Here at Decider, we’re big fans of soundbars. They play an essential role in any good home theater, whether you’re looking to assemble an entire system or just want a little extra juice when it comes to sound.

When we were putting together our expert-recommended guide to soundbars with input from John Couling, the SVP of entertainment at Dolby, he told us that a soundbar “takes that responsibility to make sound and puts it into its own device where that can be the focus of that device,” rather than have sound come directly from the (often very thin) TV.

We were also provided a list of Dolby-recommended soundbars across various brands and price points. And right now, one of our top picks is $200 off on Amazon.

As a 3.1-channel soundbar, it features three front-firing sound channels, including a more significant center channel to create more precise dialogue. You can add a subwoofer to create authentic surround sound — but the bar has two built-in.

Even without that additional piece, the soundbar supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound technologies. It also includes Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine, S-Force PRO Front Surround and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, plus Sound Field Optimization, which calibrates the sound to your space.

Setup is easy, as the bar connects to your TV via the HDMI port. Also included is support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, plus built-in Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities.
