For a limited time, Woot is offering the JBL BAR 5.0 5-Channel Virtual Dolby Atmos Soundbar for $199.95 Prime shipped with non-Prime members being charged a $6 delivery fee. Normally going for $400, as it does over at Amazon currently, this 50% discount or solid $200 price drop marks a return to the all-time low we’ve only tracked once before today. You may be wondering what makes this a virtual Dolby Atmos soundbar. Unlike some other 5-channel soundbar systems out there, all the speakers here are located within the soundbar and projects sound around you to create a virtual surround setup. This is the JBL MultiBeam surround sound system and it’s what brings Dolby Atmos support. There are passive radiators built into the bar so you don’t have to have a separate subwoofer as well. 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 $89. 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.
