Best Black Friday Soundbar Deals 2022 – CNET

The best and easiest way to improve the sound quality of your television is to invest in a soundbar. Installation is easy — just a single cable — and with this year’s Black Friday sales, soundbars are affordable too.

The best deal we’ve seen so far is the Roku Streambar — a combo 4K streamer/soundbar which is now $80 (save $50). But that’s not the only good deal to be had in 2022, with $100 off the excellent Polk Signa S3 and $90 off the Dolby Atmos-toting Sonos Beam Gen 2.

A combination soundbar and 4K HDR streamer, Roku’s Streambar is an excellent way to “smartify” a bedroom TV with improved sound and streaming in one fell swoop. This compact speaker will outperform the sound in just about any television, and is especially good at elevating hard-to-understand dialogue.

Another great soundbar, this time from Klipsch, and one with arguably the best design of anything here. The Cinema 400 offers exposed, horn-loaded tweeters and a large subwoofer, but sound quality hasn’t been forgotten either. This soundbar is an excellent performer.

At $500 the Vizio M512a-H6 was already a steal but with an extra $150 off it’s the best Dolby Atmos deal available for this holiday season. It offers dedicated height channels as well as a powerful sub and surround sound. It sounds better than anything else under $500.
