Memorial Day takes place on the last Monday in May, and this year it’ll take place on May 26. It’s a day when online retailers cut the prices of a whole range of products, but this year, the deals have started to come in early and I’ve picked out some of my favourite music-themed bargains.

I’ll kick off with a 20% saving on the lightweight Hearprotek Concert earplugs which have been reduced from $17.99 to $14.39 at Amazon. The pack contains two pairs of reusable silicone earplugs which offer up to 23dB of noise protection.

If you’re looking for a cheap but excellent pair of headphones, then the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 are worth a closer look - and there’s 33% off them at Amazon. The price has been slashed from $59.99 to just $39.98 making this a top deal. They have up to 60 hours of playback and offer excellent audio.

I recently bought a JBL Go 4 portable speaker for a trip away and I loved it so much that I now use it around the house on a daily basis. The good news is that if you want one, Amazon have cut the price by 20% - down from $49.95 to $39.95. It’s a rugged wee thing that sounds fantastic and is available in a range of colours. It carries an IP67 rating meaning it’s waterproof and dustproof and you’ll get 7 hours of music from a full charge. Thoroughly recommended, especially at this price.
