A speaker doesn't have to be brand new to sound good. Sonos speakers get high
marks in our reviews and buying guides and the company has one of the better
refurbished programs out there. Right now, you can grab a refurbished Sonos
Arc SL soundbar for $509, which is $170 off the refurbished price and $240
off the speaker's full $749 price tag when it was new. A decent selection of
other renewed soundbars and speakers are also on sale at Sonos, with up to 25
percent off the refurbished prices.

We named the Sonos Arc the runner-up premium soundbar in our buying guide,
praising its stellar sound quality and ability to calibrate its sound to
match the room its in. The difference between the Sonos Arc and the Arc SL is
the lack of a microphone, so you won't be able to talk to Alexa or the Google
Assistant directly through your speaker. That might be a plus for anyone
interested in the extra privacy of a mic-less device. Other than the lack of
microphone, the Arc SL hardware is the same. It can even calibrate its sound
to the room with the Trueplay feature, which uses the Sonos app on an iOS
device to measure how sound reflects off your walls and furniture. The Arc SL
is Wi-Fi enabled, supports Dolby Atmos, Apple Air Play 2 and connects to your
TV via HDMI ARC or eARC. Though, sadly, there's just one HDMI port.

Buying a refurbished device from Sonos carries a lot of the same perks of
buying new, including the same one-year warranty, all necessary cables and
manuals plus all-new packaging. They also donate one percent of refurbished
sales to environmental non-profits as part of 1% for the Planet.

If you'd rather a speaker that does have a mic, the refurbished second-
generation Beam soundbar is also on sale. It's down to $299 after a $100
discount off the refurbished rate ΓÇö which works out to $200 off the brand
new sticker price. The Beam is our top pick for a mid-range soundbar in our
guide and has great sound quality, supports Dolby Atmos and, like all of the
company's wares, does an excellent job of pairing up with other Sonos
speakers.
