Best subwoofer deals: Up the bass for as low as $70

To have a good home theater or audio setup, there are several components you need, including an immersive TV and a good surround sound system to pair with it. And when it comes to creating the ideal audio system, of any kind, you can’t overlook a subwoofer. These units provide an extra bass hit which can make a big difference to your home theater setup when listening to music or watching movies. They allow you to feel every crash, every explosion, and the pound of every punch. When those jets fly overhead, the subwoofer will make your couch tremble as if the engines are right above your house. If you’re adding one to your car, you’ll feel the same but with the kicks and snare of your music. But they’re not cheap, so you can pay hundreds of dollars for a good-quality subwoofer, or even more if you’re looking at high-end options. It is possible to save some cash on top subwoofer brands like Klipsch and Sony by pinpointing the best subwoofer deals, and that’s where we have you covered.

More than just the subwoofer, this surround system includes a versatile soundbar or dual-speaker — it can be split in half — offering a versatile audio system. It does featured Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, so you can connect a phone or tablet, for example. You can also plug your TV in via HDMI ARC, optical, or 3.5 mm audio. The 35W bass woofer delivers a nice little kick.

This attractive cube of sound is a Class D amplifier with a frequency response range of 30Hz to 200kHz. It uses an Inverse Mathematical Equation (IME) filter to increase sound accuracy at the subwoofer-critical low frequencies. The MartinLogan Dynamo 400 is a ported subwoofer, pushing out low levels of distortion even with a higher volume. Of particular note is the clean, easy-to-follow inputs on the backside of the sub.

Polk Audio HTS 10 — $399, was $449

This subwoofer was built with Polk’s “Dynamic Balance Technology” which analyzes the speaker elements for issues that typically lower quality. The result is a subwoofer that will highly complement your surround sound setup. While the sound is the main attraction of this subwoofer (and, admittedly, most others as well) we think you will also appreciate the beauty of the Polk Audio HTS 10’s cabinet.

Sonance MS10SUB — $450, was $600

The Sonance MS10SUB (aka the Sonance Magnolia 10-inch 275W Powered Subwoofer) is made with great crossover control and has a wide frequency response of 27Hz to 250kHz. One thing to note about this subwoofer is its compact size of 11.8 x 11.8 x 12.6 inches. This, combine with its dark, thick cloth grill, means it will fade into the background as the lights go off and the movies turn on.

Klipsch Reference Series 12-inch 400W Powered Subwoofer — $500, was $600

For one of the best subwoofers around, try Klipsch’s 12-inch entry of the Reference Series. It’s powered, meaning it has a built in amp, and features a beautiful spun-copper thermoformed crystalline polymer woofer at the front. When in use it produces strong bass through a front-firing driver. Even when not in use, it will add a certain ambiance to your room with its understated appearance.

AirPods Max -- $480, were $549

The AirPods Max are Apple's first attempt at a set of over-the-ear headphones. They got a lot of things right. We love these headphones, even when compared against some audiophile options that prioritize sound quality. The AirPods Max have awesome noise cancelling. Everything Apple learned with the earbud-style AirPods works even better with the cup style of the AirPods Max. Along with great ANC comes a great transparency mode. With a twist of the Max's massive knob, you'll go from complete silence to feeling like you're not wearing headphones at all. The audio on phone calls is great as well, and they pair better with the iPhone than any non-Apple headphones could ever hope to.

65-inch QN85C Samsung Neo QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,300, was $2,000

We find the QN85C to be sitting at just about the perfect price for a TV right now, while still maintaining the qualities and freshness of a much more quality TV. While it is 4K, it uses mini-LED tech, which allows for fine-tuned light control. Remember that the best QLED TVs are typically renowned more for their brightness than contrast; this tech can tip that need for contrast in the QN85C's favor.
