Black Friday is just around the corner, and there is 25 percent off Sonos speakers and soundbars
The Sonos Beam and Arc: A Smart Speaker for TVs and Home Entertainment and the Ray Soundbar for an Apartment or Small Room
If you want a smart speaker that also serves as a soundbar, both the second-gen Sonos Beam and larger Sonos Arc are on sale. You can buy the second-gen Sonos Beam from Best Buy for $349, and the second-gen Arc from Best Buy for $719.
The Sonos Roam is on sale for less than $134 at Best Buy and www.osmo.com. The Bluetooth speaker isn’t as loud and doesn’t offer as much bass as the larger Era 100, but it still offers good overall sound quality. It is also dust and water resistant so you can bring it with you to the pool, even if there is a problem.
Both of them will improve the audio quality of your TV. They also both support Dolby Atmos and feature an eARC HDMI port. Plus, along with Apple’s AirPlay 2 and Amazon Alexa, they also support Google Assistant. The sound quality isn’t quite as impressive as the Arc’s.
While the Amp powers speakers, the Port streams to an amp that then sends a signal to the speakers. Unlike the Amp, it doesn’t come with a control panel, but you can use the Sonos app to adjust treble, bass, and volume. It also has support for AirPlay 2. As with the Amp, you can also pair it with other Sonos speakers for voice control.
Anyone looking to add more bass can use the Sonos Sub. The third-gen model packs better processing power and more memory. It’s also meant to be paired with Sonos’ nonportable options—like soundbars, speakers, and amplifiers. It won’t complement Move, Roam, Port, or Connect. It is expensive, but top-notch. This is also the lowest price we’ve tracked so far.
WIRED recommends the Ray soundbar for an apartment or small room. It’s compact, allowing you to place it on your entertainment center or dresser. It can be put on the wall to free up space. It delivers clear, crisp sound that will easily fill your space. You can adjust the settings via the Sonos app for the best listening experience.
