Best Cyber Monday Soundbar Deals: Upgrade Your TV With Sonos, Bose, LG and More

A TV usually offers high-quality visuals, but audio is normally an afterthought. Your TV's built-in speakers can't give you a fully immersive experience, so if you want better sound for your setup at home, you need to invest in an external speaker setup. In an ideal world, you'd go with a full surround system, but those can be quite expensive, or difficult to place in a small living room. That's where soundbars come in. 

They're the simplest way to beef up the sound of your entertainment system. And some models are surprisingly affordable, especially when you factor in all the great Cyber Monday deals we're seeing. 

More than a dozen of CNET's shopping experts are spending hundreds of hours each week this month analyzing thousands of offers from all the biggest retailers and we're reporting them right here. We'll be paying special attention to products that we've tested and we'll be updating this list as the days roll on, so check back later if you don't see the deal you've been waiting for.

Why should I invest in a soundbar?

TV speakers 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 Cyber Monday a good time to buy a soundbar?

Cyber Monday tends to be a great time to buy top tech at a discount. We've seen significant soundbar savings at Walmart's Cyber Monday and Best Buy's Cyber Monday sales.
