Best soundbar deals under $250
Sonos Ray $280 $169 at Amazon (save $111)
The Ray is Sonos' only non-Atmos soundbar. Instead, it focuses on delivering crisp stereo audio in a compact shell, opting to ditch HDMI eARC for optical in the process. It's a simple, yet efficient soundbar, and ideal for someone who just wants hassle-free improved TV sound.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) was $499 now $369 at Target (save $130)

Sony HT-A3000 $699 $480 at Best Buy (save $219)
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.

Sony HT-S2000 $500 $298 at Amazon (save $202)
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-Q990D $2000 $1500 at Amazon (save $500)
Our favourite Dolby Atmos soundbar system, the Samsung HW-Q990D is what our expert reviews team called "a hugely compelling package overall" thanks to its big, immersive and three-dimensional sound. It's not only a superb choice for movie enthusiasts but also gamers courtesy of its twin 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 inputs.
What Hi-Fi? Award-winner
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.
