Black Friday soundbar deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday soundbar deals start in 2024?
While it’s common to see the best Black Friday soundbar deals drop on Black Friday proper, discounts in general start arriving in October for electronics, soundbars among them.
To cite just one example, the popular Sonos Arc soundbar dropped from $899 to $719 in the US and to £699 in the UK during the 2023 Black Friday selling season before popping back to full price. Sonos products don’t often get discounts that large, so Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to get a good Sonos deal. But deals on other soundbars should arrive even earlier, so if you see a compelling soundbar deal arrive in the run-up to Black Friday, don’t be afraid to jump on it.
Where will the best Black Friday soundbar deals be?
The best deals will be found at the sources we’ve linked above, of course, with Amazon being a key destination for Black Friday soundbar sales on a wide range of brands. The online seller even has its own soundbar, and we expect that to get a nice discount alongside the company’s Fire TVs.
Beyond Amazon, Best Buy is a great source of Black Friday soundbar deals in the US, and John Lewis, which specializes in TV and soundbar bundles, is a go-to source in the UK.
What Black Friday soundbar deals should I expect?
Both Samsung and LG routinely drop prices on their soundbar systems during Black Friday sales, with everything from simple compact models to the most advanced Dolby Atmos systems getting a discount. Several budget brands have also recently jumped on the soundbar-making wagon.
We mentioned Amazon above, but Roku, TCL, Hisense, and Vizio all also sell soundbars to accompany their TVs, and we expect to see these already affordable models get compelling discounts.
Bose will also sell its soundbars at a discount, and any money you save on specific models like the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 can be spent on one of its subwoofers or wireless surround speakers for a more elaborate and immersive audio experience.
