The best soundbar deals 2026: Sonos, Sony, JBL, Samsung and more
Big savings on some of the best soundbars for your TV
Black Friday may be well and truly behind us, but that doesn't mean you can't find some deals on some of the best TV kit in town. And that fact applies to the soundbar category, as we have spotted some truly eye-popping deals on our favourite models.
Soundbars are a great way to upgrade your TV's sub-par sound performance, taking up less space and often coming in cheaper than a full multi-speaker system.
Our team of experts review home cinema kit for a living, including countless soundbars each year. That means we know which models are worth your hard-earned cash, as well as being able to sort the good deals from the bad.
In this handy guide, you will find the best deals on products we know are top performers. From premium soundbar systems to more affordable single bars, there is something for everyone.
Almost all of the models in this list have been reviewed by the What Hi-Fi? team, and we have checked every soundbar's price history to make sure the deal offers a genuine discount.

Best soundbar deals £100 to £250
Samsung S50B £280 £129 at Amazon (save £154)
A Dolby Atmos soundbar at this price is practically unheard of, and while we haven't tested this Samsung option, we also can't overlook this deal. With eARC, wireless streaming and support for Atmos and Virtual DTS:X, this 3.0 channel bar might be a Prime Day hidden gem.

The Hisense AX5125H is a complete soundbar package, consisting of a main soundbar, subwoofer and two surround speakers. It's certainly the best system under £250 we have tested, and at this price it is even more of a bargain. Get this discount by using the code TV20 at checkout.

Sonos Ray £279 £169 at Amazon (save £110)
Sonos's most accessible soundbar is a convenient way of drastically upgrading your TV's sound. This bar features only an optical connection but if this isn't a dealbreaker, it makes up for any shortcomings with an energetic upbeat sound and the streaming smarts you would expect of a Sonos product.

JBL Bar 300 £350 £229 at Richer Sounds (save £121)
JBL has produced a budget soundbar that is stylish, feature-packed, and Dolby Atmos compatible. All at a price that undercuts most rivals, too. The similarly priced Sony HT-S2000 sounds notably better, however – but if your heart is set on a JBL soundbar, this is a solid choice.

Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 6 was £499 now £344 at Amazon (save £155)
With the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 6 you get a hefty 'bar (96cdm wide and 11cm deep), as well as a dedicated subwoofer. With weighty, room-filling sound and impressive height effects, it's certainly not subtle but it will deliver sofa-shaking explosions.

Sony HT-S40R £350 £299 at Amazon (save £51)
Not one we have tested, but wireless 5.1 systems at this price don't come along every day. The catch is that it isn't completely wireless, requiring an included compact wireless amplifier to power the rear speakers. But, if you have the space to house it, this looks to be a decent compact system with Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, a USB port, plus optical and analogue inputs.
Sonos Beam Gen 2 £449 £388 at Amazon (save £61)
Sonos's impressive mid-level soundbar is a top-notch performer, especially at this price. Being a Sonos product, WiFi is on board as is HDMI eARC and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
