Cyber Monday soundbar deals: our predictions
Should you wait for a Cyber Monday soundbar deal?
Cyber Monday soundbar deals were available before November 28, with some discounted before Black Friday itself (November 25) arrived. Still, most of those deals carried over from Black Friday to its successor, which was to be expected.
According to a report from Adobe Analytics, the average TV price hit a low on Cyber Monday 2021. That cost rose at the start of December, before falling once more in mid-December. Of course, this data isn't directly about soundbars, but, soundbars usually follow the pricing of TVs very closely, because the two are (often literally) connected.
This doesn't mean that you have to wait until Cyber Monday or early December to buy a soundbar, but it does mean that you can be patient. If you can't see the soundbar you'd like now at a great price, then there's a good chance it'll be reduced on Cyber Monday or in early December.
When will the best Cyber Monday soundbar deals start in 2022?
Cyber Monday is over for another year, but there are still lots of deals available - we’re rounding them up in our best soundbar deals page.
What Cyber Monday soundbar deals do we expect to see in 2022?
Soundbar deals we expect to see this year fall mostly into two categories: deals below $500, and deals below $1,000.
In the below $500 category, brands like Vizio and Polk Audio will compete to provide the lowest price. If you're just looking for a cheap soundbar that'll improve your audio set-up, then you may be able to pick up a soundbar for as little as $60. Above this, brands like Samsung, LG and, Sony will provide affordable soundbars with subwoofers for under $500.
If you're looking for something better than basic, then you'll need to shop in the second category. Here, there'll likely be an interesting split. Great options from the likes of Sony, LG, and Samsung will become available for anywhere upwards of $500, while there will be premium systems priced above $1,000 even with Cyber Monday price cuts of several hundred dollars.
If you're searching for something in the middle of that range, then you'll be pleased to know that we expect to see some Dolby Atmos soundbars become available at around $750, with Samsung and LG being the hottest names here. Some of these may even be available for as little as $500.
This year, we also hope to see something very rare: discounts on Sonos soundbars. Don't expect big 40% discounts, but it looks like there will be some Cyber Monday Sonos deals this time.
Tips for buying a soundbar on Cyber Monday
What specs should I look for when buying a soundbar on Cyber Monday?
Whether you want to build your dream home cinema, or you're looking for a more reliable audio source to accompany your TV, choosing the best soundbar for you can be difficult.
The newest and best TVs are getting slimmer and slimmer, which means there’s less room for built-in speakers. That's where soundbars come in, as they bring great audio to your new TV.
You’ll want to keep an eye out for features like Bluetooth, which enables easy wireless connection with compatible devices like your smartphone, tablet, or PC. For audiophiles, you’ll need to pay attention to the quality of a soundbar’s subwoofers and tweeters, depending on the amount of bass or high frequency sound you’re after.
Then there’s Dolby Atmos. Considered amongst the best for soundbars on the market, Dolby Atmos creates a 3D audio space for stunningly realistic entertainment. The sound isn’t limited to channels either, so it can be positioned and moved precisely in a 3D field.
Our guide to the best soundbars on the market right now will give you a more detailed idea of what makes a soundbar worth buying, but rest assured, that typically the higher the price, the better the audio quality.
3 best soundbars to watch out for on Cyber Monday
This is a relatively new soundbar from Samsung, but it's already had a significant price cut to make it one of the best deals around. It gives you a soundbar, subwoofer and two rear speakers, creating a stunning dome of Dolby Atmos sound that nothing else matches for the price.
We hope to see it drop to around $999 in the US – for that price, it'll be an incredible upgrade.

This hits an excellent sweet spot for features compared to price: it uses Dolby Atmos for a very tall and wide soundscape with impressive positional audio. Plus, it features an HDMI passthrough port and has Bluetooth for streaming.
It's another one that's lowered in price over time, but we'd expect another $50 off its current $400 price – it's an older model, and Sony has newer soundbars, so it's in prime position to get a Cyber Monday push.

The Sonos Arc delivers excellently dynamic sound with reasonable bass in a single-unit, meaning no subwoofer or rear speakers (but you can add both from Sonos' range in the future, if you want). It supports Dolby Atmos and has upfiring and sidefiring speakers that deliver really immersive sound. Plus, its balance is excellent and it's the only one we've mentioned that's as good with music as it is with movies.
Traditionally, Sonos products don't get much of a discount – but right now we're seeing over $100 off it, and these reductions could go higher on Cyber Monday.
