Best soundbar deals: Save on Bose, Samsung, Vizio, and more

Adding one of the best soundbars to a TV can add an entirely different dimension to everything you like to watch. And while the best soundbars are going to add the best audio, not everybody is on the same budget and there are a lot of soundbar deals out there to help bring the price down. You can find some quality soundbars among the best Bose deals and best Sonos deals going on right now, but here we’ve rounded up soundbar deals from several other top audio brands as well. You’ll find all of the best soundbar deals below, and if you’d like to further deepen your home theater experience be sure to check out all of the best subwoofer deals, best headphone deals, and best TV deals as well.

The Sony S100F 2.0-channel soundbar is as simple as soundbars can come, with two channels — the standard left and right — that you can link to your TV through an HDMI ARC connection or to your mobile devices through Bluetooth. It may have a compact design, but it will deliver improved audio quality while you’re watching TV shows or movies, and it features Sony’s S-Force Pro Front Surround technology that fills your room with sound.

Vizio 5.1-channel M-Series soundbar— $300, was $330

The Vizio 5.1-channel M-Series premium soundbar is one of the best value plays you can make for your home theater, as it features nine high performance speakers with separate tweeters and woofers. This allows the soundbar to provide pristine clarity and rich sound for all of your favorite movies, music, sporting events, and games. It even includes a wireless subwoofer that brings deep, heart-pounding bass to your home theater experiences. The Vizio 5.1-channel M-Series soundbar creates immersive, cinematic 3D surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies. Setting it up with your home theater is made easy with a variety of connection options, and setting it up with things like voice assistants is even easier, as the Vizio 5.1-channel M-Series soundbar is able to connect via Bluetooth wireless.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 not only delivers excellent music quality and impressive surround sound with Dolby Atmos, but it also serves as a smart speaker with your choice between Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands for a variety of functions. The soundbar connects through either HDMI eARC, optical audio, or Bluetooth, and it works with Bose SimpleSync technology that will allow you to pair it with compatible Bose wireless headphones for personal listening.

The Sonos Arc is incredibly easy to set up and use, and once the soundbar is up and running, you’ll enjoy great audio with up-firing drivers that recreate Dolby Atmos sound. If you have other Sonos speakers, they can function as surround satellites for the Sonoc Arc for an even more immersive experience. The soundbar connects to your TV using an HDMI ARC/eARC port, and it can stream music from your favorite services through the Sonos app or Apple AirPlay 2. The Sonoc Arc can also serve as a smart speaker, with your choice between Sonos Voice Control, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Assistant.

Update 09/27/24: This marks the beginning of our coverage of this Prime Day event with Best Buy. Best Buy is currently doing a "Member Deal Days" sale through Sunday, to grab some attention *before* Amazon's event begins. Many of the deals in this update, as a result, may be gone before the next update of the article.

With Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event starting officially on October 8 and 9, Best Buy has a chance to head up the sales and get attention. The game is on, so to speak. If you're here early enough (before Sunday September 29), you can take advantage of Best Buy's if you're a Best Buy Plus or Total member. Those same members have a chance to get a $50 bonus reward whenever they spend $500 or more between now and October 20. So no matter what you want, including stuff like Dell Prime Big Deal Day deals, you might very well be best to check out Best Buy's sale if you're a member there. Here, we're finding the best deals in the categories that matter the most to you, to keep your comparison shopping at a minimum. As you look, however, remember that many of the deals will end Sunday, so don't hesitate too long before you snap up a deal you want.
