Samsung HW-C450 2.1 Channel Soundbar

$138 (was $198)

The Samsung HW-C450 2.1 Channel Soundbar is a solid entry point for people seeking an upgrade to their built-in TV speakers. For just $138, it gets you a soundbar, wireless subwoofer, support for DTS Virtual:X, and an adaptive sound feature that automatically optimizes your audio based on the content. There’s also a game mode for improved directional audio. Toss in a remote that works with both Samsung TVs and your soundbar, Bluetooth connectivity, and a bass boost option to enhance the sound of explosions, and the HW-C450 is a great choice during Black Friday.

Samsung HW-C400/ZA 2.0 Channel C-Series Soundbar

$90 (was $120)

With a built-in subwoofer, support for Dolby Audio and DTS, and a useful “night mode” that reduces bass levels, the awkwardly named Samsung HW-C400/ZA is a decent choice at this new low price. The built-in subwoofer is especially nice for small spaces that might not have room for a wireless subwoofer.

Bose TV Soundbar

$199 (was $279)

This compact Bose soundbar is just 24 inches long, but its list of features is more impressive than you’d expect. Along with two angled full-range drivers for booming spatial audio and crisp dialogue, there’s a dedicated “dialogue mode” you can enable to make it easier to pick out words during quiet scenes. Beyond connecting to your TV, the soundbar supports Bluetooth connections–consider syncing it with your phone for your next party.

Samsung HW-Q600C 3.1.2 Channel Q-Series Soundbar

$330 (was $600)

This is one of our favorite deals for a premium soundbar, as it’s hard to beat the $270 price cut. Along with a wireless subwoofer, this soundbar supports Dolby Atmos, Q-Symphony, and offers a Game Mode Pro setting that improves its 360-degree audio. Toss in a nifty remote that works with both Samsung TVs and this soundbar, adaptive sound support for clearer dialogue, and easy setup with HDMI eARC, and it’s easy to see why this is one of our favorite soundbar deals of Black Friday.

Vizio V-Series 2.0 Compact Soundbar

$55 (was $80)

At just 24 inches long, this Vizio is a good size for small setups. It’s also great for shoppers on a budget, as it packs in some great specs despite a price tag of just over $50. With support for Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X plus two full-range speakers, it should be a big improvement over most built-in TV speakers.
