Let’s face the truth about the speakers built into your TV. Sure, they can get the job done, but sometimes they’re too small to do the job well — especially when you compare them with the audio a good soundbar can provide. Samsung’s excellent Q-Series HW-Q990D soundbar system has a lot to offer, as indicated by its usual price tag: a staggering $2,000. 

But today Best Buy has brought us one of the best soundbar deals we’ve seen in a while. Including Samsung’s high-end soundbar, a pair of rear speakers and a subwoofer, the system can now be had for just $1,000. That’s an impressive 50% savings. 

This 11.1.4-channel setup is a massive upgrade over your skinny TV’s little built-in speakers. It consists of the soundbar itself as well as a wireless subwoofer and two up- and side-firing rear speakers. That provides audio output in all directions, filling your living room with deep, rich and immersive sound for movies, shows, games and music.

Other features include a dedicated gaming mode and an Active Voice Analyzer that prioritizes dialogue over background noise in shows and movies. It also has built-in AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Amazon Alexa for added convenience.
