New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
It’s the second and final day of October—Prime Day . Amazon is currently running a major sale on Sonos devices , with deals on virtually everything. The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is one of the best deals in this segment, currently marked down to a record low of $369 (originally $499), according to price tracking tools . The Sonos Ace is also on sale at its lowest price yet, at $298.99 (originally $399), if you’re looking for quality headphones.
As the name suggests, this isn’t the first generation of the Beam soundbar. The previous one was the Sonos Beam Gen 1 , released in 2018. It was the first smart soundbar to support Google and Alexa voice assistants, as well as AirPlay. In 2021, the Sonos Beam Gen 2 was released, adding Atmos compatibility, eARC and NFC support, and an improved processor inherited from the first generation. The Sonos Companion app has also been significantly improved, providing a more user-friendly experience and additional features, such as Sonos TruePlay (for Apple phones only), which calibrates the speaker based on the surrounding environment.
The release of the larger, more powerful Sonos Arc Ultra last year meant that the Beam Gen 2 was no longer the flagship premium soundbar, which contributed to the price drop in similar sales.
