Best soundbar deals after Prime Day
Vizio’s Elevate soundbar looks stylish and should match most living room decors. You get support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with a total of 13 powerful speakers built-in. If you’re looking for a premium soundbar around $450, this is one of the best we tested.
The Fire TV soundbar is compact at just 60cm wide and, as you’d expect, designed to work best with Fire TV streaming devices and smart TVs. The Fire TV soundbar also works with other smart TVs and media players. Connectivity includes Bluetooth, HDMI, eARC and digital optical. Support for DTS Virtual:X is built in – all for just over $100.
The Sonos Ray is one of our favorite soundbars of 2024, and a solid bargain at over $100 off. It’s a compact two-channel soundbar with Dolby Digital decoding and you can adjust the EQ with the Sonos app. It also has AirPlay 2 built in for wireless streaming from your iPhone or other Apple devices.

What are Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon’s October Prime Day event is called Prime Big Deal Days, but the shopping extravaganza essentially functions as a second Amazon Prime Day event ahead of the holiday season. If you’ve never shopped a Prime Day sale before, you might be wondering what exactly it entails, so here’s a quick explanation. It’s a two-day Amazon sale that offers exclusive savings to Amazon Prime subscribers with limited-time offers, flash deals, and rock-bottom prices. It’s a rare opportunity to score Black Friday-level prices outside of November, so it’s usually worth shopping. The sale officially ended on October 9, but there are still a few holdover deals floating around.
When was the Amazon Prime Day 2024 event in October?
Amazon’s Prime Day in October took place on October 8 and 9 this year. While you might think this means all the deals are done now that we’re past the official dates, there are still plenty of savings to be had even after the event.
How does October’s Prime Day compare to July’s Prime Day?
There are many similarities between the two sales. Many of the same deals will return during the October sale, especially on Amazon’s own devices like Blink and Ring home security devices, Fire TVs and tablets, Echo devices, and more. The main difference has to do with the timing of the sale. Because Prime Day falls in summer in July, there is more focus on back-to-school and outdoor deals. This includes school supplies, grills, lawn mowers and more. During Prime Day in October, we’ll see more deals geared toward the upcoming holidays, like kitchenware for a Thanksgiving meal or kids’ toys and games for Christmas.

How we pick the best Prime Day soundbar deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. In that time, we’ve learned how to find the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only come across the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sales time when choosing soundbar deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products on sale so we know if the list price is too high and not an actual discount.
- Quality assessments and testing are important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in a bad product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining selling time is also important. Some offers are only valid for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that is the case, we will let you know in advance so that you do not renege on the deal later and be disappointed.
