Sonos Beam With Dolby Atmos Hits Record Low on Amazon, Black Soundbar for Cyber Monday at Zero Margin

Sonos is known for making high-quality audio products and the Beam (Gen 2) shows why the company is still the best in the soundbar business. TVs these days are getting thinner and more stylish but that slim design comes with a trade-off: the built-in speakers don’t have enough room to make good sound. This makes a frustrating gap between beautiful 4K visuals and disappointing audio that ruins movies, shows, and music.

The Sonos Beam fixes this by turning your living room into a mini theater with Dolby Atmos support and smart home integration. For Cyber Monday weekend, you can get it for $349, which is $150 less than its normal price of $499. This is the lowest price ever and makes premium sound more affordable than ever.

High-Quality Sound Technology in a Small Package

The Beam has great hardware in a surprisingly small frame that won’t take over your entertainment center. The speaker array has one center tweeter, four full-range woofers, and three passive radiators that work together to make 200 watts of total output power. Five Class-D digital amplifiers power the array. With this setup, the soundbar can handle frequencies as low as 50.4 Hz and gives it deep bass without needing a separate subwoofer for most people. Dolby Atmos processing is what really makes the magic happen: It makes virtual height channels that bounce sound off your ceiling to make it sound like it’s coming from above.

The Beam from Sonos is more than just a TV and movie player: When your screen is off, the soundbar becomes a high-tech music streaming device that connects to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and many other services through built-in Wi-Fi. The Trueplay tuning technology uses the microphone on your iPhone to figure out how sound travels in your room and automatically changes the sound profile to make up for furniture, wall materials, and the shape of the room.

You can use the Sonos app, your current TV remote through HDMI-ARC, Apple AirPlay 2 for iOS users, or voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to control everything. It only takes a few minutes to set up because you only need two cables: one HDMI cable to connect to your TV and one power cord. This means you won’t have to deal with the mess of wires that come with most surround sound systems.

Sonos is better than its competitors because you can add more devices to it while their ecosystems are closed and don’t allow for many upgrades. You can start with just the Beam and then add a Sonos Sub for deeper bass or pair two Sonos One speakers as rear channels to get real 5.1 surround sound. You can play music in different rooms or make a whole-home audio system that plays the same content in all of them because every Sonos speaker connects wirelessly to your home network.

This Cyber Monday deal is a great deal for anyone who takes their home entertainment seriously because it’s only $349 instead of the usual $499. Soundbars that work with Dolby Atmos usually cost $600 or more. Cheaper options, on the other hand, may not be as well built, may not support apps, or may not be able to be expanded in the future.
