There's a Big Sonos Sale Going on at Woot
Save on the Sonos Arc soundbar, the Move portable speaker, and more
Right now Woot! (owned by Amazon) is offering several popular Sonos soundbars, speakers, and subs at the lowest prices we've seen. Keep in mind that although they are marked as brand new, you get a 90-day Woot! warranty instead of the manufacturer's warranty. Most of these prices are lower than what we saw during last year's Black Friday sale.
Sonos Arc Soundbar for $699
The Arc is Sonos' flagship product. This is a premium soundbar and it shows. This 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including two dedicated height channels. It's Dolby Atmos ready, and there's enough power here that you can probably get away without a subwoofer. However, the Sonos Arc can be wirelessly paired up with other Sonos speakers and subs to add even more sound distribution. The Arc also has a built-in microphone for voice control so it is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.
Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker for $299.99
The Move is Sonos' biggest and best portable speaker. Thinks of it as a portable Era 100. This is a standalone speaker with a self-contained battery and can be carried around from room to room. It's also made of more durable materials and is IP56 rated for weather resistance and A small dock is also included. The Move 2 pumps out great sound for its small footprint. Like the Era 100, the Move 2 has two tweeters, three class-D digital amplifiers, a mid-woofer. It also has a built-in microphone for voice control so it is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.
Sonos Beam Gen 2 Soundbar for $389
If your TV is too small for the Arc's 45" footprint, the consider the Sonos Beam instead. The Beam is a smaller 26" soundbar that still boasts excellent audio quality thanks to four elliptical midwoofers, one central tweeter and three passive bass radiators. It's Dolby Atmos ready and has a built-in microphone for voice control.
Sonos Sub Gen 3 for $629
If you want to add ground-shaking bass to your Sonos setup, there's still nothing better than a separate standalone subwoofer. The Sonos Sub boasts two 6" drivers that face inwards towards each other to eliminate unwanted vibrations. Each driver is powered by its own amplifier and delivers more than enough sound pressure for even a large room. Like the Arc, the Sonos Sub maintains a small footprint and it looks good. The integrated wireless connectivity so you can avoid the hassle of routing a cable back to the rest of your home theater components.
Sonos Five Wireless HiFi Speaker for $479
The Sonos Five is Sonos' biggest and most powerful wireless speaker. This is a considerably larger and heavier speaker than the Era 300, measuring in at 14 inches wide x 8 inches high x 6 inches deep. The larger sealed cabinet contains three tweeters, three midwoofers, and six Class-D digital amplifiers for no distortion and faithful reproduction across the entire range. If placed horizontally, it will default to stereo mode and if placed vertically, in mono mode.
Why is Sonos so popular?
If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. We picked Sonos as our best soundbar of 2024.
Sound quality vs size
Despite the fact that Sonos products are compact and don't take up much space in your house, they offer surprisingly loud and distortion-free audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is more akin to audio products that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.
Easy setup
Sonos devices are usually simple plug and play. All you have to do is plug in a power cable (if even that's necessary) and one connection to your TV (if even that's necessary), download the Sonos app, and you're done. Generally a receiver isn't required; the soundbars are designed to plug right into your TV and the speakers are designed to work wirelessly. For something like a 5.1ch home theater setup, you don't have to deal with a mess of cables. Individual Sonos speakers can pair with your soundbar and be used as rear satellites, and the subwoofer is also wireless so it can be positioned virtually anywhere in your room.
Communication between devices
Practically all Sonos speakers can communicate with each other. That means you can pair different Sonos speakers in different rooms for multi-room capability. Or you can pair two speakers for stereo output. Or you can pair speakers to your soundbar to be used as a 5.1ch setup. It's all seamlessly done through the app.
