A good soundbar can transform your TV experience. Whether you're watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster, binging a Netflix series or are serious about dialogue-heavy indie flicks, a soundbar will help ensure that what you hear enhances the on-screen action. They're not as effective as a full surround sound system, but they're simpler, more compact and generally cheaper, especially with one of these deals.

If you have been putting off beefing up your home cinema sound system because of cost, then good news! Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is here, meaning more deals than ever.

Here's our pick of the best deals from online retailers on a selection of sound-boosting TV soundbar solutions. Oh, and don't forget, we've also got a dedicated best soundbars buying guide, and a special feature which will show you how to choose and set up a soundbar, so there'll be no issues when it arrives.

Best soundbar deals $250 to $500

Sony HT-A3000 was $699 now $479 at Best Buy (save $220)
The petite Dolby Atmos-capable HT-A3000 scored a commendable four stars when it passed through our test room. While we think the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) might just have the edge on it, it serves up plenty of detail and has a great tonal balance that makes it a solid choice if you're looking for Atmos under $500.

Samsung Q700A Dolby Atmos soundbar was $365now $200 at Walmart (save $165)

Samsung Q700A Dolby Atmos soundbar was $365 now $200 at Walmart (save $165)
We haven't tested this step-down model from the Q800A, but Dolby Atmos soundbars at this price don't come up very often. Like its big sibling, this is a 3.1.2 system with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support and the same excellent connectivity. The main bar is even the same size as the Q800A, but the sub is slightly smaller, indicating the low-end performance may not be as punchy. If you're not all about the bass though, this could be the perfect bargain.

JBL Bar 500 was $600 now $400 at Amazon (save $200)
We haven't tested out JBL's 500 soundbar system, however, we have tested the more affordable 300 soundbar, which earned a four-star review. It's a standalone 'bar and cost $400 at the time, which is the same price as this soundbar and subwoofer combo.

Sony HT-S2000 was $500 now $300 at Best Buy (save $200)
Sony's affordable Dolby Atmos soundbar delivers the goods with a crisp, clear sound and impressive dynamics. Sony has stripped out the streaming functionality on this soundbar to hit the low price, but Bluetooth is still onboard and we find this plug-and-play soundbar to be rather refreshing.

Samsung HW-Q600A was $600 now $540 at Best Buy (save $60)

Samsung HW-Q600A was $600 now $540 at Best Buy (save $60)
A premium Atmos soundbar at a not-so-premium price right now. We've been impressed with Samsung's form in the Atmos soundbar market of late, so we reckon the Q600A at only $540 is a safe bet for those looking to sweeten up their TV system.

Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus was $1500 now $1200 at Crutchfield (save $300)
Sennheiser's Ambeo Plus impresses with a wide, spacious soundfield, excellent musical ability and a fine spread of useful features and connectivity options. HDMI inputs are included as are a number of different steaming options, from Bluetooth to Spotify Connect. The Ambeo Plus sits among the best Dolby Atmos soundbars at this level.

Sennheiser Ambeo Max was $2500 now $1800 at Crutchfield (save $700)
Standing over four feet wide, Sennheiser's Ambeo is not for the faint of heart or short of space. But it sounds sensational and boasts Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. Relatively expensive by soundbar standards, but worth investigating if you can get a discount.

    Picked-up the SONY HT-A7000 soundbar, SA-RS5 rear surrounds & SA-SW5 sub. during SONY’s pre-Xmas promotion to partner existing SONY Bravia XR 4K UHD TV. Combined with price match offer, saved over £900- on SONY UK MSRP.

    Despite it’s class leading connectivity, functionality & sonic performance - particularly with respect to movies & TV - i doubt that i’d be willing to part with much more if I was shopping around now. And probably not at SONY’s current prices.

    Although complex movie scenes, dialogue & soundtracks are handled with aplomb, i do think there are a few soundbar & sub. options, a couple of them for significantly less, that offer slightly better replay of stereo or multi-channel music.
