Best soundbar deals 2026: Sonos, Samsung, Sony and more

Sonos Ray $280 $219 at Amazon (save $61)

Sony HT-A3000 $699 $498 at Sweetwater (save $201)
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.
