For a limited time, Woot is offering the 2022 model Samsung HW-B550 2.1-Channel Soundbar System for $167.99 Prime shipped. Normally going for $280, this 40% discount, or solid $112 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve seen for this model. This same system currently goes for $198 over at Amazon. With a total system power of 410W, the HW-B550 system puts you in control with built-in Dolby Audio which adds extra details while watching content, and DTS Virtual:X expands the sound field without extra speakers. The wireless subwoofer will add that punchy bass that enhances any movie-watching experience as well. There is an HDMI passthrough here as well with support for HDMI ARC so your console and TV can provide audio directly to the soundbar to process. Head below for more.
If you want to save some cash you can 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 JBL 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.
