Bose Soundbar 550 Drops to $199 From $500

Walmart Relaunches Its Legendary Soundbar Deal

The deal we couldn't stop talking about last Black Friday is back - and it's just as sweet. Walmart has slashed the price of the premium Bose Smart Soundbar 550 from its usual $500 tag down to an unheard-of $199, complete with free shipping. What makes this even better? You're buying directly from Walmart, not some third-party seller with questionable reliability.

If $199 still stretches your budget, there's an even more affordable option. Woot (Amazon's refurbished marketplace) offers a certified pre-owned version for just $169.99. Prime members get free delivery, while others pay a nominal $6 fee. The kicker? It comes with Bose's full one-year warranty, identical to buying brand new.

Measuring a sleek 27 inches, this soundbar blends seamlessly with TVs 32" and larger. Its five-speaker array (including two upward-firing Atmos drivers) delivers immersive audio whether you're watching an Atmos-enabled movie or relying on Bose's TrueSpace upscaling tech. The A.I. Dialogue Mode is a game-changer, automatically boosting speech clarity in any content.

As a true smart device, it offers both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Use the Bose app to stream via AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect, or integrate with Alexa/Google Assistant for hands-free control. After being one of 2024's hottest Black Friday items, this deal's return in 2025 proves its lasting value.
