Sonos is back with a sale that's matching the all-time low prices we saw over Black Friday for many of its audio products. In total, you can get up to 25 percent off select devices, and Sonos is still guaranteeing delivery in time for Christmas if ordered by 11 a.m. on December 19.

All the prices in this sale are matching the ones we tracked during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, meaning they're the best prices we've ever seen for these devices. Additionally, the new holiday sale is expanded with bundle options for anyone looking to purchase a full home theater speaker system this season.



In terms of Christmas delivery, Sonos says that you'll need to order by December 19 for ground delivery options and by December 22 for overnight shipping options. There's a good mix of products on sale, including the popular Arc soundbar for $719 ($180 off), cheaper Ray soundbar for $223 ($56 off), Roam Bluetooth speaker for $134 ($45 off), and more.

I chose an Arc solely for music in a bedroom and I'm a bit of a stickler for audio quality. I'm quite impressed with it.

Any HP shopper should consider Sonos as it works just fine with Apple Music but is also ready with about any other source of music too, supports airplay 2, and, since it easily works with Apple HomeKit, you can use Siri smarts(?) in the rest of the devices you own (phone/iPad/Mac/AppleTV) for HP smart-like commands/controls.

For those wishing Apple would develop the REST of a home theater setup, Sonos is already there with subwoofer, rear surround speakers, etc. I just helped a friend who wanted a soundbar-based home theater go Arc + twin 300s (for surround) + Sub. The sound is quite great in their TV room. Sonos- like (old) Apple- "just works..." and just works fine with Apple tech.

I've created a number of music favorite playlists in the Music app and enjoy them often on my Sonos speakers within the home... often commanding Siri to play the playlists in whichever rooms I want it. As easy as it all works with my Apple stuff, you'd think Sonos was Apple... minus such stiff lockdown/walled garden constraints Apple puts on their own speaker offerings.

This. Have had so so so many issues with my HomePods and HomeKit, it’s to the point I have a dedicated engineering team and senior advisor to help me troubleshoot. Meanwhile my Sonos system indeed just works.

Sonos already directly supports about ALL music services (more than 100) but one can also use airplay 2 if they want. Click any service that interests you on that page for more information.

Besides playing a lot of Sonos' own stations, I like Pandora and it works just fine on Sonos too. I have a few stations on TuneIn too and they play as well.

Basically Sonos is quite OPEN... including having "AUX in" on most products for those who would like wired connections and/or the ability to hook up audio sources that don't have HDMI connections.

I recently picked up a Beam gen 2 for the TV in the bedroom. It was comparable with the dual OG HomePod setup in most regards. I’d say highs and midrange on the Beam were better and the low range was better in the HomePod pair. Fortunately you can add a sub, and with the discounts they’ve got going, I did. For about $150 more than 2 HomePods I’ve got a comparable audio system for music and one that is quite noticeably better for movies and TV.
