This Sonos Arc Soundbar Is $250 Off

The Sonos brand is well known in the smart speaker and surround sound system space. And very much like Apple, people will pay a premium price for their minimalistic, premium quality, and discounts are often hard to come by.

Of course, it’s always better to get a deal, and that’s exactly what you can do today: The Sonos Arc, which was Sono’s flagship soundbar prior to the launch of the Sonos Arc Ultra, is $649, $250 off its usual $899 price. It’s also a new low price for this model, according to price tracking tools.

Sonos speakers are not for everyone, if only because you’ll have to justify paying around two grand for a complete surround sound system when you can get a setup like the Samsung Q990C for about half the price. But audiophiles swear they can hear the difference, so the cost might be worth it to you.

If you pick up this soundbar, you’ll want to consider the Sonos 300 rear speakers and the Gen 4 subwoofer to go with it—they’re the latest Sonos has to offer, though you can choose Eras 100 or an older or smaller subwoofer to lower the price tag.

As for the Arc, it offers Dolby Atmos, providing immersive three-dimensional sound with height channels that simulate audio coming from above you (you can read the details in PCMag’s “excellent” review). It offers enough of a low-end kick that you don’t really need a subwoofer if you have a small space. If you already own other Sonos speakers, you can seamlessly connect them through the Sonos app to create a surround sound setup or a multi-room system.

Best Buy is offering $75 in credit if you want them to mount the soundbar in your space, but you’ll have to buy the mounting materials separately.
