The Sonos Arc Soundbar Is Discontinued, Here's Your Last Chance To Save $300

Sonos doesn’t discount its popular speakers very often, so it’s a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. Right now, Amazon and Walmart are offering one of Sonos’ best speakers – the Arc soundbar – for only $599 after a hefty $300 off instant discount. This speaker appears to have been discontinued and has been replaced by the new Arc Ultra. It’s currently sold out on Sonos’ website and unlikely to come back except maybe in their Refurbished section.

Sonos Arc Soundbar for $599 ($300 Off)

Sonos Arc

The Arc was Sonos’ flagship soundbar until the recent release of the Arc Ultra, which retails for $1,000 and hasn’t seen any discount since its launch. The premium 45″ soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers (three tweeters and eight midwoofers). It’s also Dolby Atmos ready with two dedicated height channels. The Arc can easily be paired with other Sonos speakers and subs without any technical know-how (simply follow the instructions on the app), which is why Sonos is often recommended for anyone who wants great sound without the hassle typically associated with AV setup. Other nifty features include an ambient light sensor, HDMI eARC, capacitive touch controls, WiFi, and more. The Sonos Arc also has a built-in microphone so it can accept voice commands.

The new Arc Ultra is actually worth the price premium

Although the new Arc Ultra looks similar to the Arc and even has mostly similar dimensions (the Arc Ultra is 1.5″ wider, 0.4″ shorter, and 0.4″ shallower), the internals have undergone a significant upgrade. The Arc Ultra packs in fourteen speakers, including seven tweeters, six midwoofers, and an all new Sound Motion four-motor dual-membrane woofer. Aside from bigger, cleaner bass, the Arc Ultra does a much better job separating voices and improving dialogue clarity. It also has Bluetooth built-in, which the Arc strangely lacked.

Sonos Arc Ultra Review by Nick Woodard

“With the Arc Ultra, Sonos took an industry-leading soundbar and made it markedly better in several ways. It’s an overall better-sounding bar with bigger bass and a larger ensemble of drivers working in concert to immerse you in the content you love. Add in things like Bluetooth support and Android Trueplay compatibility, and you’re met with a soundbar that lives up to its sizable price tag. There’s still a few nitpicks to be had, and Sonos is clearly still reeling from its app and headphones fiascos. But the Arc Ultra is undeniable proof that Sonos still makes some of the best wireless speakers available today, even if it doesn’t stick the landing every time out.”
