What to look for in headphones and soundbars on sale
From wireless noise-cancelling headphones and true wireless earbuds through to Dolby Atmos soundbars, portable speakers and home theatre systems, here is what to consider before buying audio on sale at The Good Guys.
Headphones on sale by type
Headphone type determines how the product is worn, how it performs and where it suits daily use. Affordable everyday options sit alongside premium ANC and audiophile models across the range. The main categories available across headphone sales at The Good Guys cover over-ear, on-ear, in-ear and true wireless formats.
Over-ear headphones: the ear cup sits fully around the ear. This design delivers the most immersive sound and is generally the strongest format for active noise cancellation. Well suited to home listening sessions, remote work and travel.
On-ear headphones: the ear cup rests on top of the ear rather than surrounding it. Typically lighter and more compact than over-ear models, suited to commuting and everyday portable use.
In-ear headphones: a corded format that fits inside the ear canal. Lighter and more portable than over-ear, suited to sport, exercise and daily commuting.
True wireless earbuds: no cable between the two earbuds. Fully wireless design suits sport, exercise, commuting and everyday use. Battery life typically ranges from 5 to 12 hours per charge, with the charging case providing multiple additional charges.
Noise cancellation (ANC) is worth checking when comparing headphone sales intended for travel or open-plan use. Active noise cancellation electronically reduces ambient sound, while passive isolation relies on the physical seal of the ear cup or tip. Most current ANC models from Sony and Bose use a combination of both. ANC is most effective at reducing consistent low-frequency noise like aircraft engines and traffic.
Headphone features to compare
Beyond type and noise cancellation, several features affect day-to-day use and sound quality. The right combination depends on whether the headphones are primarily for music, calls, exercise or travel.
Battery life: over-ear models typically run 30 to 40 hours per charge. True wireless earbuds run 5 to 12 hours per charge, with the case providing 2 to 4 additional charges.
Bluetooth version: Bluetooth 5.0 and above offers improved range, lower latency and multi-device pairing. Worth checking when buying for use with multiple devices.
Codec support: aptX, LDAC and AAC codecs deliver higher quality audio over Bluetooth than the default SBC codec. Codec support varies by both headphone and source device.
Water resistance: IPX4 or higher is rated for sweat and rain resistance and is worth checking for exercise use.
Microphone quality: important for calls and video conferencing. Multi-microphone arrays with noise reduction are common on premium ANC models.
Multi-device pairing: allows the headphones to switch between a phone and a laptop without manually re-pairing.
Soundbars on sale and home theatre
A soundbar improves television audio without the complexity and space requirements of a multi-speaker surround sound system. The format ranges from compact single-bar models to full Dolby Atmos configurations with separate subwoofers and rear speakers.Budget soundbars from JBL, Samsung and LG cover stereo and 2.1 configurations between $200 and $500, suited to bedrooms and smaller living rooms where the priority is improving TV audio over the built-in speakers. Mid-range and premium soundbars from Sony, Sonos and Bose between $500 and $2,000 add Dolby Atmos, eARC, wireless rear speakers and multi-room support.Soundbars are available across several configurations:
Stereo soundbars: two-channel models suited to bedrooms and smaller living spaces where basic audio improvement is the goal.
2.1 soundbars: include a separate wireless subwoofer for deeper bass response, suited to living rooms where the built-in speaker output of a flat TV is insufficient.
Dolby Atmos soundbars: process multi-dimensional audio using upward-firing speakers to create a height effect, suited to dedicated home cinema setups and larger living rooms with good acoustic space.
Full surround configurations: a soundbar paired with a subwoofer and two rear speakers for a complete 5.1 or 7.1 setup.
Key features to compare across soundbar sales:
HDMI eARC: passes higher-quality audio signals including Dolby Atmos from a compatible TV. Check whether the television has an eARC-compatible HDMI port before buying.
Wireless rear speakers: add surround sound without running cables across the room.
Voice assistant: built-in Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant on selected models allows voice control for playback and smart home functions.
Multi-room audio: available on Sonos and selected Samsung models, allowing the soundbar to sync with other speakers in the home.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming: for playing music directly from a phone or via streaming services without going through the TV.

How to buy headphones or a soundbar on sale
Identify your primary use: noise cancellation for travel or open-plan work, sport fit for exercise, soundbar for TV audio improvement, multi-room for whole-home audio.
Choose headphone type: over-ear for best ANC and immersive listening, in-ear for portability, true wireless for everyday wireless use.
For soundbars: check whether your TV has an eARC-compatible HDMI port. A Dolby Atmos soundbar requires eARC to pass full Atmos audio.
Compare battery life (headphones) and connectivity options (soundbars: HDMI eARC, optical, Bluetooth).
Check multi-room compatibility if integrating with existing wireless speakers.
Confirm warranty terms; standard cover is typically 12 months in Australia.
Compare current sales across Sony, Bose, JBL, Sonos, Apple, Samsung and Sennheiser.

Frequently asked questions
Audio sits alongside the wider tech range at The Good Guys, with sales running across TVs, laptops, phones and smart home alongside the rest of the home appliance categories. The full deals directory is below.
The best time to buy a headphone on sale in Australia is generally during EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day, as these events produce the widest range of sales across noise-cancelling headphones, true wireless earbuds and Dolby Atmos soundbars from Sony, Bose, JBL, Samsung and Sonos.
When to consider buying outside peak sale periods:
When a current model is superseded by a newer release, the previous version typically drops in price
Stock movement events at individual store level can produce localised sales outside the main national sale periods
EOFY headphones and soundbars sale 2026
the EOFY sale at The Good Guys covers headphones and soundbars on sale from Sony, Bose, JBL, Samsung and Sonos across the range.
Black Friday headphones and soundbars sale 2026
Black Friday headphone sale 2026 in November brings some of the broadest sales of the year on headphones and soundbars, particularly on prior-generation models. Sale pricing typically extends through Cyber Monday into early December.
Boxing Day headphones and soundbars sale 2026
Boxing Day headphone sale 2026 in late December covers a broad range of headphones and soundbars and is often the strongest window for sale pricing on prior-year stock.
Sony, Samsung and Sonos consistently produce well-regarded soundbars for Australian buyers. Sony HT-series models offer strong Dolby Atmos performance at mid and premium price points. Sonos is a strong choice for households already in its wireless audio ecosystem, with the Arc and Beam ranges covering different room sizes.
For accessible price points with good sound quality, JBL and LG offer reliable options. Checking HDMI eARC compatibility with your TV before buying ensures the soundbar can pass through high-quality audio formats including Dolby Atmos. See the soundbar buying guide for a full breakdown by room size and TV setup.
Sony WH-1000XM-series models are widely considered among the best value noise-cancelling over-ear headphones available, typically sitting in the $450 to $650 range. For true wireless earbuds, Sony WF-series and Samsung Galaxy Buds models deliver competitive audio quality between $250 and $400.
Apple AirPods Pro are the strongest choice for iPhone users wanting tight iOS integration alongside active noise cancellation, with the current model typically priced around $400. For premium audio quality without active noise cancellation, see the Bose headphones range guide.
The Good Guys carries the full range of headphone types across all major brands. Wired headphones suit listeners prioritising audio quality at lower price points. Wireless headphones cover everyday use with Bluetooth connectivity.
Sports headphones suit running and gym use with sweat-resistant ratings and secure fit. Noise-cancelling headphones are popular for travel, work-from-home and commuting. Most premium ranges are available in both over-ear and in-ear formats. See the Bose headphones range guide for premium audio brand comparisons.
A separate subwoofer noticeably improves low-end performance over what a standalone soundbar can produce, particularly for movies and music with deep bass. Many premium soundbars from Sony, Samsung and Sonos come bundled with a wireless subwoofer. Standalone soundbar plus matched-brand subwoofer pairings are also widely available.
Room size matters: in smaller living rooms under 25 square metres, a soundbar with built-in down-firing subwoofers can be sufficient. For dedicated home cinema setups in larger rooms, adding a subwoofer alongside rear surround speakers delivers the closest approximation of full surround sound. The soundbar buying guide covers room-size matching in detail.
