I will keep preaching the word of the soundbar until everyone has one. If you are still using your TV's speakers to watch your shows and wonder why you always need subtitles turned on to understand the dialogue, you're doing yourself a disserviceespecially when you can get a decent soundbar for under $100. Right now, Amazon has its basic Amazon Fire TV Soundbar for $99.99 (originally $119.99), and it is currently meeting its lowest price after checking price comparison tools.

$119.99 Save $20.00 Even a simple budget soundbar like the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar can make a huge difference in most people's media consumption experience with fuller sound, better dialogue, and deeper bass. It has DTS Virtual:X which gives you a feel of surround sound with its dual speakers using Dolby Audio. If you have a Fire TV, it's much easier to connect, and your TV remote will control the audio on the soundbar. Otherwise, you can connect to any TV using their HDMI eARC/ARC port. The soundbar is also Bluetooth, so you can connect to it with any Bluetooth device to play your media.
Keep in mind that this is not the Pro version soundbar, so it does not have Alexa voice assistant capabilities. But you can get that one for $154.98 if you want to connect it with your Alexa ecosystem. If you're looking for a soundbar with a subwoofer with more features and better sound, consider the LG S800QY, which is still 58% off right now.
