Sony S100F Bluetooth 2.0ch Sound Bar, $98 (was $118)
Why is this a good deal?
This year’s Amazon Prime Day sale is set to be one of the biggest yet. The sale, which officially runs from June 23 to June 26, is already making its presence felt, with thousands of brands making deals live. This year’s early tech offerings include TVs with Alexa, a huge selection of portable lighting, and even this hugely popular Sony soundbar, which has already dropped below $100 before the action.
Sony’s S100F Bluetooth 2.0ch Sound Bar is now available at Amazon for just $98. This soundbar is the No. 6 bestseller in the home audio soundbar category on Amazon and has over 5,500 five-star ratings from satisfied customers who say it delivers “clean basic sound” and what some call the “perfect soundbar.” The over 2,000 buyers who purchased it in the last 30 days would probably agree.

What to know before buying
Even though it is compact in design, this soundbar offers a movie theater-like audio experience. This sleek soundbar disappears when installed on a shelf or console, or right under your TV. With enough power, this unit delivers superior sound, utilizing bass reflex speakers for deep and rich levels, while the S-Force Pro front surround sound helps it fill a room. The latest Bluetooth technology allows you to pair it with your smartphone or TV instantly.
What type of space is it best suited for? This speaker will work best for small to medium rooms that want to improve the less-than-optimal sound of their TV. Think about bedrooms, apartment living rooms, kitchens—things like that. If you need to fill a spacious living room that’s larger than 20-by-20, we’d recommend looking at JBL’s BAR 700MK2-7.1 Channel Soundbar System. Granted, it is more expensive, but you will do justice to this giant in a big way.

What reviewers say
One shopper said, “This is a great compact soundbar and a solid choice for enhancing sound.” “Its compact design makes it easy to fit anywhere, and setup was very simple – it took me just a few minutes to connect via Bluetooth. The sound quality is impressive for such a small unit, with clear vocals and a balanced sound. The bass reflex speaker also adds some depth to the audio… Overall, this is a great choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, compact soundbar with good performance.”
Another shopper said, “Best sound ever – I feel like I’m in a movie theater.” “This thing is loud and clear. It has a setting to make voices/dialogue more clear, and it works. It has five other modes to choose from, even a night mode to meet your needs. Overall, it’s a must buy.”
A proper audio experience can make or break a movie night, and Sony’s S100F Bluetooth 2.0ch sound bar knocks it out of the park. Get yours now before it inevitably goes back to full price again.
