Credit: Amazon/Lifehacker Table of Contents As October Prime Day 2026 approaches and early deals start rolling out, Amazon has cut prices across its entire Fire TV Soundbar lineup, which covers everything from a basic two-channel bar meant to replace your TV's built-in speakers to a full 5.1 setup with a wireless subwoofer and rear surrounds. For more on the sale, you can check out our Prime Day deals page for coverage of this year’s event. Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is $79.99 (was $119.99), making it the least expensive option in the lineup for anyone who wants a step up from TV speakers for everyday viewing—it's a 24-inch, two-channel bar that supports DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio, though it doesn’t have Dolby Atmos or a separate subwoofer. Despite its name, it's an audio-only soundbar and requires a Fire TV streaming stick for you to get any of the Fire TV experience. For more on this soundbar, read PCMag’s review here.Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is down to $144.99 from $249.99, and the extra money over the base model gets you a dedicated center channel that helps make dialogue easier to follow, along with a built-in subwoofer, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X support. That said, it doesn’t have up-firing drivers, so the Atmos effect stays largely horizontal, but the center channel does real work on mumbled dialogue in prestige dramas. As with the base model, this one also handles audio only and needs a Fire TV device for any of the streaming features. This PCMag review has more detail on how it performs.Amazon Fire TV Soundbar with Alexa Voice Remote Pro is $139.98 (was $154.98). This pairs the entry-level bar with the upgraded remote, which adds backlit buttons, two customizable shortcuts you can set for favorite apps or Alexa commands, and a remote finder (for when it inevitably disappears into the couch). If you don’t specifically want the remote, though, the Soundbar Plus is a more capable soundbar for just $5 more.Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus with Subwoofer is $239.99, down from $374.99. This configuration takes the same 3.1-channel bar and pairs it with a separate wireless subwoofer, which gives bass-heavy scenes and film scores considerably more weight than the bar's built-in woofer can manage on its own—and at $95 more than the discounted Soundbar Plus, this is the option I'd consider if fuller bass is a priority. Keep in mind that it doesn't add rear speakers, so you're still working with a 3.1 setup and sound that stays in front of you.Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus with Subwoofer and Surround Sound Speakers is $389.99, down from $489.99. This is the complete 5.1 package, adding two rear speakers to the 3.1 bar and wireless subwoofer, so action scenes and other surround effects come from behind you, rather than only from the direction of the TV—but it costs $150 more than the discounted soundbar and subwoofer bundle, so it’s worth considering how much you want that surround-sound effect. Also, while the rear speakers connect to the soundbar wirelessly, each still needs a power outlet.What is Amazon Prime Day?October Prime Day is the fall version of Prime Day, which is the biggest sale Amazon hosts during the spring, summer, and fall.
