We’re getting closer to Black Friday, which means we’re going to start seeing even more sales on top tech items, including the best TVs and best soundbars. We’ve been doing our best to highlight early Black Friday soundbar deals, but this JBL promo is a discount you don’t want to miss: Right now, when you purchase the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this model sells for $400.

You’ll want to take advantage of these early Black Friday Best Buy deals whenever you can, because it’s some of the best pricing you’ll find on popular tech items all year! We tested this soundbar a while back, and our reviewer had the following to say: “This single-speaker soundbar is the easiest way to add Dolby Atmos to your TV.”

Why you should buy the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam

This five-channel MultiBeam soundbar is a great Dolby Atmos emulator, making it easy to enjoy the thrills of a complete surround system without all the speaker wires and amplifiers. Not only does this JBL decode Atmos signals, but it also leans on JBL’s MultiBeam tech to beam audio to every nook and cranny of your viewing space. From floor to ceiling, every square inch of real estate will have sound bouncing around in it!

The JBL MultiBeam soundbar uses HDMI eARC and digital optical to send all your TV audio directly to the soundbar, and it also has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. With the latter, you’ll be able to use Chromecast, AirPlay, and Alexa Multi-Room Audio to listen to your favorite playlists and podcasts. The 5.0-channel MultiBeam uses a simple racetrack design, which allows the soundbar to sit nice and flush with your TV (whether it’s sitting on a table or mounted to the wall).

We’re not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, but most doorbuster deals tend to vanish pretty quickly. That said, today might be the best day to grab the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with MultiBeam at Best Buy. You may also want to check out our list of Best Buy Black Friday TV deals, too.

Get early holiday savings on this JBL soundbar at Best Buy!
JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam

A fantastic TV is nothing without a solid audio system backing it up. While we understand that not every household can fit a massive speaker system in the living room, just about every entertainment center has enough room for a soundbar. These plug-and-play systems typically connect to your TV via a single HDMI or audio cable and, in some cases, even wirelessly. We’re always on the lookout for great soundbar deals, too, which leads us to this Best Buy discovery:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam Soundbar for only $250 as part of Best Buy’s Prep for the Holidays sale. At full price, this model sells for $400.
