The Sonos Soundbar With Alexa Is Now 46% Off.
Compared to traditional speaker systems , soundbars are an affordable alternative for enhancing TV sound without adding clutter to your room. Some models, like the Sonos Beam Gen 1 soundbar , also feature built-in voice assistants—and right now, the new Sonos Beam is on sale at Woot for 46% off, down from $499 to $269. According to price tracking tools , that’s $30 off its previous lowest price.
Sonos Beam, a wireless home theater and music speaker, features built-in Alexa, allowing for hands-free control, alarms, and news and weather updates. Its compact size (2.7 x 25.7 x 4 inches, HWD) allows for a sleek design that takes up little space.
Despite its age—it won PCMag’s “Best of the Year” award back in 2018—it holds up well as a complete sound system, combining powerful sound with a compact size. The Sonos platform supports 50 music streaming services, and the top panel features three touch controls for playback, track skipping, and volume adjustment. A remote control isn’t included, but it can be configured to work with your TV remote.
While the soundbar can’t replicate directional surround sound, it does feature four woofers, three passive radiators, and one tweeter to create spacious, clear, room-filling sound. If you’re looking for a powerful yet unobtrusive speaker system, the Sonos Beam Gen 1 soundbar is a solid option.
