Our favorite small soundbar just went on sale

Tested By Digital Trends Bose Smart Soundbar.
Bose

We’re always on the lookout for great soundbar deals because no TV should live without one of these plug-and-play devices. Brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony have been producing soundbars for years, but we’re always partial to the tech released by dedicated audio companies. As luck would have it, we came across this Bose offer earlier today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Bose Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos through Amazon, Best Buy, Crutchfield, and other retailers, you’ll only wind up paying $450 when this model usually sells for $500. We named this the “best small soundbar” in our ranking of the best soundbars of 2025.

Why you should buy the Bose Smart Soundbar

While it may not look like much of a sound system, the Bose Smart Soundbar is perfectly capable of filling small to medium-sized rooms with immersive audio. And thanks to Bose’s TruePlay technology, the soundbar can be calibrated to best match your room acoustics. With its multi-driver design (two of which are designed to fire sound up and back down) and Dolby Atmos support, the Bose Smart is able to virtualize a full Atmos configuration. From floor to ceiling, no corner of your theater will be left without sound waves!

With its built-in Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities, you’ll also be able to use the Bose Smart Soundbar as a smart speaker. Whether you want to check the weather, stream your go-to playlists, or control smart home devices, Alexa and Bose have got you covered. Other noteworthy features include Bose’s AI Dialogue Mode for enhanced conversation clarity.

We tested the previous generation of the Bose Smart Soundbar (the Bose Smart Soundbar 600), and reviewer Simon Cohen said: “For small-to-medium-sized rooms, it’s got all the presence and punch you need.”

Order the Bose Smart Soundbar while it’s still $50 off, and be sure to check out our lists of the best Bose deals and best Bluetooth speaker deals for even more markdowns on top audio devices!

Get the original Sonos Arc soundbar while it’s $250 off
Sonos Arc Dolby Atmos Soundbar in white

A complete surround sound system is hard to beat, but the reality is that not all of us apartment dwellers and homeowners have the time, energy, and funds to put into wiring a full 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos configuration. Fortunately, soundbars like the Sonos Arc are able to deliver the kind of full-scale sound you’d expect from a bigger speaker setup, and you can say goodbye to all that pesky speaker wire, too!

For those unaware, the Sonos Arc Ultra was released just a few months ago, which means the original Sonos Arc soundbar is getting the sales treatment. Right now, when you purchase the Sonos Arc through Amazon, Best Buy, or B&H Photo-Video, you’ll only pay $650. The full MSRP on this model is $900.

The Insignia F50 Series QLED 4K TV with the Amazon Fire TV interface on the screen.

At its original price of $450, the 65-inch Insignia F50 Series 4K TV is already pretty affordable for its size. However, you can currently get it with a $150 discount from Best Buy, which drops its price to just $300. If you're on the hunt for TV deals to upgrade your home theater setup, but you don't want to go overboard with your spending, this is an offer you wouldn't want to miss. You need to act fast in completing your transaction though, as we're not sure how much time is remaining before this 4K TV's price returns to normal.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Insignia F50 Series 4K TV
The Insignia F50 Series 4K TV is the first smart TV that's powered by Amazon's Fire TV platform with a quantum dot-based display, which offers improved color accuracy, a larger color volume, and better vibrancy. Alongside 4K Ultra HD resolution for sharp details, support for all the most advanced HDR formats, and Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for a cinematic experience, this 65-inch TV will deliver memorable nights of entertainment for the whole family.

Now that CES 2025 is wrapping up, we have a solid idea of what home theater tech is on the horizon. And, like clockwork, many of the best sets of 2024 are already going on sale, likely to make way for the new fleet. One brand that made waves at this year’s CES was TCL, so it makes perfect sense that the company’s 2024 flagship QLED dropped in price.

Right now, if you purchase the TCL 65-inch QM8 Series (2024) at Walmart, you’ll only wind up paying $950. The full MSRP on this set is $1,400, and the $450 you’ll save can go toward one of the best soundbar deals of the week! Both Amazon and Best Buy are selling the 65-inch QM8 Series (2024) for a reduced price too, though the Walmart offer is $50 cheaper.
