If you want to improve the audio output of your home theater setup, the obvious solution is to buy from soundbar deals. There’s not much room for high-quality speakers within the slim designs of today’s TVs, so soundbars are becoming a necessity. They range from basic equipment to complete surround sound systems, but whatever you’re looking for, you wouldn’t want to miss the discounts that you can get from the bargains that we’ve rounded up below. Check out our guide on how to buy a soundbar, then dive into these deals and make your purchase quickly as these offers may not last long.

The Sony S100F 2.0-channel soundbar is as simple as soundbars can come, with two channels — the standard left and right — that you can link to your TV through an HDMI ARC connection or to your mobile devices through Bluetooth. It may have a compact design, but it will deliver improved audio quality while you’re watching TV shows or movies, and it features Sony’s S-Force Pro Front Surround technology that fills your room with sound.

Vizio V-Series 5.1-channel soundbar — $189, was $219

The Vizio V-Series 5.1-channel soundbar is one of the cheapest ways of getting multiple channels for your audio. With five channels — the standard left and right, a center channel for improved dialog clarity, and two additional channels for surround sound — and the presence of a wireless subwoofer for extra bass, you’ll be getting powerful performance that you wouldn’t believe would be coming from such an affordable soundbar. The soundbar connects through HDMI ARC or Bluetooth, and you can also use it to issue voice commands to other smart home devices that are powered by digital assistants.
