Amazon Prime Day is set to take place on July 16 & 17 - a two-day sales event that’ll bring bargains galore on a whole pile of music-related products, gift ideas and cool collectables and we'll have all the best Prime Day music deals right here for you.
But even though we’re waiting for the big deals to start rolling in, there are still a bunch of price reductions you can take advantage of right now, including five free months of Amazon Music Unlimited for Prime members. And even if you don’t have Prime yet, you can get three free months.
Another great early Prime Day deal is three free months of Audible. An Audible membership lets you choose one free audiobook per month, with the option to purchase others on top of that. There are thousands of options to choose from covering a multitude of genres, with highlights including listening to Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford narrate his books Confess and Biblical.
Only Prime members will be able to benefit from the price reductions coming down the pipe later this month so it’s a good idea to sign up now if you haven’t yet done so. A Prime membership also comes with a range of benefits and extras including speedy delivery, early access to lightening deals and more - and you'll get the first 30 days for free.
Prime costs $14.99 a month in the US, and £8.99 a month in the UK.

Prime Day FAQ
When is Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day always takes place in July, and this year's two days of sales will take place on Tuesday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 17.
It was originally a single day of cut-price bargains, but in recent years, Amazon decided to expand it to two full days. Prime Day is usually followed later in the year by another two-day sales event, but at the time of writing, nothing has been confirmed by the online shopping giant.
Prime Day starts at 00.01am BST on Tuesday 16 July and ends at 11.59pm BST on Wednesday 17 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?
While the occasional offer can be obtained by non-Prime members, to get full access to the vast majority of deals, you'll need to grab a Prime membership. You can currently sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial, after which you'll be charged $14.99/£8.99 per month for the service.
There’s also Prime Annual for $139/£95 and a cut-price student plan.
Not only do Prime members get all the deals taking place over Amazon Prime Day, but there are other benefits too, including faster delivery of orders, exclusive bargains, early access to lightning deals, along with Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Prime Video.
It's also worth noting that not all the action takes places on Amazon over Prime Day, with plenty of non-Amazon retailers slashing prices and making the most of the buzz surrounding Prime Day.
Where can I find the best Prime Day 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.
Remember, it's not just music stuff up for grabs, either. Maybe you have a weekend of live music planned later this summer and want to check out one of the best festival tents. There will undoubtably also be sales on pop culture collectables, Lego kits and more
Amazon devices are always reduced for Prime Day, so we'll bring you the best deals on those such as the awesome 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 other products will be on sale over Prime Day?
With Prime Day being an Amazon invention, chunks of change will be lopped off a bunch of Amazon's own products, including speakers, Ring video doorbells, Kindle readers and Fire TV sticks.
Amazon already got in on the action early by offering Prime members five free months of Amazon Music Unlimited and three free months of their audiobook service, Audible.
And even though Prime Day is Amazon only, if previous years of covering the event are anything to go by, other online retailers such as Walmart and BestBuy will also get in on the action to offer discounted products.
We'll bring you all the biggest and best deals around Prime Day to help you grab a brilliant summer bargain - no matter what site they're on.
Why you can trust us
At Louder, we’ve been covering annual online sales events including Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for many years and have also written dozens of buyer's guides and hands-on product reviews.
We'll always give you the pros and cons on products to help you make an informed decision, with the team exploring individual product specs, how easy the item is to use, how it performs and if it represents good value for money.
If a product is aimed at musicians, we'll test it onstage or in the studio, while gear like headphones, Bluetooth speakers and turntables are put under scrutiny in our homes - not in a soundproofed studio. Why? We feel this will give you a more genuine insight into how you’ll be using the product if you decide to make a purchase.
All our reviews will always feature a couple of alternative options to give you as much choice as possible when it comes to choosing something that's going to be right for you.
