I’ve tested dozens of Dolby Atmos soundbars, these are the ones to buy for Black Friday

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) has crashed to a new record-low price with this deal, taking it down to $349. I love this compact soundbar, which delivers room-filling power, impressive bass, and real attention to detail. It's also a perfect speaker for streaming music over Wi-Fi and can be paired with other Sonos speakers and subwoofers for a full surround sound system.

I got hands-on with the compact Bose Smart Soundbar earlier in the year, and it's a pretty impressive model. Its up-firing speakers create convincing Dolby Atmos effects, and you'll get generally clear sound that's awesome for movies and music alike. There's even a Personal Surround Sound feature that lets you pair the bar with Bose's Ultra Open Earbuds for surround sound without the extra speakers. We've not seen a ton of discounts on this model before, so take advantage now to secure $150 off!

This deal is categorically one of the best I've seen for Black Friday. Although the Samsung HW-Q800F's typical cost is listed at around $750, it actually launched at $1,099, meaning you're getting it for around half price here. This model is the best soundbar and sub combo I've tested here at TechRadar. It plates up rumbling bass, impeccable dialogue clarity, and phenomenal Atmos effects. For less than $550, you really couldn't ask for much more.

This compact 3.1-channel model has topped TechRadar's best soundbars list as the best budget option for several years straight. It wowed me with genuinely expansive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X effects, and generally impactful, immersive audio. You can also pair your phone to the Sony HT-S2000 via Bluetooth to stream music, and it's phenomenally easy to set up. At £268 this is one of the cheapest prices we've seen it hit, so act fast to bag a big discount.

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) gets a discount down to £335 for Black Friday. It's been cheaper before, hitting £299 in the past, but Sonos discounts are so rare that they're always worth taking advantage of. I love this compact soundbar, which delivers room-filling power, impressive bass, and real attention to detail. It's also a perfect speaker for streaming music over Wi-Fi and can be paired with other Sonos speakers and subwoofers for a full surround sound system.

I recently reviewed the Samsung HW-Q800F, and my, oh my, is this soundbar-sub combo something special. It wowed me with impressive Dolby Atmos effects, incredible low-end output, and exceptionally clean dialogue. It initially launched at £799 in the UK – as you can see over on Samsung's official website – though the original price is shown as £420 on this Amazon listing. So really, you're shaving almost 50% off that launch price, which is phenomenal given the five-star quality on offer.
