Now that Black Friday is in full swing, there are plenty of Dolby Atmos soundbars at tempting discounts across a variety of retailers. But the majority will set you back over £100, and the more premium models on the market can still cost more than £2000.

If you are looking for a great soundbar that doesn't cost the earth and can upgrade your home cinema set-up, you're in luck.

The Sharp HT-SB700 is available for just £93 at Amazon, making it the lowest ever price we have seen on this budget bar. Considering its cost and size, this Sharp model provides an impressive sense of scale to give your movie nights extra oomph.

While this model doesn't reach the same levels of immersion and precision as more pricey Atmos soundbars such as the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), it still surpasses our expectations considering its affordable price tag.

In our Sharp HT-SB700 review we say: “The midrange delivers a mostly full-bodied and rich sound that provides an easy listening experience.”

We also highlight that there is “a decent level of detail present” and note that, “For such a small product, it packs a surprisingly big punch.” Not bad for a soundbar at this price.

As for its Dolby Atmos delivery, we found that: “While its execution of Dolby Atmos is not the most precise, the Sharp HT-SB700 does succeed in delivering some of the atmosphere,” so it by no means disgraces itself here either.

In terms of connectivity, the Sharp model has an HDMI eARC port, an optical digital input as well as Bluetooth capabilities.

Under the hood of the 2.0.2 speaker system, you will find two forward-facing drivers at the front, as well as two up-firers at either end. Its dimensions are 7.2 x 52 x 11cm (hwd) and it weighs just 1.9kg, making it easy to position in front of your TV and move around.

All of that makes it a great choice if you are looking to upgrade your TV's sound while working within a tight budget this Black Friday.
