Whether you’re looking to bring cinema sound to your living room or simply upgrade your TV’s cruddy speakers, Amazon Prime Day 2022 is the perfect time to pick up a steeply discounted soundbar. Prime Day is now over, but there are still plenty of discounts available from the likes of Bose, LG, Polk Audio, Roku, and more.
Note: Prime Day is over and many of these soundbar deals may be unavailable.

Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop Prime Day Deals?
Yes, but there’s a workaround.
Amazon Prime costs $139 a year or $14.99 a month, and that includes free shipping for Prime items, access to Amazon Prime Video streaming, your pick of Prime Day deals, and other perks.
The good news is that you can still participate in Prime Day by signing up for a free one-month Amazon Prime trial. When Prime Day is over, just cancel the free trial, and you’re good to go.
