TechRadar's Max Publishes Expert-Approved Headphone Deal Guide for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

TechRadar published a headphone deals guide for Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale on October 1, 2026, written by senior staff writer Max, whose reviewing background spans What Hi-Fi?, Pocket-lint and the editorship of two hi-fi magazines.

According to the author biography accompanying the article, Max's remit at TechRadar runs from home entertainment and audio first, to broadband plan comparisons second, and to consumer electronics more broadly third. He is also editor of Australian Hi-Fi and Audio Esoterica magazines, two specialist titles devoted to hi-fi equipment and high-end audio.

His audio reporting predates the current role. Max began his career at What Hi-Fi?, where he spent three years and, by his own account in the biography, moved from not knowing what a DAC was to demonstrating expert knowledge of brands, their latest releases and which of them could be judged the best. He then spent about two years at Pocket-lint, reviewing soundbars, headphones, home speaker systems and televisions while producing news and features for the site's daily output.

In the years that followed, he wrote in the men's lifestyle space and developed an interest in fitness and health, covering gym training as well as the wearable devices he describes as expert assistants. He returned to consumer technology with Future, the publisher behind TechRadar, where he now works alongside his magazine editing duties.

The deals article is built around headphones and carries the expert-approved framing that derives from the reviewing experience set out in the author biography rather than from any third-party testing panel described in the material. It appears as part of TechRadar's deals output timed to coincide with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event.

The text of the article supplied names no individual headphone models, prices or discount levels, and sets out no manufacturer or retailer response to the selection. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is a recurring promotional event; the guide positions itself for readers shopping the sale for audio products.

Max has said he spends spare time at the gym and hopes one day to learn to DJ, according to the biography.
