These are the best Sonos deals for Cyber Monday 2019

Simon Cohen

Sonos makes one of the best wireless whole-home sound systems you can buy, but the company rarely discounts its products. That’s why events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday are worth noting if you’re looking to buy your first Sonos components or expand an existing system. Black Friday is over, but the deals are just as good for Cyber Monday. Here’s what we’ve found…

Sonos Beam  — $319 ($80 off)

With Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, the Sonos Beam is for all intents and purposes a smart speaker that doubles as a soundbar. As with most traditional soundbars, you connect the Beam to your TV via optical or HDMI-ARC. This gives you rich and room-filling Dolby Digital sound via the Beam’s five dedicated drivers. A single, precision tweeter mounted in the center ensures that dialog is always easy to hear, even at low volumes.

As with any Sonos component, you can control it via your smartphone, tablet, or PC, and group it with other Sonos products in your home. Sonos is compatible with more streaming music services than any other wireless whole-home system, and the Beam also supports AirPlay 2, letting you hear the audio from you your video apps too. Why listen to Netflix on an iPad when it can be delivered on the Beam?

The Sonos Beam is ideally suited to smaller rooms in the house like bedrooms, even if you don’t have a TV.

Sonos Playbar — $559 ($140 off)

Looking for the full home theater experience in a single convenient soundbar? The powerful Sonos Playbar is the way to go. It has an uncanny ability to create a convincing surround-sound experience by using its six mid-woofers as a phased array — a clever trick that makes it sound like you’ve got speakers all around your room. You can place it on a surface in front of your TV or it can be wall-mounted when space is at a premium. Being the forefather to the Sonos Beam, it doesn’t feature Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but if you own an Alexa or Google smart speaker (or a Sonos smart speaker) the Playbar can still be controlled with your voice.

Sonos Playbase — $559 ($140 off)

Sometimes you simply can’t place a soundbar in front of your TV or on the wall. In these cases, a sound base — designed to sit under your TV — is the perfect solution. That’s the Sonos Playbase in a nutshell: The soundbar for those who don’t have room for a soundbar. It offers the same room-filling surround sound as the Playbar, but with even better bass. Most people who listen to the Playbase decide they don’t need a separate subwoofer.  The Playbase is compatible with all of Sonos’ other components, and with Apple’s AirPlay 2, you can play audio to it directly from your iPhone or iPad.

Sonos Sub — $559 ($140 off)

If your existing Sonos setup is lacking in the bass department, consider adding a Sonos Sub into the mix. Because it’s wireless, you can move it from one room to another depending on your activities. Need a bigger boom for movies? Place it near your TV. Throwing a bash in the main living area? Stick the Sub under the sofa and let your guests try to spot the massive speaker that simply isn’t there. The Sub features a unique internal composition that sees two inward-facing speaker drivers mounted at the center to eliminate vibration. The result? A deep bass that doesn’t send the Sub shaking to the other side of the room like an unruly jackhammer.

But wait, there’s more …

Want to connect some floor-standing, in-wall, in-ceiling, outdoor, or bookshelf speakers to your Sonos system? You need a Sonos Amp.  It’s an all-in-one Sonos wireless component and two-channel amplifier, with enough power to run up to six speakers. If you own a turntable, simply plug it into the analog inputs on the Amp and you can listen to your vinyl in any room in the house.

The Sonos Amp and the Sonos Entertainment Sets, with everything from the 3.1 Entertainment Set to the 5.1 Surround Set are all on sale for 20% off.

If these aren’t the home theater deals you’re looking for, don’t worry: We’ve got a great roundup of Cyber Monday soundbar deals, and one of them will be just right for you.

This RTX 3070 gaming laptop deal for $1,000 officially wins Cyber Monday
Two models of the Asus TUF Dash against graphics on a background.

If you're shopping for a gaming laptop under $1,000, you know what to expect. An RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti in a very thick chassis. Well, that's where this Cyber Monday deal from Best Buy exceeds my expectations for what gaming laptops at this price can be.

The deal is for an Asus TUF Dash, which normally sells for $1,500. Thanks to a discount of $500, though, this powerful gaming laptop now lands just under $1,000. That's an incredible value, considering it packs an RTX 3070 inside. And that GPU really does make all the difference in game performance.

Why a Kindle Paperwhite is the best $100 you can spend on Cyber Monday
A personal reads on a Kindle Paperwhite while relaxing at campsite.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are prime times throughout the year to get mobile tech at lower-than-usual prices. That means there are ample Cyber Monday phone deals, tablet deals, and smartwatch deals. But those aren't the only mobile gadgets you can buy for cheap. Also available at a discount today is the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.

The Kindle Paperwhite isn't a particularly exciting mobile device, at least not on paper. It isn't a flashy flagship smartphone or a powerful tablet you can use to play CoD: Mobile. Instead, it's a very simple e-reader that's designed for reading e-books and nothing more. But it's because of that simplicity that the Kindle Paperwhite is so damn good — and why it's the best $100 you can spend on a new gadget this Cyber Monday.

Sonos finally has a smaller, more affordable wireless subwoofer
Sonos Sub Mini in white.

Following months of speculation, Sonos has announced the Sub Mini, a smaller and more affordable wireless subwoofer that works with the company's collection of wireless speakers and soundbars. It will be available starting October 6, in both black and white versions, for $429.

The new addition to the Sonos lineup is targeted at those with small-to-medium-sized rooms who want better low-end sound. It will be particularly well-suited to people who own the company's smaller soundbars like the Sonos Beam and Sonos Ray, for which the existing $749 Sonos Sub was a poor match both in price and power. In true Sonos fashion, you'll be able to pair the Sub Mini with almost any combination of Sonos products, with the exception of the company's portable speakers, the Move, and the Roam.
