If like me you prefer the nicer things in life, you'll be painfully aware that 'nicer' often means 'more expensive' too – so if you've been looking for discounts on five-star speakers, headphones or earbuds, you've come to the right place.

Check out all the Prime Day deals here

From high-end headphones to IEMs that punch way above their price tag, smart speakers and party speakers too, each one of the deals here concerns an audio product that we've reviewed and given the full five stars to.

These aren't the only Amazon Prime Day deals we've discovered, of course. But they're genuine discounts on products we'd buy with our own money, including some of our very favorite noise-cancelling over-ears and earbuds, portable speakers and IEMs. That means we'd recommend them at any price, so getting them for less simply sweetens the deal.

Amazon Prime Day five-star audio deals in the US

Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC over-ear headphones
Save $155
Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC over-ear headphones: was $348 now $193 at Amazon

With a massive 45% off this is definitely a deal to grab: the WH-1000XM4 are still the best over-ear headphones for most people thanks to their sound quality, noise cancelling, comfort and now, their price tag too.

Nothing Ear (a)
Nothing Ear (a): was $109 now $69 at Amazon

In our five-star Nothing Ear (a) review, we lauded these buds for their zealous, expansive sound, brilliant ANC, and highly compact design. It's hard to believe that these are on sale for less than $70 this Prime Day – that's how good they are.

JBL Flip 7
JBL Flip 7: was $219.95 now $149.99 at Amazon

We love JBL's portable party speaker, especially in its louder color options, and this excellent deal applies equally to the sober and searingly bright color options. With IP68 waterproofing, AI sound boost and a sixteen-hour battery this is a great outdoor speaker.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones
Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones: was $399.99 now $298 at Amazon

If you would prefer newer tech, then you can get these class-leading Sony WH-1000XM5 for over $100 off at Amazon. Given how good the older XM4 model is, you won't be surprised to discover that the XM5 is even better. They don't fold like the XM4s did, so that may be a deal-breaker for you. Otherwise, the XM5s are a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that are highly effective at blocking outside noise. But we'd probably go for the XM4s to save even more cash.

1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones
1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones: was $69.99 now $62.99 at Amazon

Okay, so this isn't a massive discount. But when you consider that before the price cut these in-ears delivered five-star sound for just under seventy bucks, even this 10% discount makes them even more attractive. When we reviewed them we said they were great value for money, and now they're 10% greater.

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: was $69 now $55 at Amazon

In our gushing five-star Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 review, we showered the speaker with praise for its great sound quality, external charging capabilities and already amazing price. Given that it's now available for just $55 in the Prime Day sale, you can bet that this is an offer not to be missed.

JBL Authentics 200
JBL Authentics 200: was $379.95 now $199.95 at Amazon

There's lots to love about this retro-styled smart speaker, which has Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth and works with both Alexa and Google Assistant. And with nearly 50% off the list price it's now very affordable. For your money you're getting deep bass, punchy and surprisingly loud sound, and multiroom capability too.

Amazon Prime Day five-star audio deals in the UK

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3
Save 10%
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3: was £399 now £359 at Amazon

The most luxurious headphones don't often get deep discounts, so £40 off these flagship 'phones from B&W is a very welcome offer. These are sensational over-ears with lossless streaming, eight-mic noise cancelling and superb comfort too.

1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones
1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones: was £69.99 now £55.49 at Amazon

It's refreshing to see a UK deal that's better than the US one, and that's exactly what we've got here: 1MORE's very impressive 5-star in-ears are 10% off in the US, but they're an even more tempting 21% off in the UK. At just under £70 they were a steal. At just over £55 they're a brilliant buy.

JBL Flip 7
JBL Flip 7: was £129.99 now £109.99 at Amazon

The best price for UK buyers depends on which colour you choose: while the black one is down to £109, some of the other colors have smaller discounts or no discount at all. That's a shame, but 16% off the black one makes this five-star party speaker an even better buy. It's got all-day battery and punches way above its size when it comes to sound quality and volume.

JBL Authentics 200
JBL Authentics 200: was £299.99 now £239 at Amazon

Amazon's UK discount on this excellent smart speaker isn't as dramatic as it is in the US, but a 20% cut on the RRP isn't to be sniffed at and this is a brilliant home and travel speaker. The retro styling is a bonus but it's the punchy performance that makes this speaker special.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: was £299.95 now £189.05 at Amazon

These are the first-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, hence the really big discount. And that means you're getting ANC that still embarrasses many competitors, along with immersive spatial audio that we described as "scarily good". These are still up there with the very best noise-cancelling earbuds you can buy right now, and this is a very good price.

Nothing Ear (a)
Nothing Ear (a): was £89 now £69 at Amazon

In our five-star Nothing Ear (a) review, we couldn't get enough of the fun, energetic sound of these buds. On top of that, they have great ANC, a compact design, and an eye-catching look. Thanks to this Prime Day deal, you can grab these buds for less than £70, so don't miss out!

Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC over-ear headphones
Save £52
Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC over-ear headphones: was £229 now £177 at Amazon

This is one of the lowest prices we've ever seen for these Sonys: they're usually £199 or more, and sometimes much more. £177 is not a lot of money for a very impressive set of Sonys with superb sound and excellent ANC, and while the XM4s have been around for a few years now they're still our recommendation as the best over-ear ANC headphones for most people.

Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony WH-1000XM5: was £379 now £219 at Amazon

The older XM4s are outstanding, so it'll come as little surprise to know that Sony's XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping £160 off! They don't fold up like the XM4, but they're still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that block outside sound highly effectively.

Sony WF-C700N
Sony WF-C700N: was £99 now £55 at Amazon

The WF-C700N raised the bar when they burst onto the scene in April 2023. Are they still some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds around? We'd say so, and you can see why in our five-star Sony WF-C700N review. As long as the lack of higher-res LDAC support or and on-ear volume control doesn't worry you (and at this price it really should not) they're an excellent buy – and this is a whole £10 lower than we've ever seen them.

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: was £59.99 now £45.59 at Amazon

In our five-star Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 review, we said that we loved the great sound quality, charging features and its super low price. And now that price is even lower, dropping from around £60 to just over £45. It's a great little speaker for very little cash.
