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.
