Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has now finished. The sales event – which we dubbed Prime Day 2.0 – officially wrapped up at 6pm AEDT on October 12, 2023. It didn't disappoint, throwing up bargains galore across audio gear, phones, luggage and beauty. But, while it may be over – now leaving space for Black Friday in November – there are some deals still running on Amazon. And, the best part is, the deals are now available to everyone, not just Amazon Prime members. 

Of course, Prime members do get the added benefit of free delivery on eligible items, so if you're not already a member, you may still want to think about signing up. You can grab a 30-day free trial to test out the service and take advantage of the free delivery benefits. Ater that, a subscription costs AU$9.99 a month or AU$79 for a year – but you can cancel anytime.

Deals still available cover audio, laptops, phones and gaming, along with a few good discounts on beauty and grooming. We'll continue to sift through Amazon's deal pages to update this page with anything new we find.

While no longer an official Prime Day deal, the price on the AirPods (2nd Gen) has remained pretty low following the sale. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen on them, but the decent 25% discount has remained in place.

These Sennheiser buds had an extra AU$30 taken off their price during Prime Day, but if you did happen to miss out, this AU$150 saving is still appealing. We haven't tested them ourselves at T3, but our colleagues at <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/sennheiser-momentum-true-wireless-3-review" data-link-merchant="tomsguide.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"" target="_blank">Tom’s Guide have and they gave them a solid 4.5-star rating. Offering up to 31 hours of battery life between both the buds and the case, an IPX4 waterproof rating so you don't have to worry about sweat or rain doing some damage and packing in audio quality that Sennheiser is known for (it's good). 

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 ProAU$349from AU$220

<a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8434&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com.au%2Fdp%2FB0B8MQRGV8%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-22%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-22" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"">Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro | AU$349 from AU$220 (save up to AU$129)

This AU$120 saving applies to the black colourway.

Sennheiser CX True Wireless headphones AU$199AU$99

Want to nab a pair of buds for just under AU$100? Then this Sennheiser CX True Wireless headphones bargain is one to consider. Dropping down to AU$99 on Amazon, these buds offer a nice balance for sound and some great control options. At this price, the noise cancellation is a little lacklustre, but if that’s not a worry for you, then this is a really good bargain.

Bang &amp; Olufsen Beosound A1 | AU$550fromAU$344

<a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8434&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com.au%2Fdp%2FB08DG5J6QJ%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-22%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-22" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"">Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 | AU$550 from AU$344 (save AU$198)

A previous T3 award winner, the B&O Beosound A1 is premium, portable sound at its absolute finest.

And, once you start playing your favourite tracks, you'll understand where your money is going, as you'll revel in B&O's signature, detailed sound with just the right amount of low-end oomph.

It might not be the Ultra version with a larger external cover display, but the Motorola Razr 40 still has a lot for people to love. Not only is it an affordable, premium clamshell phone that comfortably goes head-to-head with Samsung's Z Flip offering, but it offers all-day battery life, a large and gorgeous internal display, and above all, we think it has ultimate cool status. The lilac model has the biggest discount, while the sage green (pictured) picks up a cool AU$100 saving.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M1) | 8GB RAM | 256GB SSD | AU$1,499 AU$1,347

<a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8434&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com.au%2Fdp%2FB08W44QZCV%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-22%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-22" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"">Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M1) | 8GB RAM | 256GB SSD | AU$1,499 AU$1,347 (save AU$152)

It might have been replaced by a newer model, but the M1 MacBook Air is still an absolute powerhouse of a machine that will work wonders for casual users and students alike. We never tend to expect huge discounts on Apple tech, and this 10% discount confirms that, but a saving is a saving, right?!

Another one that was slightly cheaper during the Prime Day sales, this Instant Vortex Plus air fryer still represents great value at its new AU$158 price.

The latest Mini instant camera in Fujifilm's popular series is arguably its best yet. With better power and lens control, a smaller and slender design, yet simple and easy to use, the Instax Mini 12 is a great buy, even as a gift for a click-happy youngster (at heart) at 29% off. If you can hold off, it might just drop in price further in a week, or more than the purple option might score a discount.

Gaming

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD with HeatsinkAU$268AU$137.68

<a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8434&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com.au%2FSamsung-Electronics-Heatsink-Compatible-MZ-V8P1T0CW%2Fdp%2FB09JHL33X7%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-22%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-22" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"">Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink | AU$268 AU$137.68 (save AU$130.32)

It might have been replaced by a newer model, but the Samsung 980 Pro SSD is still one of the best SSDs for PS5. This is thanks in no small part to its wonderfully-designed heatsink (an essential component, if you ask us) and incredibly fast write speeds that are sure to supercharge your gaming. 

This 1TB model should more than suffice for most gamers, so if your PlayStation 5 is in need of extra storage, there's never been a better time to buy this remarkable SSD.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: what is it

Amazon's second Prime Day-like sale is called Prime Big Deal Days and is being held from October 10 to October 12 this year.

As expected, prices have been slashed on quite literally thousands of products, across all categories available on Amazon's giant online store. Some of the best Prime Big Deal Day discounts are reserved for Amazon's own devices – although we have seen some prices cheaper in previous sales – but overall, Prime Big Deal Days represents another great chance to snap up some bargains in the run up to Christmas. 

How long will Amazon Prime Big Deal Days last?

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2023 is be a 65-hour deals marathon, just like Australia's usual Prime Day sale. This year, it kicked off at midnight Eastern time on October 10 and goes on until 5pm AEDT on October 12. Note that the last day is only for the international offers we're able to shop from Japan, Germany, the UK and the US.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: FAQs

Amazon Prime Day brands

When was Amazon Prime Day 2023?

Amazon Prime Day 2023 was a 65-hour deals marathon that kicked off at 00.01am AEST on July 11. While local offers (aka shipping from Amazon AU and local businesses) ended at 11:59pm AEST on July 12, we got to shop for a little longer. With deals from Japan, Germany, the UK and the US now available via Amazon AU, our sale finally finished at 5pm AEST on July 13 (when the sale finishes in the US West Coast).

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day began as a 24-hour sale in the US in 2015 to celebrate Amazon’s 20th anniversary, and it quickly became a hugely popular sale event for the retail giant. With a higher volume of deals than in November’s Black Friday sales, and with bigger discounts on offer, it proved to be a money mill for Amazon, and the company has carried on hosting the big sale ever since.

The event has grown and is now held in several countries, and also runs for over 48 hours in many locations. In Australia, however, we get a whooping 65 hours to enjoy shopping. That’s because we get to purchase items that are imported from the US and the UK, so the sale carries on for us until it ends on the US West Coast.

The bulk of deals on Prime Day are available exclusively to Prime members, so to get the best savings out of this event you will need to be an Amazon Prime member. In Australia, Amazon Prime costs AU$9.99 per month, or AU$79 if you pay for an entire year upfront and is a decent saving too.

This small fee not only gives you access to great deals and savings, you also get free expedited shipping on thousands of eligible items, as well as free international shipping for items costing AU$49 and over. You also get access to other Amazon services including Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming (a premium experience on Twitch).

How can I get a free Prime account for Prime Day?

So, we know that the best deals are likely going to be exclusive to Prime members, but there is a way to get a Prime account for free on Prime Day. The catch is, you can’t have had a Prime account before. First-time subscribers can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, and still reap all the benefits of a paying Prime member.

That means you’ll get early access (typically 30 minutes before other shoppers) to popular Lightning Deals – which is when Amazon drops the price on a limited quantity of hot products for a set period of time – plus free delivery on hundreds of eligible items, and free access to the aforementioned Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming.

If you decide to stick around after the free trial, Amazon Prime costs AU$9.99 a month, or AU$79 each year. Unlike in the US, Amazon Australia does not offer discounted student memberships or a family plan. We also miss out on some other US perks, like unlimited Amazon Photos storage and same-day delivery, but then we also pay less than half of what it costs our US counterparts.

Are Prime Day deals worth it?

The question of "Are Prime Day deals worth it?" gets asked quite a lot, and quite frankly there’s a yes and a no answer to this one. Depending on what exactly you’re hoping to buy, Prime Day could be the perfect chance to get the best discount, while it may be more beneficial to wait until the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales when the same or similar product could see a bigger discount at a different retailer.

That said, Prime Day deals are definitely worth it when it comes to electronics, smart tech and, of course, Prime services. Most Prime services, including Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Music Unlimited get some pretty sweet offers for newcomers and Prime members alike.

How to find the best Prime Day deals

Shopping on Amazon Prime Day can be an exhausting and overwhelming experience if you aren’t prepared for what’s ahead – and trust us, there will be thousands of deals landing on the site, with new ones added throughout the duration of the sale.

While Prime Day is a great chance for deal hunters to snag some of the best discounts of the year, it can easily go wrong if you aren’t sure what to look for, or how to look for it. With that in mind, here’s our expert advice for shopping on Amazon Prime Day, and how to save the most money this year.

Don’t just shop at Amazon: This one may surprise you, but hear us out. Since Prime Day has gotten so popular over the years, many retailers have begun trying to get in on the action by running their own Prime Day-like sales alongside Amazon. Stores such as JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and even eBay Australia are ones to watch, so don’t be afraid to shop there as well. You could be surprised by what kind of discounts you can find.

Trust your gut on reviews: Amazon’s review system isn’t very good at filtering out useless and unhelpful feedback. If you head to almost any major product released in the past year, you might see one-star reviews with a single sentence clearly expressing dissatisfaction and nothing else. You may even find "fake reviews" to help deter you from a good product or even steer you towards buying a bad product. If it’s something you truly want and it’s on sale, you can use free services like Fakespot to make sure the user reviews are genuine.

Compare prices: This applies to everything. Clothing, electronics, pet supplies, you name it. If it’s on sale during Prime Day, chances are most major sellers stocking it are dropping their prices, and they are all competing against each other. What you may not know, however, is that it may be cheaper at alternative sellers, so don’t be afraid to click that "see other buying options" button from time to time.

Stick with us: If you don’t want to spend too much time and energy on bargain hunting during Prime Day, then bookmark this page as we’ll be doing just that for you. T3’s deals team will be on hand to pick out the juiciest offers on a wide variety of tech and lifestyle products, and we’ll list them right here in an easy-to-navigate page.

What were the best Prime Day deals in 2022?

Image

The North Face | up to 44% off jackets

The North Face’s thermal jackets can cost a pretty penny, but for Amazon Prime Day 2022 you could grab a new jacket for just AU$169. There were discounts for both men and women’s styles, but only on a select few with sizing a little hit and miss.

Image

Nintendo Switch | AU$469 AU$339 (AU$130 off)

The price for the regular Switch was pretty darn good this Prime Day past, AU$9 less than its previous Prime Day low. So here’s hoping we see even bigger discounts as this console gets lapped up whenever there’s a big sale.

Image
Rare deal

Apple Watch 7 (GPS, 41mm) | from AU$599 from AU$497 (AU$102 off)

Since its launch in 2021, the Apple Watch 7 hardly saw a discount – we’ll put that down to stock issues. So seeing over AU$100 off during Prime Day 2022 made this one of the standout offers. Whether we’ll see better discounts than this again is anyone’s guess, but here’s hoping. Perhaps by the time the next Prime Day comes round, it could be the Apple Watch 8 that’s discounted...? Fingers crossed.

De'Longhi Magnifica automatic coffee machine | AU$1,099 AU$624.95 (AU$474.05 off)

For an automatic cappuccino machine, this is an expensive proposition, but when it drops in price this dramatically (by 43% to be precise), it’s hard to ignore. And it’s an absolute pick-me-up at this price. It makes two cuppas at the same time, has a milk frother too and makes a great cup of joe. Perhaps we’ll see other coffee machines get such deep discounts for Prime Day 2023.

At half price, this was a sizzling deal indeed! Admittedly it’s a small-capacity air fryer, but it can do a few things, is easy to use and came down to under a hundred bucks. You couldn’t have asked for more.

Lego sets | up to 41% off

Massive discounts on Lego was great news for the little children and the big ones. Who doesn’t love a good Lego set? No matter what you like, there’s a set for you – Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, even flowers. And to be able to save money on those sets, that’s just the icing on the blocky cake.

Are Prime Day deals worth it?

The question of "Are Prime Day deals worth it?" gets asked quite a lot around this time, and quite frankly there’s a yes and a no answer to this one. Depending on what exactly you’re hoping to buy, Prime Day could be the perfect chance to get the best discount, while it may be more beneficial to wait until the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales when the same or similar product could see a bigger discount at a different retailer.

That said, Prime Day deals are definitely worth it when it comes to electronics, smart tech and, of course, Prime services. Most Prime services, including Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Music Unlimited get some pretty sweet offers for newcomers and Prime members alike.

How to find the best Prime Day deals

Shopping on Amazon Prime Day can be an exhausting and overwhelming experience if you aren’t prepared for what’s ahead – and trust us, there will be thousands of deals landing on the site, with new ones added throughout the duration of the sale.

While Prime Day is a great chance for deal hunters to snag some of the best discounts of the year, it can easily go wrong if you aren’t sure what to look for, or how to look for it. With that in mind, here’s our expert advice for shopping on Amazon Prime Day, and how to save the most money this year.

Don’t just shop at Amazon: This one may surprise you, but hear us out. Since Prime Day has gotten so popular over the years, many retailers have begun trying to get in on the action by running their own Prime Day-like sales alongside Amazon. Stores such as JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and even eBay Australia are ones to watch, so don’t be afraid to shop there as well. You could be surprised by what kind of discounts you can find.

Trust your gut on reviews: Amazon’s review system isn’t very good at filtering out useless and unhelpful feedback. If you head to almost any major product released in the past year, you might see one-star reviews with a single sentence clearly expressing dissatisfaction and nothing else. You may even find "fake reviews" to help deter you from a good product or even steer you towards buying a bad product. If it’s something you truly want and it’s on sale, you can use free services like Fakespot to make sure the user reviews are genuine.

Compare prices: This applies to everything. Clothing, electronics, pet supplies, you name it. If it’s on sale during Prime Day, chances are most major sellers stocking it are dropping their prices, and they are all competing against each other. What you may not know, however, is that it may be cheaper at alternative sellers, so don’t be afraid to click that "see other buying options" button from time to time.

Stick with us: If you don’t want to spend too much time and energy on bargain hunting during Prime Day, then bookmark this page as we’ll be doing just that for you. T3’s deals team will be on hand to pick out the juiciest offers on a wide variety of tech and lifestyle products, and we’ll list them right here in an easy-to-navigate page.
