I loved this Sony soundbar when I reviewed it, and it’s 40% off in this holiday deal

The best soundbars take the movie-watching experience at home to the next level by improving the clarity of dialogue, sound effects and music, and adding a layer of bass that the built-in speakers of even the best TVs are unable to provide. You can spend a lot of money on elaborate Dolby Atmos soundbars with wireless subwoofers and surround speakers, but even a compact all-in-one model can make a big difference.

A good example of the latter is the Sony HT-S2000. In our Sony HT-S2000 review, we found it delivered an impressive level of immersion, given its standard 3.1-channel speaker array and compact form factor. At its initial list price of $499/£449, the HT-S2000 was just an average value. But since then the price has dropped to $298 at Amazon in the US and £329 at Amazon in the United Kingdom. Those are both excellent deals, and definitely worth pursuing if you need a soundbar for yourself, or are looking for a special gift for a movie fan on your list.
