The best early-day deals on Soundbars

Modern TVs have sleek designs, forcing the speakers to be placed on the sides or bottom of the unit. This often results in unsatisfactory audio experiences, but you can mitigate this by pairing it with a high-quality soundbar. Amazon Prime’s big deal days are still days away (October 8-9), but year-round reviews by our experts have helped us narrow down five early soundbar deals you can cash in on.

It’s hard to imagine a list of the best soundbars without JBL. The JBL Bar 1300X has an 11.1.4-channel setup, easily detachable wireless satellites, and a large 12-inch subwoofer that envelops listeners in powerful sound. 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 packs a lot of power and an experience very immersive”. If you’re looking for a great movie or sports experience at home and have a few extra bucks to spend, look no further. Get this for $300 off.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly soundbar that you can connect to your smartphone for music and your TV for movies and shows, the Polk Audio Signa S2 should be your top choice. It comes with reliable Bluetooth connectivity, a 5.1-channel setup and a wireless subwoofer that delivers good bass sounds. Our experts gave the Signa S1 and Signa S3 both an “Excellent” 4.0, so rest assured, the Signa 2 will not disappoint. You can get this right now for a whopping 32% off.

The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround Soundbar uses multi-beam 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 works well for both film and music. But the lack of user-adjustable parameters beyond three bass settings means it can sometimes be difficult to find the ideal sound signature for a certain movie or song. For the price, though, the Bar 5.1 Surround represents a solid deal,” says our expert. You can claim this soundbar now for a whopping $200 off.

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