Amazon Prime Day has closed its doors for another year, but there are still some deals to be found out in the wild.
For example, the offer of four months of Amazon Music Unlimited free for Prime users (opens in new tab) (three months for non-Prime) is still live at the time of writing - and it's a cracking deal if you haven't already taken the plunge. Want the numbers? Grabbing this offer now will save you £/$35.96 over the four months, after which you can either cancel, or start paying £/$8.99 per month. This Prime Day deal makes it one of the cheapest music streaming services on the block right now.
Another deal that is still out there is an amazing £141 saving on the excellent Sony WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling headphones. Amazon UK have cut the price from £350 down to just £209 (opens in new tab) making this a belter of a bargain.
It's worth pointing out that these offers could come to an end at any time, so if you see something you like, out advice is to get in quick.

Prime Day music deals 2022: Prime Day FAQ
When is Prime Day 2022?
Amazon Prime Day is usually a mid-summer event, however in 2020 it was pushed to later in the year for obvious reasons. For 2021, Amazon Prime Day returned to June. For Amazon Prime Day 2022, the event has been officially confirmed as taking pace on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 July.
For more of the latest news and info, you can check out the Prime Day hub page on Amazon (opens in new tab).
Eagle-eyed readers will have spotted that Prime ‘Day’ is actually now a 2-day event, offering 48-hours of mega deals, sales and discounts.
Prime Day starts at 00.01am BST on Tuesday 12 July and ends at 11.59pm BST on Wednesday 13 July. If you're in the US, Prime Day kicks off at 00.01am PT on Tuesday and ends 11.59pm PT on Wednesday.
Do I need a Prime subscription?
The short answer is yes. In order to take advantage of Amazon’s best Prime Day music deals you need to be a Prime subscriber. While we’re not condoning this behaviour, we've heard that you can sign up for a free trial nearer the event, bag all the bargains you can handle, then cancel once you’re satiated. But you didn’t hear that from us...
Amazon Prime Members get faster delivery of orders, exclusive deals and access to Prime Music and Prime Video, so if you’re a regular shopper, it could be worth signing up anyway.
If you've already had a free trial, as of right now, a monthly Amazon Prime subscription (opens in new tab) will cost you £7.99/$14.99 (which can be cancelled at any time) and a yearly option is £79/$139.
There's also a student plan (opens in new tab) that currently costs $7.49/£3.99 per month or $69/£39 per year.
But it's worth noting that not all the action takes places on Amazon, with plenty of non-Amazon retailers slashing prices and making the most of the buzz surrounding Prime Day. You might not need that Prime membership after all.
Where to find the best deals
If you’re a music fan (if not, you've clearly landed on Louder in error) then there will be countless Prime Day music deals to sink your teeth into. Whether you’re after a new pair of budget wireless headphones, you’re planning on upgrading your record player, or grabbing an ace budget turntable, stocking up on cheap vinyl records or you’ve got your eyes on a new smartwatch for music, it’s definitely worth putting some budget aside for a bargain once Prime Day rolls around.
Heck, it's not just music stuff up for grabs, either. Maybe you have a weekend of live music planned this summer and need one of the best festival tents. You're sure to find money off tents and camping gear this Prime Day.
Amazon devices sell super well around Prime Day too, so if you’re in the market for an Amazon Echo Studio – our top pick when it comes to the loudest Bluetooth speakers – or one of the dinky Echo Dots, then you’ll be sure to find the best prices come Prime Day.
What else should I look out for on Prime Day?
With Prime Day being an Amazon invention, it's likely you'll find money off Amazon's own products. So, if you've been thinking about purchasing an Amazon Echo device, Prime Day could be the time to get a big discount.
We're hoping to see big money off the fantastic-sounding Echo Studio, in addition to the compact Echo Dot. In fact, quite often Amazon will roll out great value bundles that combine Echo speakers with up to 6 months of Amazon Music Unlimited thrown in. So, if you're looking to upgrade your smart speaker system and bag free access to a great music streaming service, Prime Day is the time to strike.
Amazon is also responsible for Ring Video Doorbells, Kindles and Fire TV sticks, amongst others, so keep your eyes peeled if you're ready to make your home smarter.
And while 'Prime Day' is exclusive to Amazon and Prime members, plenty of other retailer get in on the discounting action across those two days too.
