If you’re looking for a way to beef up your sound system ahead of the Super Bowl, it’s worth investing in a good soundbar. And right now, the Sonos Arc is matching its all-time low of around $649 ($250 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo.
Before Sonos released the Sonos Arc Ultra last year, the Sonos Arc was the company’s highest-end soundbar. Along with eight woofers and three tweeters, the Arc boasts two upward-firing Dolby Atmos speakers. Combined with eARC support, the soundbar delivers impressive and immersive sound, especially when paired with a large 4K TV that supports Atmos over HDMI ARC. Even more conveniently, the Arc features built-in mics and support for Apple’s AirPlay 2, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant for hands-free voice control.
Of course, there are some trade-offs you’ll have to make if you opt for the Arc over the more powerful $999 Arc Ultra. Only the Ultra supports Bluetooth audio and Trueplay EQ tuning, for example. The Arc also lacks support for Sonos’ new “Sound Motion” tech, which, combined with some additional drivers, allows the Ultra to provide more immersive sound. But if you’re okay going without those features, the Arc is a terrific option at this price.
