The Sonos Labor Day Sale Drops Prices on the Rarely Discounted Arc Ultra Soundbar and Era 300 Speaker

The Arc Ultra is Sonos’ best soundbar speaker, replacing last year’s Arc model. It is a massive 46″ soundbar that houses 14 total speakers. These consist of seven silk-dome tweeters including two upward firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels and spatial audio, six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer. The speakers are paired with Class-D digital amplifiers. The Arc Ultra uses AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

The Era 300 is a much bigger, better sounding version of the Era 100. It’s nearly double the size and weight. The Era 300 is also shaped differently, but there’s a reason for that. The hourglass figure is designed to optimally arrange the six speakers so that they fire sound in all directions, enhancing Dolby Atmos and spatial audio effects. The Era 300 consist of four tweeters and two woofers paired with Class-D digital amplifiers and custom waveguides to help project sound to all corners of your room. It also has a built-in microphone for smart assistant compatibility.

The Move 2 is Sonos’ biggest and best portable speaker. It’s size allows it to house two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers. This is a standalone speaker with a self-contained battery and can be carried around from room to room. The battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous playtime and a simple but effective docking station essentially turns it into a powered speaker. It is IP56 rated for weather resistance and has a built-in microphone so that it can accept voice commands and is compatible with smart assistants.

The Sonos Era 100 is a direct improvement over the now discontinued Sonos One. This is a small standalone powered speaker that pumps out great sound for its small footprint. Unlike the Sonos Move, this is not a portable speaker with a built-in battery, so you’ll need to leave it plugged in. Sound quality is equivalent to a Sonos Move, which isn’t surprising considering they have similar internal components: two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amps. It has a built-in microphone for smart assistant functionality.

The Sonos Ace is Sonos’ first headphone and it delivers on all fronts. It offers superb sound quality with support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio, excellent noise cancellation, plush memory foam earcups for all-day comfort, a steel reinforced headband for durability, and a subtle yet elegant aesthetic.

Why do people like Sonos?

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. They’re definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.
