This soundbar and subwoofer package from Riowois is one of the best options if you’re shopping on a tight budget. It’s normally quite affordable at $109, but right now it’s on sale for just $63.

One of our favorite things about the Riowois package is its design. AT 29 inches long, the soundbar is very small, fitting easily on a cluttered TV stand. The woofer is similarly well-sized, making it easy to tuck discreetly in a corner of the room.

Sony HT-A5000 Sound Bar — $202 Off
One great way to take advantage of tech sales is to save big on premium devices. This Sony HT-A5000 soundbar, for example, is a high-end option that’s been marked down a whopping $200 ahead of the Prime Early Access sale.
The standout feature of the HT-A5000 is its ability to fill an entire room with crisp, loud sound. One way that it accomplishes this better than others is with spatial sound mapping, which learns the acoustics of your room and projects sound accordingly.
You also get a more accurate audio response time thanks to the speaker’s passthrough capabilities, which let you run audio from your game console or streaming device through the speaker to the TV, instead of through the TV and then to the speaker.
