This latest release of Amazon entry-level Kindle only came out last month, and while we think it's got great performance, it's a little hard to recommend at full price. This small 10% discount goes some way to rectifying that, and if you're after a lovely Christmas present for someone who loves to read, this makes for a great festive option, particularly in the new Matcha Green colour... though it's also discounted in the usual Black.
Save AU$50
The best-value Kindle in our opinion, the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is speedier in use than the model it replaces, which makes a huge difference if you read a lot. The screen is a bit brighter too, which is a great addition. If you're happy to still read in black and white when there's colour ereaders on the market, this is the best option.
Save AU$250

A brilliant portable speaker with room-filling sound, the JBL Charge 5 boasts great audio balance and impressive battery life, so much so that it earned a TechRadar Recommends seal of approval in our review.

Headphones
Save AU$115
While not the lowest price we've seen on what are still arguably Sony's best over-hear headphones (the newer XM5s are a minor update to our ears, and arguably not worth the extra dosh), Amazon's discounting both white and black colour options by 26%, which brings them back to their Black Friday of AU$324. They deliver superb sound, have outstanding ANC and the batteries last for up to 30 hours. Well worth the asking price.
Save AU$94
Again, this isn't the lowest price we've seen, but if you want the latest version of Sony's excellent noise cancelling over-ear cans, this is still worth your attention.

Save AU$30.01
Nothing's affordable Ear (a) earbuds were a surprise hit this year, offering fun and expansive sound, decent noise cancellation and a much more pocketable case – impressing us so much that, in our Nothing Ear (a) review, we awarded it an Editor's Choice seal of approval. With AU$30 off, they're all the more attractive.
Save AU$50.01
Nothing's latest earbuds are worth considering as an affordable rival to Apple AirPods and Samsung Galaxy Buds. In our Nothing Ear review, we praised the buds for their earth-shaking bass, comfortable fit and personalisation, though we would have liked a higher max volume and a longer battery life.

Our current pick as the best budget earbuds (even at their original price) the Sony WF-C510 deliver a punchy, detailed sound complete with support for 360 Reality Audio spatial audio.

Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 30% discount – the lowest price we've seen. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time.
TV and home cinema

It might be mini by name but it's certainly not mini by nature. This Sennheiser soundbar is easy to accommodate and is more than capable of delivering a huge, detailed and precise sound into your room.

This time around, white colour option is the cheapest, although it's not quite the lowest price we've seen – that was AU$52.50 for the red controller back in May. It could still be a good time to pick up an extra gamepad or two for a reasonable price.

It's a little divisive, but Ubisoft is continually shaving off at its rougher edges, and if you love a cheerful mix of low-stakes stealth and third-person shooting, there's no reason you won't love this. Outlaws only released in late August, so this is a bargain for a relatively new game.

Amazon Boxing Day Sale 2024: What you need to know
When will the Amazon Boxing Day 2024 sale start?
Amazon's Boxing Day sale in Australia kicked off today, December 22, keeping in line with previous years. The online retail giant hasn't given an indication with regards to how its Boxing Day sale will last, however, although going off previous years, it should run until at least December 28.
When will Amazon's Boxing Day sales end?
Looking at previous years in order to know what to expect for Amazon's Boxing Day sale in 2024, we have a suspicion that the sale will last until December 28, as it did in 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Again, that is still speculation on our part, but we're quite sure that Amazon will continue to offer some excellent discounts into the new year and pivot its offers into January sales to ring in the new year.
You'll find the best deals won't hold over in this manner, however, as we've seen recently for example with Black Friday and Cyber Monday where some of the biggest savings did actually end on December 2 (aka Cyber Monday).
This means that if you spot a deal that's right for you during the Boxing Day sale event, don't hesitate to snap it up before it's gone!
Amazon Boxing Day 2024 sales: the deals to expect
As with previous Boxing Day sales, Amazon has slashed prices on a wide range of products, including headphones, speakers, gaming, PC, vacuum cleaners and much more.
For a more in-depth look as to what other deals we can expect over the next few days, we've taken a look at some key categories below to break it down.
Video game deals
During last year's Boxing Day sale, we didn't see the kinds of savings opportunities we would have hoped for on any of the top gaming consoles, although the recent Black Friday sale proved that we might be able to see some decent discounts on select consoles, including the Nintendo Switch OLED and Xbox Series X.
Amazon also had an actual discount on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, so we wouldn't be surprised if we see them again.
PlayStation and Xbox deals are always top of the list for many shoppers. But Amazon never seems to be consistent in the discounts it offers during the various sales events. We've already seen some discounts on both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X emerge during Black Friday weekend via Amazon, but the PS5 offers never last long, usually getting snapped up within minutes if not hours.
Computing and laptop deals
Boxing Day, like Black Friday, represents one of the best chances of any given year to save a bundle on some of the best computers, laptops and peripherals, and Amazon has plenty to offer in this space. During last year's Amazon Boxing Day sales, we saw some solid savings of over AU$500 on some impressively specced laptops, including both gaming options and more work-friendly machines.
We hope for even better this year on this front with bonza savings on premium hardware items, but we can also expect some of the better accessories from the likes of Razer and Logitech to land solid discounts as we saw during Black Friday this year.
Smartphone and tablet deals
Savings get particularly interesting on Boxing Day when it comes to smartphones and tablets, and Amazon is almost sure to lead in this category with opportunities to save on its Kindle ereader models. Last year’s Boxing Day sales from Amazon also saw some opportunities to save on Samsung handsets, including the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, and Samsung tablets too, so we can look forward to savings on the newer range, including the foldables this year.
Apple iPhone models also saw good discounts during this year's Black Friday, so we wouldn't be too surprised if we once again see discounts in their hundreds of dollars.
Smart home and appliances deals
Savings on quality smart home tech and appliances during Amazon’s Boxing Day sales are almost a sure thing, especially given that the retail giant is sure to discount its own Echo products. Smart lights from Philips Hue and Nanoleaf have also historically been discounted on Amazon during previous Boxing Day sales, although Aussie stock of the latter is no longer available on the online retailer's site locally. '
That said, keep an eye on the more affordable options like smart bulbs from Laser and TP-Link Tapo – they might be cheap even at full price, but if you can save a few dollars on them, no one will complain.
Air fryers, vacuums, heating and cooling, etc – it’s likely to all be there for the taking with decent savings attached. Keep a particular lookout for deep discounts on robot vacuum cleaners.
