact form can fit into any small space.
Add to that a very streamlined and intuitive app interface, easy set up, and you’ve got a small streaming wonder. No wonder it’s nabbed two What Hi-Fi? Award wins in a row. It’s great value at full price, and it’s now even better value with this Prime Day deal bringing the price down to £175 at Amazon right now. Don’t miss out!

Looking for a great AirPods deal? We have two for you
(Image credit: What Hi-Fi?)
If you’re an Apple user, you’ll probably be hunting down AirPods deals every time a sales event like Prime Day comes around.
And it hasn’t disappointed this year: the excellent, five-star premium AirPods Pro 3 wireless earbuds are down to their lowest-ever price of £175 at Amazon. That’s a solid 20% saving on Apple’s best-sounding AirPods yet, with improved noise-cancelling and plenty of additional features (including hearing test and live translation) thrown into the mix.
But if you’re not fussed about all the features, prefer an eartip-less design and have a tighter budget? Then the standard AirPods 4 with their ‘open’ design might be just up your street – they’re the cheapest way to get the AirPods experience, and can be yours for £80 with a Prime membership.

Save £300 on Q Acoustics five-star floorstanders!

There are some excellent speaker deals going around – but you won’t find these tempting discounts on Amazon.
For hi-fi floorstanders, head to the specialist retailers, where you’ll be able to snap up a stunning deal, such as £300 off Award-winning Q Acoustics 5050 floorstanders. These speakers deliver a wonderfully clear and detailed sound with an open, spacious presentation, and are able to fill a larger room with ease. Just take care to partner them carefully to get the very best out of them.
Interested? They’re yours at their lowest-ever price of £999 at Sevenoaks, Richer Sounds and Peter Tyson right now.

Cambridge Audio hi-fi starter duo: £100 saving on stereo amp and CD player
(Image credit: Cambridge Audio)
Let’s pivot to hi-fi. Cambridge Audio is running Prime Day deals across a bunch of their products, but the best ones are on a stereo amplifier and CD player that’s ideal as a hi-fi starter pack.
The five-star AXA35 is a great budget stereo amplifier to get you started on your hi-fi journey. It’s a slim, nice-looking unit that features multiple analogue RCA line level inputs, a moving magnet phono stage to plug a turntable into, and a headphone socket. And it’s currently down to £299 at Amazon and Richer Sounds – that’s £50 off the full price.
Add the matching AXC35 CD player to it, which features the same sleek look and has a disc mechanism that runs smooth. It’s also enjoying a £50 discount at Amazon and Richer Sounds.
Combined, you get a nicely detailed, engaging and dynamic sound that’s confident and lively – with £100 off the pairing.

The best budget Sony ANC headphones drop under £60
(Image credit: What Hi-Fi?)
We’ll kick off with one of the best budget deals around. The Award-winning Sony WH-CH720N wireless headphones are some of the best cheap headphones with ANC we’ve ever tested, and they continue to lead the pack – even beating out new rivals when it comes to sound performance.
Yes, the build is basic but robust, and they don’t have too many fancy features, but they get one thing right: sound quality. They are punchy, rhythmically and dynamically capable, and have plenty of detail that brings out textures and insights from instruments and voices – headphones costing under £100 have no business being this good.
The ANC effect is pretty great for the price too, and the over-ears are comfortable to wear. They were fantastic value at full price, but you can snap them up for as low as £60 at Amazon in this Prime Day deal.

Everyone in the team is on hand to help hunt down deals and let you know if they’re worth it or not, so meet the people who will be running this live hub:
Kashfia Kabir
Hi-fi and Audio Editor
I run our hi-fi and audio section, and have spent over 14 years at What Hi-Fi? reviewing everything from premium turntables and stereo amplifiers to affordable DACs and speakers. Armed with plenty of advice, experience, and a desire to ensure everyone gets the ideal product for their needs and system, I will be able to tell you whether a Prime Day hi-fi deal is worth the plunge or not – and recommend better alternatives for better value.

I’ve been working on What Hi-Fi? for the best part of two decades and have reviewed and written about everything you can think of, from soundbars to stereo speakers to wireless headphones. I have tested multiple generations of some of the biggest products on the market, so I’m in the perfect position to tell you whether a deal is worth snapping up or sitting on until it drops to a lower price.

I’ve been at What Hi-Fi? for almost four years, and in that time I’ve tested, rated and reviewed an absolute mountain of audio products, from turntables and wired headphones to Bluetooth speakers and wireless earbuds. I’ve also spent a lot of time hunting out the best deals possible, either throughout the year or during major sales events such as Black Friday and, of course, Amazon Prime Day. I’m no stranger to spotting a chunky discount, but more importantly, my extensive audio experience puts me in the best possible position to let you know whether a potential deal is a doozy or a dud. Deals abound for Prime Day, just remember that old saying: all that glitters is not gold.
Daniel Furn
Staff Writer, Deals
As What Hi-Fi?’s resident deals writer, I spend my days tracking prices, hunting for discounts and bringing standout offers to your attention. I’ve covered Prime Day and other major sales events since 2020, and am here to help you cut through the noise to find the best prices on products What Hi-Fi? recommend after their rigorous review process. I’ve found and shared hundreds of deals on headphones, wireless speakers, hi-fi separates, and more during my time here, and am looking forward to helping highlight genuine bargains and finding products that deliver the best performance for your budget.
A recent addition to the What Hi-Fi team, I come from a background in recording studios, where I often spent Prime Day scouring the internet for the best new deals on audio equipment. This year, I’ll be keeping an eye out for discounts on the What Hi-Fi? team’s favourite products, and finding any unexpected bargains that pop up along the way, highlighting the deals that are worth your money.
