Afterpay Day 2025: the best tech deals live on day 1

We rate the WF-C510 as one of the best pairs of budget earbuds you can buy, as they deliver a lively, engaging sound, with good passive noise isolation, all in a comfortable, compact design.

First things first, this isn't the Pro set of Galaxy earbuds. Think of them as the equivalent to the Apple AirPods 4. They're still excellent, though, offering excellent battery life, good noise cancellation and they even support live translation features when paired to a compatible Galaxy smartphone.

We have seen this Bose speaker go quite a lot lower in price, so it's a bit of a shame it hasn't received such a great discount for Afterpay Day. Still, we think even at full price it's worth it, as it serves up a sound far bigger than its size would suggest. It's waterproof and dustproof too. To get the deal price here, make sure to generate a unique Bose coupon code.

A regular feature in all our deals round ups, the Sony XM4s still more than hold their own in a crowded space, despite being close to 5 years old. They're comfortable, sound fantastic, and benefit from very capable ANC.

Not the lowest price we've seen, but this is still a great saving on the XM5 over-ears. Packed with incredible sound quality, great noise-cancelling and a superb range of features, they're a fantastic pair of cans if your budget can't stretch to the newer XM6s.

Arguably one of the best headphones we've tested with Dolby Atmos support, the Sonos Ace is also one of the better-looking and more comfortable cans. If you've been eying them for a while, there's a decent saving when shopping at the Big W Marketplace. Also available in black.

This JBL speaker sits on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers for its ability to double up as a powerbank to charge your devices. It helps that it sounds phenomenal, has a decent 20-hour battery life and is built to withstand the elements.

These earbuds might seem too cheap to be any good, but rest assured we've given them a listen and can confidently vouch for the performance you're getting for such a low price. Great ANC, great sound and a comfortable fit.

Utilising TCL’s latest QD mini-LED technology, the C7K is a premium yet affordable TV that should suit most Australian homes. High brightness, vibrant colours and deep blacks promise to elevate your home movie nights, while a built-in Bang & Olufsen speaker system could make you think twice about investing in a soundbar.

We haven't reviewed the C8K just yet, but our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? have recently given it a glowing five-star review, claiming it to be "one of TCL's most exciting TVs yet". For the money, you get excellent brightness, superb colours and backlight control and, as is now practically customary for a TCL TV, incredible value for money – especially with a discount.

The Q990F is the best Dolby Atmos soundbar system around. It gets a more compact subwoofer compared to its predecessor, and is capable of delivering even greater low end weight, combined with a soundbar and speakers delivering clear, powerful audio in an 11.1.4-channel setup. Also available from The Good Guys for AU$1,435.

Offering the best of both worlds – laptop and tablet – this 2-in-1 HP Spectre x360 is a truly powerful device, rocking a 14-inch OLED touch display, 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM, alongside an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.

This is a ripper of a deal for this recently launched laptop. For under AU$2,000, the Slim 7i Aura features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a 15.3-inch 2800 x 1800 touchscreen display and future proofed features like Wi-Fi 7, as well as a face recognition webcam.

This isn't quite the lowest price we've seen for the HP Victus 16, but AU$1,699 is still a good deal. For a bigger screen laptop with RTX 4070 GPU and 32GB RAM, you can conquer all quests with this HP, no matter whether you game or not.

It's coming up to its second birthday, but the iPhone 15 is plenty powerful enough for most people. It benefits from Apple's A15 Bionic chip, it adopts the Dynamic Island design and its cameras take great photos. This discount brings it to within touching distance of the newer iPhone 16e, but we reckon the 15 is the better buy.

It's a similar situation if you do want a newer device, with the iPhone 16 also getting a healthy discount at The Good Guys. With this one, you get the more powerful A18 chip, along with the customary upgraded cameras. It's also available in an attractive set of colours, if you want to inject some personality into your device.

Alternatively, if you want the (current) latest and and greatest iPhone, the 16 Pro Max is for you. Adopting a much larger display, a highly capable triple camera system and more power than you'll know what to do with, it's the ultimate smartphone.

The iPhone 16 Pro – offering the same power in a smaller frame – is also down to AU$1,529.

We still think this is one of the best tablets you can buy, as it offers everything you realistically need and nothing you don't. If you're looking to replace a laptop with a tablet, this wouldn't be the it, but for casual usage – think reading news, watching videos – there's nothing better.

We gave this talented robot vacuum 4.5 stars in our Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni review, praising it for its excellent mapping and navigation technology, compact design and, of course, its cleaning and mopping powers.

If you're looking to spend as little as possible on a new vacuum cleaner, but you also want something that's going to actually perform, this model from Shark is tough to beat. It offers powerful suction and a self-cleaning brush roll, and the nozzle has LED lights that'll reveal any hidden dust and debris as you vacuum.

A great price for what we consider to be an excellent stick vacuum cleaner. Not only does it clean carpets and hard floors, but it also has a mopping head for deeper cleaning. Battery life is also decent at 60 minutes. If you want more attachments, you can get the Complete model from Dyson for an extra AU$104.

We said in our De'Longhi La Specialista Touch review that this is "one of the best espresso machines you can buy" thanks to its compact dimensions, great looks and the fact it's semi-automatic, meaning you can have as much, or as little, input into your coffee as you'd like. The best part? No matter which route you choose, you'll be rewarded with a delicious coffee and expertly-frothed milk.

It's not the lowest price we've ever seen, but it's still a good saving on what we consider to be the best Nespresso machine out there thanks to its use of the Vertuo pods. They come in a range of cup and mug sizes and an integrated milk frother. It performs exceptionally well, too, and will brew your morning cuppa in no time at all.

This attractive bean-to-cup espresso machine for Aussie brand Sunbeam makes a fine addition to any kitchen. It can extract a wonderful shot of epsresso, but its headline feature is a thermometer built into the steam wand and four temp settings for various dairy milk alternatives. It also sports a built-in conical burr grinder for precision grinding, and it also has easy, one-button cleaning. To get the best price, make sure to hit the 'price beat' button right under the price on The Good Guys website.

A good price here on Dyson's intelligent hair dryer, which is designed to dry your hair faster and without the possibility of heat damage thanks to its new Scalp Protect mode. Also available from Dyson with a complimentary paddle brush and pre-style cream.

The Dyson Airwrap does pretty much everything you'd expect from a multi-styler. It curls, it smoothes, it shapes, and it dries — all without the risk of major heat damage to your hair. And now, the Complete Long edition of the styler is now down to just AU$565 from the maker itself.
