Quit using your TV’s built-in speakers to watch content. You’re missing out on so much witty dialog and punchy explosions because that skinny TV doesn’t have enough room for real audio. Right now, you can save $100 on the Sonos Ray entry-level soundbar, which brings the price down to a very reasonable $179. It’s compact. It sounds great for its size and price. And it’s easy to install.

Sonos Ray – Black – Compact Soundbar $179 (was $279)

It lacks a microphone, but offers on-device controls.

Sonos rarely offers discounts on its gear. That makes this $100 cut surprising. For $179, you get a full-featured soundbar with Wi-Fi, touch controls, Apple AirPlay 2, and some of the best voice performance you’ll find in a soundbar of this size. It’s great for smaller rooms or people who live in apartments and don’t want to get kicked out for watching Vin Diesel movies too loudly. Sonos has had some issues with its app recently, but I have been using the Sonos Beam soundbar (also on-sale) with zero issue the whole time.

Sonos Beam Gen 2 – Black – Soundbar with Dolby Atmos $399 (was $499)

If you have a slightly bigger room or you want more sound out of your soundbar, consider stepping up to the Beam. It offers more power as well as Dolby Atmos compatibility for surround sound performance. This has been my daily driver when I’m not testing other soundbars and I’ve really enjoyed it. It makes dialog so clear that I almost don’t need the closed captions on when I’m watching stuff (almost).
