Are you ready to add some pulse-pounding home theater sound to your living room? Following soundbar deals can be a real chore, but sometimes you’ll find a fantastic markdown on some truly top-shelf tech. As a matter of fact, we came across a great discount on one of the best Sonos home theater devices:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the Sonos Arc at Adorama for $720. At full price, this model sells for $900. When it comes to flagship sound, Sonos knows a thing or two about dialing in those decibels. This excellent soundbar is also a part of Adorama’s Labor Day Sale, which runs now through September 2.

Why you should buy the Sonos Arc

Released back in 2020, the Sonos Arc is a premium home theater product that delivers the kind of engulfing audio you’d expect from a soundbar that costs more than $1,000.

Designed to decode and deliver Dolby Atmos sound, the Sonos Arc harnesses the power of Class D amplification and the company’s signature audio processing to deliver a full three-dimensional surround experience without a sub or rear speakers. Do keep in mind you can always add a Sonos subwoofer and a pair of Sonos speakers down the line for an even bigger soundstage!

Thanks to Sonos’ TruePlay tech, once you set the Sonos Arc up, you’ll be able to calibrate the soundbar to deliver the best audio based on your listening environment. You’ll also be able to stream music wirelessly via the Sonos S2 app, Apple AirPlay 2, Alexa, or Google Assistant. While Bluetooth support isn’t available, these other wire-free standards are exceptional ways to enjoy your tunes!

The Sonos Arc is a bit of a rare bird when it comes to markdowns. There are times of the year when it’s always on sale, and then there are times when it doesn’t budge from its MSRP. That being said, now is one of the better times to buy.

Save $180 when you order the Sonos Arc through Adorama between now and September 2, and be sure to have a look at some of the other Sonos deals we found today! We also have a list of Bluetooth speaker deals if all you’re looking for is a great way to listen to your favorite tunes.

The Sonos Ace wireless headphones were just released in June, so there hasn't been a lot of opportunities to buy them with a discount. That's why you shouldn't miss this rare chance from the Amazon Labor Day deals to get them for cheaper than usual -- they're down to $399 from their original price of $449. There's no assurance that the $50 in savings will still be available during the last minutes of the holiday though, so if you want to take advantage of this bargain, you need to drop everything else and complete your purchase for these wireless headphones right now.

Why you should buy the Sonos Ace wireless headphones
The Sonos Ace are the first wireless headphones made by the company that's a fixture in our roundup of the best soundbars, and they certainly delivered. The custom-designed driver of the headphones provide topnotch sound quality, and their support for spatial audio will immerse you in 3D sound. There are tactile controls for adjusting volume and answering calls, and the TV Audio Swap feature will let you pipe full Dolby Atmos spatial audio from your Sonos Arc soundbar to the Sonos Ace wireless headphones.

This AirPods Max Labor Day deal is the cheapest they’ve been since Prime Day

The Apple AirPods Max are down to only $399 from Amazon as part of the retailer's Labor Day deals, which is the cheapest that they've been since Prime Day in July when they were down to $394. You wouldn't want to miss this $150 discount on their original price of $549, so we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as you can. It's not a good idea to wait until the last minute of the holiday, as stocks of the popular wireless headphones that are up for sale may be gone by then.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
It's no secret that the Apple AirPods Max are expensive (though Amazon's discount for Labor Day helps bring it within reach for more people), but they're worth it as "the most fun headphones ever" with excellent quality in terms of their build and sound. Their active noise cancellation is amazing in blocking external sound, while transparency mode will let you hear what's going on around you without having to take them off. They support personalized spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, and they can last up to 20 hours on a single charge with this feature and ANC and both enabled.
