Subpar sound can ruin the Television-watching experience. Banish the mumbles and background noise with a top-rated soundbar, many of which are still on sale right now for Prime Day.
According to our in-house home theater expert, if you don't want to run a bunch of wires across your living room, soundbars are your best bet for getting loud, high-quality audio for your home theater. When purchasing one, it's important to consider the brand, as some soundbars work best with TVs from the same brand. (LG doesn’t tend to play well with Sony, for example.) With that in mind, here are some of the best Prime Day deals you can find right now on soundbars.
If you can afford it, the JBL 1300X is sure to make the bass thump for all of your favorite songs and movies. This soundbar is compatible with AirPlay, Google Cast, and Alexa MRM. Our expert reviewer gave it an "Outstanding" 4.5-star rating, praising its "thunderous subwoofer" and "accurate spatial audio with height channel." For Prime Day you can get it for almost $500 less than the list price.
The JBL Bar 5.1 is a lightweight surround sound system that offers multibeam technology "in an attempt to fill the room with immersive, theater-like audio," according to our review. The Bar’s compatibility with AirPlay and Google Cast means you can connect your smartphone to the speaker if you want to listen to some tunes while you get your Sunday cleaning situated.
If you’re a diehard PlayStation player who wants to stick with Sony, this soundbar will help you make the most of your console's newly added compatibility with Dolby Atmos.
For sweet sound for a song, the Samsung HW-B550 has a built-in adaptive sound feature that analyzes what you are watching and adjusts the EQ profile accordingly, letting you go from movies to sports to the news without having to adjust the sound profile.
