For a limited time, Woot is offering the JBL Bar 5.0 5-Channel Virtual Dolby Atmos Soundbar for $239.95 Prime shipped with non-Prime members being charged a $6 delivery fee. Normally going for $400, as it does from Amazon currently, this 40% discount, or solid $160 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve seen for this soundbar. Previously it has gone for as little as $270 over at Amazon, but this limited-time deal is dropping it even further. While all of the speakers are located within this central soundbar, JBL has implemented its MultiBeam surround sound system to create virtual speakers around your room with support for Dolby Atmos content. There are passive radiators built into the bar so you don’t have to have a separate subwoofer to boot. You’ll find support for Apple AirPlay 2, Alexa Multi-Room Music, and Chromecast built-in so you can easily cast and stream music and videos. Head below for more.
If you want to save some cash and have a dedicated subwoofer, be sure to check out the TCL Alto 6+ 2.1 Channel Dolby Audio Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer for $129. This is one of the few sound system options at this price point that will include a wireless subwoofer. Dolby Audio decodes audio signals for maximum sound clarity though it is not Dolby Atmos surround capable. Just like the Yamaha above, you can stream music from your mobile device to this sound system over Bluetooth for when you want background noise but not a movie or TV show. Connectivity for your TV is handled either by HDMI ARC or optical audio with the setup being very simple.
