It’s the time we’ve all been waiting for - Amazon is hosting 48 hours of sales dubbed the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, and that means mega savings to be had across a range of products from the big vacuum cleaners to small earbuds.
We’re looking out for tech gadgets on sale this year, and we’ve already rounded up slashed prices on tablets, mobile phones and cameras. But we think there’s one specific category that deserves your attention as one of the most discounted products on Amazon’s website right now, speakers. Available in a range of sizes and colours, there’s money to be saved on compact Bluetooth speakers, enormous gaming ones and everything in between.
So, whether you’re tired of playing tinny music from your phone and need to invest in a portable speaker, or want to get the most out of your TV and are after a surround sound system, there’s no better time to start adding items to your cart.
If you missed the bargain hunting event in July, the good news is that Amazon have announced another two days where you’ll have the chance to bag impressive deals on state-of-the-art technology. This time, it will start at 00.01 on October 11 and finish at 23.59 on October 12.
This exclusive event is for Prime members only, so if you’d like to bag yourself one of these highly discounted speakers, you’ll need to sign up. Fear not, membership won’t result in you having to remortgage your house as it’s only a mere £8.99 a month or £95 a year. What’s more, Amazon is offering everyone who isn’t a Prime member one month free - by signing up today you won’t pay a penny for 30 days, but can still access all the great deals.
Alongside the normal 48 hour Prime Day deals, customers will be treated to Deals of the Day - 24 hour offerings of special prices - and Lightning Deals that flash prices lasting only a few hours in some cases. Of course all deals are valid whilst stocks last, that’s why we’ve created a live blog detailing all the best deals and when to buy them, so you won’t miss out on some serious savings.
We’ve split our top-rated music speakers by category (portable, DAB, surround systems and home) and feature products at various price points so you’ll be sure to find something that works for you.
