<p>Even on high-end models, most TV speakers suck. Bad speakers are the reason you might have <a href="/the-best-ways-to-actually-hear-tv-dialogue-1850921387" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">trouble understanding the dialogue in shows and movies</a>, and you don’t need a surround sound setup to do better—basically any soundbar will do wonders for your TV’s audio. Currently, Woot is giving you an opportunity to upgrade your sound system with a pretty good one: You can buy a “<a href="https://forums.woot.com/t/what-is-grade-a-refurbished/936800#:~:text=Factory%20Reconditioned%20%E2%80%93%20A,a%20previous%20life." rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">factory reconditioned</a>â€ <a href="https://zdcs.link/68BKR?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=JBL%20or%20Yamaha%20soundbars%20for%20as%20little%20as%20%2480&amp;short_url=68BKR&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">JBL or Yamaha soundbars for as little as $80</a>.<br></br></p><p>The deal runs through Nov. 2, or until supplies last. Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship.</p><h2>The JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-one soundbar is $80</h2><p>If you clicked because you saw $80 in the headline, here it is: This <a href="https://zdcs.link/GvovE?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=JBL%20Bar%202.0%20All-in-one%20soundbar&amp;short_url=GvovE&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-one soundbar</a> came out in 2019 and <a href="https://zdcs.link/LvOYO?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=originally%20cost%20%24200&amp;short_url=LvOYO&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">originally cost $200</a>. As <a href="/this-all-in-one-jbl-soundbar-is-81-right-now-1850888300" rel="noopener" target="" title="open in a new window">I noted last time it was on sale</a> (for $2 more), it’s a good cheap option if you don’t need a subwoofer:</p><blockquote><p>The JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-one is a solid option for those who want to upgrade from their TV speakers but don’t necessarily want to get multiple speakers or a subwoofer because of space. It’s “all-in-oneâ€ because it has bass already in it, with no need for other speakers. It also has easy installation with minimal wiring. An HDMI cable input allows you to connect it to your TV so you can control the volume with your TV’s remote. It also has Bluetooth and a USB input, so you can connect your devices to play directly from it. </p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Keep in mind that while this soundbar is marketed as a “surround soundâ€ system, it </p><p>can’t realistically “surroundâ€ you with a single speaker</p><p>, and it will not sound like multiple speakers with a subwoofer. However, it does have a surround-sound feature that gives you the </p><p>impression</p><p> of surround sound. When it comes to respectable budget soundbars, you’d be lucky to find anything under $200, let alone under $100. For a single soundbar without a subwoofer, this JBL soundbar will improve most people’s TV speakers significantly. If you have limited space or think a subwoofer is too much for you, this all-in-one soundbar is a good option.</p></blockquote><h2>Get the JBL Bar 5.0 MultiBeam if you need more power</h2><p>The <a href="https://zdcs.link/prRrY?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=Bar%205.0%20MultiBeam&amp;short_url=prRrY&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">Bar 5.0 MultiBeam</a> is on sale for <strong>$179.99</strong> (<a href="https://zdcs.link/KZbZB?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=normally%20%24399.95&amp;short_url=KZbZB&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">normally $399.95</a>). It’s an upgrade from the JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-one, offering much more power and better bass. The selling point is JBL MultiBeam Technology, which is supposed to mimic the effect of surround sound and create a wider soundstage by bouncing sound off your walls.

This is Yamaha’s equivalent of the JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-one, and like that model, it lacks a separate subwoofer (though it claims to have one built-in).

A feature distinguishing it from the JBL Bar 2.0 is its ability to be controlled with your Alexa through voice commands, and pto lay Spotify over Wi-Fi.</p><h2>Or get a soundbar and subwoofer combo</h2><p>For those who have the space and don’t mind spending a bit more to have the extra punch of a subwoofer, here are your options:</p><p> The <a href="https://zdcs.link/Oy1MB?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=JBL%20Bar%202.1%20Deep%20Bass%20soundbar&amp;short_url=Oy1MB&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass soundbar</a> and subwoofer combo is currently going for <strong>$159.99 </strong>(<a href="https://zdcs.link/27DXW?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=article&amp;module=content-body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=normally%20%24349.95&amp;short_url=27DXW&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fwoot-is-selling-reconditioned-soundbars-for-as-low-as-1850963514" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">normally $349.95</a>).

It has most of the same features as the JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass, but the subwoofer seems to be on the underpowered side. Some distinguishable features include a “Clear Voiceâ€ option for enhanced dialogue clarity and an “Adaptive Low Volumeâ€ for richer sound at low volumes. It’s wall mountable, too. </p>
