I test soundbars, and these 3 Dolby Atmos soundbars are getting great Prime Day deals
Amazon Prime Day sales are here, running October 7-8, and I’ve been scouring the listings to find the best deals on the best Dolby Atmos soundbars. Some great deals are happening now at Amazon, and three in particular that caught my eye are: the Sony HT-S2000 for $298, and £289.99 in the UK; the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus for $149.99, and £169.99 in the UK; and the Sonos Beam Gen 2 for $369, and £327 in the UK.

Those are great deals on soundbars that typically sell for quite a bit more, though all are still in the budget soundbar range, selling for under $500/£500 at regular prices.
Each of these is a compact soundbar that delivers virtual Dolby Atmos processing. They can all be expanded on by adding optional wireless surround speakers and subwoofers, and they all connect to your TV via HDMI eARC.

The Sony HT-S2000 is a 3.1-channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. It has Bluetooth wireless streaming for music, delivers clear dialogue, and has Sony’s S-Force processing to upmix stereo signals for surround sound. The HT-S2000 is TechRadar’s top budget soundbar pick, and is a great choice for anyone looking to affordably upgrade their TV’s sound.
The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is another 3.1-channel soundbar that delivers good sound for cheap. Like the Sony, it has both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support and Bluetooth streaming for music. Its performance falls a bit short compared to the Sony HT-S2000, but it’s also a solid sound upgrade for your TV, and an inexpensive one.
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is available in black or white and features virtual Dolby Atmos processing. One advantage of the Beam Gen 2 is that it uses Wi-Fi for music streaming, and you can control it with the Sonos app, which also lets you link the soundbar up with other Sonos speakers in a multiroom music system.
