Everybody knows that the TV speakers just don’t cut it. If you want bigger and better sound for your home system, you’re going to need some sort of external speaker setup. In ideal world, you’d go with a full surround system, but a lot of us can’t quite afford that or just don’t have the room for it. That’s where soundbars come in. They’re the simplest way to beef up the sound of your entertainment system. Some models are surprisingly affordable, especially when you factor in all the great Black Friday deals we’re seeing on soundbars.

Why should I invest in a soundbar?
TV speakers simply don’t deliver big sound these days because our screens have gotten a lot thinner and high quality components simply won’t fit. Additionally, built-in TV speakers often face downward, which can further dilute the sound you hear. A soundbar can really improve your audio, and if you need a little help figuring out which features to look for, be sure to check out our soundbar buying guide.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a soundbar?
Black Friday tends to be a great time to buy top tech at a discount. We’ve already seen significant soundbar savings at Walmart’s Black Friday and Best Buy’s Black Friday sales. We anticipate seeing even more soundbar deals dropping as we get closer to the big day.
