Sonos Black Friday deals are always among the most popular Black Friday deals every year, and you can expect offers on a wide range of Sonos products to start way before Black Friday itself – which falls on November 29 this year – with some deals already live.

Many retailers have already planned or announced sales ahead of Black Friday itself, with some weeks in advance. If you're in the US, Best Buy is launching its Black Friday sale on November 8 with new deals each week and Walmart's sale starts November 11. If you're in the UK, Argos has announced a sale this Friday, November 1, and Currys has launched a sale now, promising to price match any further discounts that take place all the way to December 2, Cyber Monday.

Sonos' products always feature among the best speakers and best soundbars not only due to their excellent sound quality, but their versatility for both music and movies. Plus, the range of speakers and soundbars can all be used together, offering a wealth of combinations to suit every space.

This year is particularly notable as we've seen the launch of the Sonos Arc Ultra, the successor to the popular Sonos Arc, so we're expecting some very nice discounts on the latter. We've also seen the long-awaited release of Sonos' own headphones, the Sonos Ace, so we're hoping for some deals on these too.

Sonos Arc soundbar: £799£694 at Amazon

Sonos Arc soundbar: was £799 now £694 at Amazon
The Sonos Arc proves that an all-in-one soundbar can do it all, delivering powerful, dynamic sound for movies – with great virtual Dolby Atmos effects – and excellent clarity and room-filling sound for music. This isn't the cheapest we've ever seen the Sonos Arc, as it dropped below £650 before, but any time the Arc drops below £700 is worth mentioning. If you're looking to buy today, this is the best deal you can get.

Sonos Ace headphones: £449£369 at John Lewis

Sonos Ace headphones: was £449 now £369 at John Lewis
Sonos' much anticipated headphones arrived in summer 2024 and although not quite the powerhouse for music they could've been, they're spectacular for movie viewing, particularly in Dolby Atmos, as they offer incredible spatial audio. This deal sees the Sonos Ace hit a record-low, and while we questioned their value at full price, this offer makes them a much more valuable and tempting option.

When will the Sonos Black Friday deals start in 2024?

Sonos Black Friday deals are starting to appear already and although we expect the real flurry to start in the coming days and weeks leading up to Black Friday itself, with retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart in the US and Argos and Currys in the UK launching sales soon, there are a few deals live now.

We've already seen discounts on Sonos products this year -- Amazon's Prime Day in July and Big Deals Days in October saw some low prices and rival retailers looked to match or beat these deals wherever they could so we expect more of the same during Black Friday.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy Sonos?

Black Friday is absolutely one of the best times to look for Sonos products. We've seen plenty of Sonos Black Friday deals result in record-low prices in the past and with the release of newer generation products such as the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sonos Sub 4, we're expecting discounts on older generation models.

It's worth pointing out that it's not always Black Friday itself – November 29 this year – that the best Sonos deals will appear, as we've seen record-low prices hit earlier in November before and then go back up later in the month! Make sure to keep this guide bookmarked to keep track of all the best Sonos Black Friday deals.

What Sonos Black Friday deals should I expect?

You can expect deals on Sonos' entire range of speakers and soundbars. Black Friday is a favorite time of year for Sonos to discount its whole range, alongside offering some great bundles for music and home theater.

Our most anticipated deal is on the original Sonos Arc soundbar. With the release of the Sonos Arc Ultra, prices for the Sonos Arc are already dropping, but we're hoping for some record-lows as a result of these cuts to its normal price – it's already dropped from £899 to £799 in the UK as the norm in some places!

The Sonos Sub 4 has also been released so we'd assume discounts to its predecessor, the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) are coming as well. There's also Sonos' range of speakers such as the Sonos Era 300, Sonos Era 100 and Sonos Move 2 that while the newest of the bunch have been around for a while now so we'd hope for some big discounts on these too.

Of course, there's Sonos older generation of products such as the Sonos Five, Sonos One and Sonos One SL that they'll be keen to get rid of so you can expect some discounts there too. The Sonos Move (1st generation) dropped as low as $299 last year, but any discounts this year will depend on whether there's still stock available.

Last year's best Sonos Black Friday deals in the US

Sonos Era 100: $249 $199 at Amazon

Sonos Era 100: was $249 now $199 at Amazon
In our dedicated review of this March 2023-release Sonos speaker, we said: "The Era 100 checks off almost everything we wanted to upgrade in the Sonos One" and called it "nearly the ideal small and flexible speaker". What gives? Well, it's not as refined through the bass as we've come to expect from Sonos, and we felt it a little pricey. This Amazon deal knocks 20% off the asking fee though, which makes it a lot more tempting…

Sonos Ray soundbar: was $279 now $223 at Amazon
Sonos doesn't deal solely in high-end kit and the proof is right here, in Sonos' most affordable soundbar. You don't get HDMI ports, Bluetooth or Dolby Atmos support, but you are still getting all the features and functionality of the Sonos wireless ecosystem. And because it launched in June of last year (and is pretty affordable anyway) we haven't seen too many discounts on it – and none like this 20% saving.

Image

Sonos Arc Dolby Atmos soundbar: was $899 now $719 at Sonos
This 20% off deal at Sonos is the level-cheapest we've ever seen the Arc, (it dropped to this fee briefly in October 2020) we wouldn't wait on it. For the money you're getting a punchy, powerful Dolby Atmos compatible soundbar that also sounds sensational for music. Setup is incredibly simple too. This is Sonos, remember, the firm that wrote the book on multi-room audio for your home. Will it drop by another $25 this year? Unlikely.

Image

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) soundbar: was $499 now $399 at Amazon
The second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar launched in October 2021 and while we have seen a few discounts to date, this $100 off equals the cheapest we've ever seen it and means 20% of the MSRP stays right with you. For your money you're getting a compact, stylish soundbar with excellent integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem, and immersive virtual Atmos support.

Image

Sonos Move: was $399 now $299 at Sonos
This $100 discount is the cheapest price we've seen for Sonos' portable speaker – although it has now been replaced by a new version (the Move 2), which costs $449. If you want big sound that you can carry around to use on Bluetooth, but that also works as a standard Sonos home multi-room speaker, this does it all.

Sonos Arc Dolby Atmos soundbar: was £899 now £669 at Amazon
This is just £2 dearer than we've ever seen the excellent Sonos Arc from a trusted online retailer! (To clarify: it dropped to £699 across a few online retailers for Black Friday 2023, then to £683 towards the end of the big day proper at Amazon – then £667 for Cyber Monday). The Arc is a sensational five-star soundbar with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus. And now, it's cheaper than ever! Setup is incredibly simple too. This is Sonos, remember, the firm that wrote the book on multi-room audio for your home. At this price, if you want one, we wouldn't hang about.

Sonos Era 300: was £449 now £404 at Hills Sound & Vision
At a full 10% off the RRP, this is the Era 300's lowest-seen price to date (don't be fooled by other retailers who may list bigger savings – but with a steeper RRP of £499. Naughty!) and it creates more space in your music than anything else we've heard for the same price or size. It gives you a real feeling of sounds being positioned with Dolby Atmos tracks, and even stereo gets more width than you'd think possible. Any downsides? If pushed, we'd love a little more bass extension, but it's still one of the most exciting speakers you can buy today – especially with this discount.

Sonos Move:£399£249 at Amazon

Sonos Move: was £399 now £249 at Amazon
Given that Sonos has since upgraded its first ever portable speaker, the original Move, which we gave four and a half stars in our Sonos Move review, is still a great option for anyone looking for big room-filling sound. It has a premium price tag but with this £150 saving, you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. This is also the cheapest we've seen it online in the UK, with Currys and John Lewis still selling it for £299 (at the time of writing) – so you're getting an extra £50 off!

Image

Sonos Sub (Gen 3): was £749 now £599 at Argos
Something about this design with the hole in the middle and those push-push drivers either side though, isn't there? Also of note is the £150 saving, which is the level-best price we've ever seen (it briefly dipped to this asking fee last year). Yes, there's a newer Sub Mini in Sonos land too, but come on, where subwoofers are concerned we know which we'd rather invite into our lounge…

Sonos Ray soundbar: was £270 now £219 at Argos
Sonos doesn't deal solely in high-end kit and the proof is right here, in Sonos' most affordable soundbar. You don't get HDMI ports, Bluetooth or Dolby Atmos support, but you are still getting all the features and functionality of the Sonos wireless ecosystem. And because it launched in June of last year (and is pretty affordable anyway) we haven't seen too many discounts on it.
