Sony's fall sale advertises savings of up to 50% across headphones, earbuds, speakers, soundbars, televisions, and photography equipment. The discounts are applied automatically, with no coupon code required. Some products may also offer free pickup near participating Best Buy locations.

What shoppers should compare

These promotions give shoppers more places to check before committing to a Prime Day purchase. Comparing the final price, screen size, display type, and product generation is especially important for TVs and headphones, where similar-looking models can have substantially different specifications and discounts.
