It's hard to know which soundbars will be in the sales ahead of time, but we expect many of the best soundbars available right now to drop to their lowest ever prices.

We'll update this page with the top reductions and the best Cyber Monday soundbar deals when they land on November 29. Until then, we'll share our recommendations about when and where to find the biggest bargains, as well as our predictions about what you can expect and all you need to know about the latest soundbars from brands like Klipsch, Samsung and Sonos. That way, when the deals come rolling in, you'll be in with the best chance of finding the right soundbar for you.

In our guide below, we've also added some of the best deals from previous Cyber Monday sales – you'll find them at the bottom of this page. This will help those of you in both the US and the UK to better gauge what's a good deal when the reductions start appearing in November.

Remember that this year's deals will include new models that haven't yet seen any major price cuts. But this also means last year's bargains might prove even better value in 2021.

Cyber Monday soundbar deals: FAQ

When will the best Cyber Monday soundbar deals start in 2021?

In 2021, Cyber Monday is on Monday, November 29. However, sales will start rolling in before that date.

Sales are already starting to make an appearance here in early November, but it's likely we'll see prices slashed more dramatically during Thanksgiving week (which begins Monday, 22 November, for our UK readers) in the run-up to both Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021.

Last season's holiday spending report, conducted by Adobe Analytics, tells us that major retailers saw Thanksgiving week as a green light to begin rolling out deals more furiously, with Cyber Monday marking the end of the sales period.

That means we can expect the very best cheap soundbar deals to land on either Black Friday or Cyber Monday, so check back to this page when they both roll around. It's worth noting that last year's pandemic-affected shopping trends may see retailers behave slightly differently in 2021.

This means it's possible a soundbar you've been eyeing up might become part of a sale a week or so before Cyber Monday itself, and then receive further price cuts as the week progresses. As with every sale, though, it's risky to wait and see if it gets better and better – though we're confident those on Cyber Monday will offer the best value.

Where are the best places to find Cyber Monday soundbar deals?

We'll list the best Cyber Monday soundbar deals here on this page. But so you know where to look, some retailers are notoriously better than others when it comes to good value soundbar deals. Below we've rounded up a selection of stores – in both the US and UK – to keep an eye on in the run-up to Cyber Monday.

What specs should I look for when buying a soundbar on Cyber Monday?

Whether you want to build your dream home theater system, or you're looking for a more reliable audio source to accompany your TV at an affordable price, choosing the best soundbar for you can be tricky.

The newest and best TVs are getting slimmer and slimmer, which means there's less room for built-in speakers. That's where soundbars come in, bringing great audio to your new TV.

You'll want to keep an eye out for features like Bluetooth, which enables easy wireless connection with compatible devices, like your smartphone, tablet or PC. For audiophiles, you'll need to pay attention to the quality of a soundbar's subwoofers and tweeters, depending on the amount of bass or high frequency sound you're after.

Then there's Dolby Atmos. Offered by the best soundbars on the market, Dolby Atmos creates a 3D audio space for stunningly realistic entertainment. The sound isn't limited to channels, either, so it can be positioned and moved precisely in a 3D field.

Our guide to the best soundbars on the market right now will give you a more detailed idea of what makes a soundbar worth buying, but rest assured that, typically, the higher the price, the better the audio quality.
