Soundbars come in a range of prices, from downright cheap to expensive – in some cases, a soundbar can cost more than what you paid for your TV! That’s why it’s a good idea to check the deals on Amazon Prime Day, which presents a perfect opportunity to upgrade your TV’s sound with a soundbar.

It can take lots of time to scour Amazon’s site for good deals among the many listings. That’s why I’ve done the work for you, digging up the best deals on the best soundbars featured in Amazon’s sale. These 5 models are all ones TechRadar has reviewed and recommended, so you can rest assured you’ll be getting a good deal on a good soundbar.

If you’re looking for a budget option, you’ll want to check out the Amazon Fire TV soundbar for $94.99. That’s a $25 savings off its regular $119 price and a very good deal on a basic 2.0-channel soundbar that delivers good performance for the money. At the other end of the price spectrum, there’s the Samsung HW-Q990D for $1,497.99 (it was $1,997.99), an unmissable deal on Samsung’s immersive 11.1.4-channel soundbar system, which received a five-star rating from us.

Other soundbars in our list skew toward the more affordable side of the price spectrum, and with these Prime Days deals, they’re almost too good to pass on. Check out our guide to the best soundbars to see other soundbar options, many of which are also getting Prime Day discounts, though maybe not as juicy as the ones listed here.
