Modern TVs have sleek designs, forcing the speakers to be placed on the sides or bottom of the unit. This often delivers unsatisfactory audio experiences, but you can mitigate that by pairing it up with a top-quality soundbar. The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days run through Oct. 9, but year-round evaluations made by our experts have helped us narrow down five soundbar deals you can cash in on now.
It’s hard to imagine a list of the best soundbars without JBL. The JBL Bar 1300X has an 11.1.4-channel setup, conveniently detachable wireless satellites, and a huge 12-inch subwoofer that envelops the listeners with booming sounds. Our expert gave the soundbar an “Outstanding” rating as well as our Editors’ Choice award noting, “the JBL Bar 1300X is one of the more expensive soundbars we’ve tested, but it offers loads of power and an incredibly immersive experience.” If you’re looking for a great movie or sports experience at home and have a few extra bucks to spend, you don’t need to look any further. Snag this one at a $300 discount.
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 has Dolby Atmos support and five-channel audio processing, which deliver precise and immersive audio. It is ideal “for anyone who wants to minimize the footprint of their home theater speaker setup,” says our expert, who gave it an “Excellent” 4.0 rating. The soundbar is available right now for a huge $100 discount.

Solid Home Theater System
The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround soundbar uses multibeam technology to fill the room with immersive, theater-like audio. “For the price, this is a solid system,” according to our review. “The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround system is powerful, and it works well for both film and music. But the lack of user-adjustable parameters beyond three bass settings means it can sometimes be tough to locate the ideal sound signature for a given movie or track. Still, for the price, the Bar 5.1 Surround represents a solid deal,” says our expert. You can claim this soundbar right now for a steep $200 discount.
The Roku TV Streambar SE will be the perfect pick if you’re getting a soundbar primarily to improve your overall TV experience. Its mono speaker improves the audio, and the built-in media streamer turns your regular TV into a smart one. Our expert gave the Roku Streambar an “Excellent” rating, so its younger sibling, the Streambar SE, is likely to impress as well.

If you want a potent soundbar that doesn’t take up too much space, the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini AX is your best bet. Despite its size, it delivers powerful home theater audio, partly thanks to its efficient and wireless subwoofer. In our review, we gave it an “Excellent” rating and heaped praise on its strong bass. Our expert had this to say: “It pushes the boundaries of what a small soundbar can do, partly thanks to the included subwoofer. It isn’t for anyone looking for accurate directional imaging despite its Dolby Atmos support, but it can produce big sound for its size.”
