If a good-sounding Bluetooth home speaker is what you’re looking for, Marshall has made a name for itself as a great place to get terrific sound along with iconic design. The Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Home Speaker is one such example and after lingering nearly the entire year at $299, it’s now dropped to under $200 for Prime Day.

Currently at $199, the Marshall Acton III is an all-time Amazon low. The Acton III is part of Marshall’s latest generation of home speakers and it’s been re-engineered to deliver a wider stereo soundstage than ever before. The result is immersive and room-filling audio that brings out the best in every genre.

Design And Quality

One of the biggest advantages of the Acton III is how easy it is to use: just plug it into your device and listen to music. There is no tricky setup or learning curve—just simple, immediate gratification. The physical knobs at the top of the speaker enable you to fine-tune volume, bass and treble to taste so you can tailor your listening experience with a quick turn.

The Acton III is also future-proofed for wireless sound with the latest Bluetooth 5.2: That gives you a more stable connection, greater range and better sound quality, but at lower power costs. With each new Bluetooth technology that’s created, the Acton III will be able to support it so your speaker will be kept up to date in the future. If you prefer a wired setup, there is also 3.5mm input which gives you the freedom to connect the speaker to a variety of machines.

The quality of sound is where the Acton III is really impressive: The wider stereo soundstage gives you a richer listen so that you can hear every nuance in your favorite tunes. Whether you’re an aficionado of rock, jazz or pop, the speaker delivers clean highs, rich mids and deep bass that resonate. The powerful amplifier ensures that your tunes sound crisp and distortion-free at any volume.

This limited Prime Day deal is the perfect opportunity to bring legendary Marshall sound into your home, now is the moment to make your move.

There are a lot of great soundbars out there, and we don’t have room to feature them all. Here are some others you might want to consider.

LG’s S95TR for $1,000-1,500: LG’s 9.1.5-channel soundbar (8/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn’t perform as well as Samsung’s flagship Q990 series, but it could be a better choice for those with newer LG TVs like the C4, which can connect wirelessly and use its speakers in tandem with the bar for more immersion. It also supports gaming features like 120-Hz pass-through, but only includes one spare input.

Sony Bravia Theater 9 for $1,400: Sony’s follow-up to the potent HT-A7000 flagship soundbar regresses in some key ways. There are fewer inputs (no more analog), a more mundane fabric-wrapped design, and minimal sound settings. The Theater 9’s leaner frame equates to a less meaty and immersive soundstage, but this is still a Sony flagship soundbar, which means great musicality, superb detail, and advanced spatial imaging for 3D audio. Premium features like an HDMI 2.1 input for connecting modern game consoles and advanced integration with newer Sony TVs sweeten the deal, but at $1,400, it’s a pricey proposition.

Vizio 2.1 Soundbar (SV210M) for $170: Vizio’s curvy little combo brings enticing value, with solid sound quality and some cinematic punch from the teensiest subwoofer you’ll ever see. There’s no optical input or remote included, but the Vizio app makes adjusting settings or swapping to Bluetooth simple enough. The main drawback is that dialog sometimes (but not always) gets lost, reducing the main draw of a cheap soundbar. That said, good musical chops and features like DTS Virtual X expansion make it worth considering on sale.

Samsung HW-Q800C for $598: If Samsung’s HW-Q990C everything bar is too rich for your blood, the two-piece HW-Q800C (8/10, WIRED Recommends) could be a good compromise. This bar offers a similar sound signature as Samsung’s flagship bars and many of the same features, packed into a smaller bar-and-subwoofer combo for a notable discount–especially since it’s now almost always on sale.

Sennheiser Ambeo Mini for $700: This pint-sized luxury bar is great for those with money to burn in very small spaces. Sennheiser’s built-in Ambeo virtualization technology brilliantly throws sound all around you for exhilarating TV shows and movies, and offers advanced features like support for Google Assistant and Alexa.

Sony HT-X8500 for $300: Sony’s HT-X8500 is getting harder to find, but it’s still one of our favorite options for those after a single bar with solid bass response and expansive sound, including decent Dolby Atmos virtualization. While it’s pricier than our top bar, it’s a great alternative for those after a bit more, and worth considering while it’s still available.

Sennheiser Ambeo Plus for $1,200: Given the price and the physical dimensions of the soundbar—which doesn’t even include a subwoofer—the Ambeo Plus might look like a poor deal. But thanks to its 400 watts of power and its nine carefully developed and even more carefully positioned drivers, this Sennheiser is capable of big, enveloping sound with a strong suggestion of the sonic height that Dolby Atmos soundtracks thrive on. By way of an encore, it turns out to be a hugely capable wireless speaker when you want to listen to some music, too. —Simon Lucas

The Polk React for $269: This soundbar works if you want to get surround sound eventually but don’t have the cash right now. The Alexa-enabled soundbar is fine on its own, with surround speakers and subwoofers available from Polk if you want to upgrade.
