Amazon Prime Day is nearly here, with the event itself running over July 16th and 17th in 2024, but we’re already seeing some early deals on a great range of tech – including some of the best soundbars.
I’ve found three early Prime Day deals that make already affordable soundbars even cheaper. In the US, you can get the Amazon Fire TV soundbar for $99.99 (was $119.99) at Amazon for a budget boost. For an affordable Dolby Atmos surround system, the excellent Hisense AX5125H is down to $349.99 (was $499.99) at Amazon, and for a compact one-box Atmos experience, the Sony HT-S2000 is down to $318 (was $499.99) at Amazon.
In the UK, the Amazon Fire TV soundbar is available for pre-order (shipping 29th July) with a discount price of £99.99 (was £119.99) at Amazon. The Hisense AX5125H has had its price slashed at £349.99 (was £499.99) and a budget Atmos option in the Denon DHT-S517 is available for £279 (was £379) at Amazon.

Having the right soundbar for your TV can make a huge difference, as a modest upgrade can give a real boost in sound quality – even the best TVs‘ built-in speakers can struggle for real depth, since they sets are so thin these days. The main areas where these speakers struggle are speech and bass, usually limited by a slim frame or lack of power. This is where soundbars can hep – by bringing the sound front and center.
Naturally, these budget soundbars aren’t going to top some of the more premium options among the best Dolby Atmos soundbars – such as the expensive Samsung HW-Q990D – but they will deliver much clearer sound if you’ve bought a mid-range or budget TV.
The Amazon Fire TV soundbar is a no-frills 2.0ch model and while it won’t give you the movie theater at home, it does best a surprising amount of cheaper TVs built-in audio. We found in our review that it had good speech clarity and surprising spatial sound that will extend beyond what cheaper built-in TV speakers can do.
The Hisense AX5125H is a rare find, as it offers real Dolby Atmos and surround sound in an affordable package. Its sound is powerful, punchy, crisp and delivers a great sense of immersion – and you don’t have to break the bank to get this either. It’s easily one of the best soundbars that we’ve tested in 2024.
If you don’t want a full surround system but still want Dolby Atmos in a compact form, there’s the Sony HT-S2000 in the US, which impressed us with its virtual surround sound quality despite its limited 3.1 speaker array. In the UK, there’s the Denon DHT-S517, which carries up-firing speakers for Atmos production and as an added bonus, a wireless subwoofer for extra rumble. Both units are developed by two giants of audio and are sure to deliver a solid sound option for your TV.
