The best Black Friday soundbar deals in 2025: upgrade your audio for less

It's hard to appreciate until you've tried it, but buying a soundbar can be the one purchase that palpably upgrades your gaming experience. These TV- or PC- compatible speaker bars offer much greater sound fidelity than screens' built-in panels, and over Black Friday they can also be subject to some heart discounts.

If you didn't know, Black Friday is now and so the soundbar deals are live now. Currently, we're seeing major price cuts in audio products from a range of major companies like JBL, Amazon, Roku and Bose. If you've already picked up a Black Friday TV deal, this will be the perfect accompaniment to it.

Since I've tested soundbars and other speakers from a few major companies, I've gone through the Black Friday soundbar deals to find you a few picks worth considering. I'll order them from cheapest to most expensive, of course with the latter bringing you amazing audio but the first few being great for their price.

Just a note, on something that confused me before I covered audio. When you see a soundbar billed as 2.0, or 5.1, or 7.1, those numbers aren't some arbitrary grading system.

They in fact refer to the number of channels, and its ratio of full-range ones to subwoofers (the latter used for bass). So 5.1 means 5 normal speakers, one bass one. Generally, more is better, but most audio fans want some bass too, and only cheaper options are .2.
