The first Labor Day sales of the week are here and if you're in the market for a new soundbar, one of our favorite budget speakers is getting a serious price cut.
For a limited time, Sam's Club has the Yamaha True X Bar 40A Soundbar on sale for $159. That's $240 off and one of the best deals we've seen on this soundbar. For more deals, make sure to checkout our Labor Day sales guide.
At full price, the True X Bar 40A Soundbar is a solid mid-range soundbar for the money. Now that it's on sale, it's become an ever bigger bargain. In our Yamaha True X Bar 40A review, we said it delivers immersive Dolby Atmos sound and impressive frequency response for well under $500.
The True X Bar 40A offers dedicated drivers for the left and right channels, along with two dedicated height drivers and two three-inch woofers for bass. It isn't going to compete with much more expensive soundbars, but for the price, it offers solid performance overall. This was true no matter what we watched or listened to. When watching a movie with lots of sound effects like “Deadpool 2,” the soundbar was able to pump out decent bass for things like gunshots and made for a more immersive listening experience than I expected. However, if you're a big bass fan you may want to purchase the optional subwoofer as it'll help add to the low end.
Overall, it delivers a solid frequency response, and the Atmos effect certainly helps with the immersiveness. That said, this soundbar is better suited to those with a cozier living room or who plan on using it in a smaller space.
