11 best Cyber Monday soundbar deals with Dolby Atmos from just $149: Bose, Samsung, JBL and more
Cyber Monday is officially here, and it's brought some awesome soundbar deals along with it. The best soundbars with Dolby Atmos are expensive, so it's even more important to grab them when they're discounted.
I've tested 15 soundbars this year, ranging from $1,700 JBL setups to $67 uber-budget TV speaker replacements, and I've rounded up the 11 best Cyber Monday soundbar deals for your viewing pleasure. All of these soundbars have Dolby Atmos (except one, which has fake-but-still-good DTS:VirtualX), so let me help you find the cheapest way to transform your living room into a movie theater.
My top recommendation is the Bose Smart Soundbar for just $399 at Amazon. This is my personal soundbar and a great option for the soundbar that can do it all — movies, TV, and music. Or, if you want to save as much as possible, I recommend the unbelievably good value Insignia 5.1.2 Soundbar — you get rear speakers, a subwoofer, and the soundbar itself for just $149 at Best Buy. If we were in a cartoon, my head would have exploded when I found that deal. A full surround system for $149 is incomprehensibly cheap.
But there are more soundbar deals where that came from. Read on to see my favorites.

Considering you get two rears and a subwoofer, $149 for the Insignia 5.1.2 Soundbar feels illegal.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is a great beginner soundbar. With a 3.0.2 channel setup, it has great surround sound, even in shows and movies you least expect it. The soundbar can even upcode non-Atmos content into "fake" suround sound. The dialogue is crisp thanks to Bose's AI dialogue mode, and the bass is surprisingly great when listening to music via AirPlay. Although it's not as room-filling as pricier alternatives, it's a fantastic option. You can even add Bose's Sub 700 ($899) as an extra.
