We’re getting closer to Black Friday, which means we’re going to start seeing even more sales on top tech items, including the best TVs and best soundbars. We’ve been doing our best to highlight early Black Friday soundbar deals, but this JBL promo is a discount you don’t want to miss: Right now, when you purchase the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this model sells for $400.

You’ll want to take advantage of these early Black Friday Best Buy deals whenever you can, because it’s some of the best pricing you’ll find on popular tech items all year! We tested this soundbar a while back, and our reviewer had the following to say: “This single-speaker soundbar is the easiest way to add Dolby Atmos to your TV.”

Why you should buy the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam

This five-channel MultiBeam soundbar is a great Dolby Atmos emulator, making it easy to enjoy the thrills of a complete surround system without all the speaker wires and amplifiers. Not only does this JBL decode Atmos signals, but it also leans on JBL’s MultiBeam tech to beam audio to every nook and cranny of your viewing space. From floor to ceiling, every square inch of real estate will have sound bouncing around in it!

The JBL MultiBeam soundbar uses HDMI eARC and digital optical to send all your TV audio directly to the soundbar, and it also has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. With the latter, you’ll be able to use Chromecast, AirPlay, and Alexa Multi-Room Audio to listen to your favorite playlists and podcasts. The 5.0-channel MultiBeam uses a simple racetrack design, which allows the soundbar to sit nice and flush with your TV (whether it’s sitting on a table or mounted to the wall).

We’re not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, but most doorbuster deals tend to vanish pretty quickly. That said, today might be the best day to grab the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam at Best Buy. You may also want to check out our list of Best Buy Black Friday TV deals, too.

We tested the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) a while ago, and AV expert Simon Cohen had the following to say: “Dolby Atmos adds a splash of 3D fun to an already excellent soundbar.”

Should you buy the WH-1000XM5 or WF-1000XM5 deal for Black Friday?
A WF-1000XM5 case nestled into a WH-1000XM5's ear cup.

Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony's quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.

As a self-described "audiophobe" (I crave silence the way others crave deep bass beats), I've been tempted by Sony's WF-1000XM5 after experiencing the peace and quiet of the WH-1000XM5 headphones. And at their current price of $230, which is $70 down from the usual $300, they were an easy pickup for me. But, with the WH-1000XM5 — the headphones that consistently sit at the top or our best headphones list — down to $300 from a usual price of $400, are the WF-1000XM5 really the best deal for you to pick up at the moment? As someone who owns them both, I'm going to give you the case for picking out each pair.
