If you're looking to upgrade your home audio system this Black Friday, then look no further than the Award-winning Sonos Arc soundbar. Even at its usual retail price, we deemed it the best Dolby Atmos soundbar to beat, but with this saving, it's even better value than before.
Right now, you can pick up the Sonos Arc, in either black or white, for just $699 at Amazon. That's an impressive $200 saving. It's one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on the soundbar, due in part to the fact the newer Sonos Arc Ultra has finally arrived. However, it's important to bear in mind that as this is Black Friday deal, we wouldn't hesitate on your buying decision for too long as this discount – and stock – may run out sooner than you think.
When it comes to the Sonos Arc, we can't stop praising it. We gave it five-stars in our review, we've given it a What Hi-Fi? Award, it takes pride of place in our list of 2024’s best Dolby Atmos soundbars. While there are big rivals like the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 out there, the Sonos Arc is the most competitive price out there, especially with this saving.
It's a solid follow-up to the Beam Gen 1, which also won itself a What Hi-Fi? Award back in 2020. For this addition to the Sonos lineup though, the Sonos Arc supports HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), meaning it can handle higher-quality Dolby Atmos signals from TVs that can output them. Other features worth talking about include the ability to host over 25 streaming apps: we're talking Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV, to name but a few. Plus, an impressive soundfield generated by 11 Class D digital amplifiers that power 11 custom drivers results in a powerful sound.
In our review, we stated: "It is a stunning performer, delivering one of the most immersive Dolby Atmos experiences we’ve heard from a soundbar. And while the Sony HT-A7000 would perhaps pip it for pure performance, it's now noticeably more expensive than the Arc." Even more so now that the Arc is $200 off.
While you may be looking at the latest model, the Sonos Arc Ultra, there are still many reasons the older Sonos Arc is a competitive choice, and that doesn't just come down to its price. Don't forget that you can pair up the Sonos Arc with other Sonos speakers to create a complete surround sound arrangement or a multi-room system – it's entirely up to you.
If you want even more soundbar options, this Sonos Arc deal is just another one we've added to the best soundbar deals guide, and there are plenty more to check out while you're there.
