In Final Prime Day Hours, Our Favorite Smart Soundbar for Music Streaming Gets a Massive $130 Discount
Sonos is known for two things: Awesome sound and elite price tags to match. But as Amazon's Prime Day event dies down, we're seeing one of our favorite smart soundbars, the Sonos Beam Gen 2, discounted by more than 25% off, bringing it down to a more manageable $369.
This compact soundbar (about 25 inches wide) offers four elliptical midwoofers, a central tweeter and three passive bass radiators. In his Sonos Beam 2 review, CNET's Ty Pendlebury said, "For people looking to explore Dolby Atmos who want built-in voice assistant(s) and best-in-class whole-home music streaming, the Sonos Beam Gen 2 is a great choice."
Pendlebury went on to say, "The idea of any home cinema system, Atmos or otherwise, is to create a bubble of sound. The Beam managed to do so despite the fact that all of its speakers are housed in a from a single enclosure." It's not exactly surround sound, but it's about as close as you can get with a soundbar like this.
The upgraded features include HDMI eARC passthrough capabilities, and your choice of Alexa or Google Gemini, plus Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay 2 support. There are also a couple of fun added features, like a Night Mode to quiet things down when necessary

Why this Sonos deal really matters
Sonos speakers tend to be pricey and packed with high-end features. Finding one on sale may be the top priority for anyone who wants a serious sound upgrade, and Prime Day one of the few perfect times to nab one. Plus, the Beam 2 is a particularly versatile pick, as at home on a shelf as in front of your TV, and HDMI eARC is a massive entertainment system upgrade if you don't have it yet.
