Home audio is a huge category and we constantly cover great deals on sound bars and surround sound systems here on BGR. Over the years, we’ve found that sound bars are particularly popular among readers, which obviously makes a lot of sense. They’re incredibly easy to set up, and they offer huge sound improvements over TV speakers for what is typically a low cost. Vizio in particular is a popular brand among readers because of the high quality the company offers at below-average price points… especially when the company has a sale going.

That’s why we were quite surprised when we looked up the best-selling sound bar on Amazon, and we think you’re going to be pretty surprised as well. Here are the five best-selling sound bars as of the time of this writing:

5. Samsung HW-K450 2.1 Channel 300 Watt Wireless Audio Soundbar
4. VIZIO SB2920-C6 29-Inch 2.0 Channel Sound Bar
3. AmazonBasics 2.1 Channel Bluetooth Sound Bar with Built-In Subwoofer
2. AmazonBasics 2.0 Channel Bluetooth Sound Bar
1. Sonos PLAYBAR TV Soundbar

As you can see, low-cost options do indeed dominate Amazon’s top-five. But the #1 best-selling sound bar on the site is also one of the most expensive sound bars on the market — the Sonos PLAYBAR. To be fair, however, it’s also worth every penny.
