Samsung HW-Q700B: was $697.99 now $367.99 at Amazon
We rate this as the best soundbar for most people. We gave it five stars in our Samsung HW-Q700B review, saying "The HW-Q700B punches well above its weight when it comes to performance and functionality, particularly if you can pick one up for less than list price". And guess what – this is the lowest price it's ever been! With real upfiring drivers for Dolby Atmos height effects and a great subwoofer, this is a fantastic value.

Bose Smart Soundbar 300: was $449 now $294 at Amazon
With five drivers, this packs a lot of sound into a small bar – and rather than focusing on 'virtual' Dolby Atmos or other tricks, they're all just focused on delivering clarity and a wider soundstage. It connects to your TV over HDMI or optical, and there's Bluetooth for listening to music. We haven't tested this bar, but we gave its big brother five stars in our Bose Smart Soundbar 600 review, so we think this is likely to be a great TV audio upgrade for the price. This is the cheapest it's ever been, too.

LG S80QY 3.1.3-channel soundbar: was $899.99 now $446.99 at Amazon
Amazon has some great Prime Day deals going on LG’s Dolby Atmos soundbars, but the one that caught our eye is this 50% discount on the S80QY, a 3.1.3-channel model from 2022. When we reviewed the S80QY, we found it to have a solid set of features for the cost, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing plus an upfiring center channel speaker that helped elevate dialogue to screen level. It sounded good for the money then, and at this price it’s an amazing deal.

Sony HT-A5000: was $999 now $698 at Amazon
A competitor to the Sonos Arc, this soundbar packs Dolby Atmos sound from real upfiring and side-firing speakers, with Sony's excellent processing tech helping to make sure it gives strong positional sound from a single bar. With no subwoofer, it's designed be as simple and big-sounding as possible. One of the best features here is HDMI 2.1, including passthrough for 4K 120Hz signals, making this Sony ideal for gaming.

Yamaha SR-B20A: was $199.95 now $149.95 at Amazon
Looking for a small, simple and great home theater upgrade? Yamaha makes excellent soundbars, and we rated this one highly in our Yamaha SR-B20A review for delivering clearer, fuller, more exciting sound than a TV alone can. There's no separate subwoofer here – it's a compact all-in-one box.

Samsung HW-S800B: was £569 now £332.49 at Amazon
This ultra-slim soundbar somehow offers incredible Dolby Atmos positional sound – it's up there with the high-end stuff – yet it takes up about a quarter of the volume of the Sonos Arc. Its minimalist design will make it a much more popular option than the Arc for a lot of living rooms, and it deserves to be popular, as our full Samsung HW-S800B review says. And this is the cheapest it's ever been – as long as your TV is 55 inches or up, and you don't need an HDMI passthrough port, this is a fantastic deal.

Bose Smart Soundbar 600: was £499 now £399 at Amazon
In our guide to the best Dolby Atmos soundbars, we rate this as the best small option for impressive Atmos dynamic sound – and at 25% off, it's even better. You can read more about why we love it in our full Bose Smart Soundbar 600 review, but basically: it's Bose's usual attention to sound quality, in a smaller and more compact space, with no major compromises. Perfect!

Samsung HW-Q990B: was £1,299 now £849 at Amazon
In our best soundbars guide, we rate this as the best option for creating a totally immersive Dolby Atmos bubble of sound. Nothing does it better, thanks to 16 channels in total – its truly like a full home cinema from four boxes, as our Samsung HW-Q990B review explains. And this is basically the cheapest it's ever been (we've seen it for about £30 less in the past). What a deal.

Sony HT-A3000: was £599 now £499 at Amazon
The goal of this soundbar is to basically be a smaller, cheaper Sonos Arc – so you get Dolby Atmos sound from a single bar with no subwoofer, but that that still has good bass. It has 3.1 channels, but uses virtualization to make it sound like more – and Sony is very effective at that, in our experience. We don't have a full review of this soundbar, but if you want an all-in-one bar with great clarity, Sony is always good for that. This price is the next-lowest it's been – and a 25% reduction on its regular cost.
