Some of the best Amazon Prime Day AV gear deals can be found in the soundbar category, and it’s no wonder. Soundbars are an easy entry point to better audio, which will improve everything from the TV shows to the blockbuster action movies you watch. Even better, soundbars are inexpensive to begin with – even more so on Prime Day.
You can get cheap soundbars that still sound good, and those are mainly 2.1 models that offer stereo playback plus extra bass. Stepping up, you’ll find 3.1 models with an additional center-channel speaker driver for dialogue. Beyond that, there are systems with a separate subwoofer and possibly surround speakers, and ones with either upfiring speakers or virtual processing to convey Dolby Atmos soundtracks.
We’ve assembled a list of Prime Day deals that cover the gamut of soundbar options, with an emphasis on Dolby Atmos-capable offerings. As we’re conscious that most people don’t want to spend the same amount of cash on their audio as they just dropped on their TV, we’ve made a point of weighing the list toward under-$500 deals.
Whichever one you choose, you can rest assured that these soundbars will provide a marked improvement over your TV’s built-in audio, and you’ll experience sound in a whole different and more elevated way,
