Save 33% on the JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar when you shop now

JBL is one of the most popular names in the audio industry, so there’s no reason not to trust the quality of the JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar. As explained by our guide on how to choose a soundbar, the numbers in its name mean it comes with five channels — the standard left and right channels, the center channel for improved dialog clarity, and two more channels to enable surround sound. The “1,” meanwhile, means it’s bundled with a wireless subwoofer for extra bass, combining with the JBL Bar 5.1’s 300W of total output power for a more enjoyable experience when watching shows and movies at home.

In addition to connecting the JBL Bar 5.1 to your TV through its optical digital audio or HDMI port for better audio, you can play music from your mobile devices on the soundbar through a Bluetooth connection. The JBL Bar 5.1 also features MultiBeam technology, which will allow it to deliver powerful sound without the need for more speakers and Wi-Fi connectivity so that you can also use Chromecast and Apple’s AirPlay 2 to stream content to the soundbar.

Best Buy’s $200 discount for the JBL Bar 5.1 is one of the most attractive Prime Big Deal Days soundbar deals that we’ve come across. From its sticker price of $600, it’s down to a more affordable $400. The offer is only going to last until the end of the day, though, coinciding with the end of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, so don’t think twice about jumping on this limited-time deal.

If you want to upgrade your home theater setup with a massive display, you won't find any shortage of TV deals out there, but you're going to want to consider the 85-inch Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV. With a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review, it's on the level of premium TVs but at a relatively more affordable price, especially following Best Buy's $1,000 discount for it. From its original price of $4,000, this huge luxury screen is down to $3,000 -- it's still not what you'd call cheap, but it's a bargain that you wouldn't want to miss.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV
In our review of the Sony Bravia X93L TV, we described it as a TV that provides "premium performance without the 'Sony tax,'" as you'll be getting amazing features at a more affordable price compared with the brand's other premium TVs. Sony is one of the best TV brands, but its TVs tend to be a bit more expensive -- that's not the case with the Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV, which we think is a lower-cost luxury TV. You'll get 4K Ultra HD resolution, and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, for a cinematic experience. We highly recommend checking out our guide on what size TV to buy though, just to make sure that you have enough space for its 85-inch screen.
