The 6 best Amazon Prime Day portable hi-fi deals, as chosen by TechRadar's audio editor

Friends, it's Amazon's October Prime Day (some call it Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, but I just don't have the time) and if you're here for something a little different, I want to tell you this: it's not all big wireless karaoke speakers or flagship Bluetooth headphones.

Perhaps, like me, you're bypassing Bluetooth these days and looking to level up the wired IEMs or player you already own. I'm here for that.

Top of the pile for me? That's easy: I've written odes to Astell & Kern's excellent HC3 DAC, which has a mic for gamers and is now just £99, down from £199, so it's less than half-price.

Also great for gamers who want to really enjoy the soundtracks to their interactive entertainment is the Fosi Audio K5 Pro, a compact and budget-friendly desktop DAC (that's 'Digital-to-Analog Converter') and headphone amplifier. It is designed primarily for gaming, streaming, and PC or console audio use — and for under £65 (was £80) it's a bargain.

If you're after cheap IEMs, you need to take a look at the Activo Scoop — from Astell & Kern's affordable sub-brand. They're in our best wired earbuds buying guide for a reason, and although they were initially priced at £80, Activo soon saw their popularity and upped the fee a little — which is why when they're back down to £79 (was £99) it's worth snapping them up. I mean, there are five drivers in each earpiece, if that's not value for money I don't know what is.
