One of the most important aspects of any home theater is a premium sound system, one that allows for an immersive auditory experience for any show or movie you decide to binge from the living room couch.
But not everyone has the space — or money — for a full home audio system. That’s where a good soundbar comes in. Slim and sleek, these portable speakers deliver impressive sound for their size, often going above and beyond what you get from your TV’s speakers alone.
And if you were looking to upgrade your at-home viewing experience, now is the time to make the splurge with a number of top soundbar deals online, including best-selling units from LG, Bose and Sony for up to 81% off. The cheapest soundbar starts at just $38. Here are the best soundbar sales to shop right now.

VEAT00L 2.1ch Soundbar
The cheapest soundbar deal online right now is a flash sale at Walmart, which gets you this well-reviewed wireless soundbar for just $38. That’s a massive 81% off discount from its regular price of $199.99. The slim and sleek soundbar offers easy Bluetooth 5.0 pairing, 50 watts of power and a full range of sound that really amplifies throughout the room. This comes with a remote control as well.
Bose Smart Soundbar 600
Bose is one of the marquee names in home audio and their soundbars almost never go on sale. That’s why this $100 discount on the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 is something you’ll want to take advantage of (BestBuy also offers an “open box” option from just $333).
The slim soundbar squeezes five speakers into its compact, 27.5-inch housing and truly fires on all cylinders. Coupled with Dolby Atmos technology, the soundbar creates booming, life-like audio that reverberates throughout the room, whether you’re watching a movie or playing your favorite video game. This set includes HDMI eARC/ARC and optical audio cables for easy setup. Amazon pricing could change at anytime so we recommend adding to cart while deal is still live.
Sony HTX8500 Soundbar
Sony’s best-selling soundbar is 25% off as of this writing — the cheapest price we’ve seen for this unit and one of the best soundbars for under $250.
Sony’s HTX8500 is the closest you can get to cinema-like sound without the high price that comes with the impressive technology — especially now that it’s $100 off. The built-in technology automatically upscales everything as close to 7.1.2ch cinematic audio as possible. This is also a soundbar and subwoofer combo-in-one, delivering crisp highs and rumbling bass. And you can choose from a wide range of pre-sets, such as Sports, Game and Music modes.

Polk Audio Signa S2 Sound Bar & Wireless Subwoofer
This Amazon soundbar deal gets you the Polk Audio Signa S2, one of the top-reviewed soundbars online with a 4.5-star rating (out of five) from more than 23,000 verified shoppers. We’ve personally tested this soundbar too and can attest to its range of features and big, bold sound.
This deal gets you a wireless soundbar and a separate standing subwoofer, to really bring out the bass. The mini sub measures just over two-feet tall, allowing it to tuck in easily on the floor next to your entertainment unit (we keep ours behind the couch to create a “surround sound”-style experience).
This subwoofer is great for listening to music or watching TV shows and movies. We especially appreciated the “Polk Adjust Technology,” which works to improve voice levels on screen so dialogue and conversations come through crisp and clean.
LG Sound Bar and Wireless Subwoofer
Get 380 watts of power from a compact setup thanks to this soundbar and subwoofer combo from LG. One of the most-trusted names in home entertainment, LG soundbars are known for their consistency and high performance. Case in point: LG uses AI to automatically adjust sound levels based on what you’re watching — boosting bass levels for music and gaming, bringing up the commentary for live sports, and creating a multi-channel experience for movies.
This deal also includes a mounting bracket for easy wall mounting and installation.
Amazon Fire TV Soundbar
Amazon’s Fire TV soundbar delivers some seriously impressive audio for its portable size. Get easy Bluetooth pairing with Dolby Audio sound that’s great for watching movies and gaming, or as a speaker to listen to music. Pair it with your Fire TV and control everything with one remote (it can be paired with non-Fire TV sets as well). This is the number-one bestselling soundbar on Amazon, with more than 10,000 units sold in the last month alone. The last time this soundbar went on sale was Prime Day so consider this an extended deal.
