Amazon sellers and brand partners have cut prices across gaming, audio and home entertainment products for Prime Day, with offers in the UK and US spanning controllers, projectors and other devices.

A round-up of listed deals shows discounts on soundbars, gaming controllers, microphones, headphones, projectors and a haptic gaming vest. Several products are reduced by 20% or more, while one projector is marked down by half.

The Sound BlasterX G6 is listed at GBP £119.99 on the UK store, down from GBP £129.99, while the Stage Pro compact 2.1 soundbar is priced at GBP £109.99 on Amazon UK, down from GBP £129.99.

Creative is also offering extra discounts through store codes on its online shops: "HOTDEALS" for the US and Canada, and "MIDYEAR10" for the UK.

Woojer's Vest 4 haptic vest has been reduced by 20% to USD $383 and GBP £366 from USD $479 and GBP £458. It is marketed for gaming, films, virtual reality and music, using body-based vibration effects linked to audio.

Sound focus

OXS has some of the larger percentage cuts in the audio category. Its Thunder Lite gaming soundbar is down 33% to USD $99.99 and GBP £99.99 from USD $149.99 and GBP £149.99, while the Storm G2 wireless gaming headset is reduced by 38% to USD $49.99 and GBP £49.99 from USD $79.99 and GBP £79.99.

Projector deals

Dangbei's projector range includes the steepest headline discount in the list. The DBOX02 projector is priced at USD $949 and GBP £749, down 50% from USD $1,899 and GBP £1,279.

Other Dangbei products in the promotion include the MP1 Max 4K projector at USD $1,104 and GBP £949, down from USD $1,799 and GBP £1,599; the N2 mini at USD $149 from USD $229 in the US; and the Freedo portable Google TV projector at USD $319 and GBP £305 from USD $549 and GBP £399.

The sale reflects strong overlap between entertainment and gaming. Many of the listed soundbars and controllers are positioned for use across PCs, consoles, televisions and mobile devices, while several projectors are sold as alternatives to traditional TV setups.

Prime Day price competition has increasingly pushed specialist electronics brands to rely on deeper cuts to stand out in a crowded marketplace. In this group of offers, discounts of 20% are common, while a smaller number of products are reduced by about one-third or more.

The highest listed UK price in the selection is the Dangbei MP1 Max at GBP £949 after discount, while the lowest-priced item in the UK group is the GameSir Nova Lite 2 at GBP £23.99.

In the US selection, the lowest listed promotional price is also the GameSir Nova Lite 2 at USD $23.99, while the highest is the Dangbei MP1 Max at USD $1,104.

Across categories, sound products account for the largest share of the offers, followed by controllers and display devices. The mix suggests brands are using the event not only to shift entry-level accessories but also to test demand for higher-priced home entertainment hardware such as Dolby Atmos soundbars, gaming audio systems and laser projectors.

The largest percentage reduction in the line-up is the 50% cut on the Dangbei DBOX02 projector.
