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 better audio for your TV, you should take advantage of soundbar deals, and if you want an alternate smart TV interface, you may consider getting a streaming device. This doesn't have to be two separate purchases though, as you can go for the Roku Streambar SE. It's an even better choice right now because it's on sale at Amazon and Walmart with a $23 and at Best Buy with a $20 discount. That means you could buy it for as cheap as $77, from $100 originally. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain though, so you better act fast if you want to pocket the savings.
