A soundbar shouldn’t be a pain to set up; it should just make your movies and shows sound better. The JBL Cinema SB170 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer nails the basics. It fits neatly under most TVs without blocking the picture, and the small subwoofer can sit next to your couch or TV stand. Together, they make sound way better than a TV’s thin, built-in speakers, with clearer voices and deeper bass. Just plug it in, turn it on, and your room will have a presence that flat screens can’t provide on their own.
Head over to Best Buy to get the JBL Cinema SB170 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer for just $150, down from its usual price of $250. That’s a discount of $100 and 40% off.

Crystal clear sound for all your favorite shows and movies
With the JBL Cinema SB170 Soundbar, speech audio is positioned right up front, which is ideal for dramas and those late-night watches when you’re constantly rewinding to catch what someone said. The soundbar’s speakers keep speech sharp, while the instruments, sound effects, and background noise spread across the screen. The wireless subwoofer adds the oomph for action scenes and bass lines, boosting movie rumbles and music without drowning out the voices. It’s tuned to sound great with all sorts of things, from sports commentary to cartoons to your weekend playlists.
HDMI ARC allows you to use your TV remote to control volume and power, eliminating the need for multiple remotes. There’s an optical connection for older TVs. The subwoofer connects automatically when you turn everything on, and it stays connected even across a big living room. The controls are easy to use. The remote switches between inputs, adjusts the bass and treble, and features individual sound settings for movies, music, or a softer sound for nighttime. The system turns on fast when you turn on the TV, remembers the last input, and goes back to sleep when you turn everything off.
I like that it’s easy to live with because you don’t have to constantly adjust it. Sports sound fuller without being too loud, YouTube videos don’t sound like they’re coming from your phone, and games sound more immersive than they do with tiny TV speakers. And with the current sale, it’s an easy choice, as the JBL Cinema SB170 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer is currently available for $150 at Best Buy, down from $250.
