Sonos Speakers - upto 25% off

eclipsechaser

Maybe if someone has a spare code, we could all put in a gigantic order for multiple people?

ablelocks

what was the format of the code - can someone post a "used" one? I had seen one on reddit but can't find it now

none for me - i got an email about the new move 2, but no discount codes.

sorted for now anyway - got a roam from adverts 30% cheaper and the currys one is approx a 37.5% discount

Buttros

Got a 20% code also. Reckon I'd be better off waiting for black Friday for an Arc.

As an aside if you use a revolut card and go to Sonos via the app and pay with your revolut card there is I think 3% cash back. I presume this will work fine with any code as it's not an offer or sale

I have a 40% code that I will be using this weekend. I plan to get two Move 2's and two ERA 100's.

I have A white Sonos Move and a white Sonos Five for sale on Adverts. If either are of interest to anyone here, I could use the balance of the code for other items you are interested in and add to my order. Works for speakers and accessories.

My Adverts usename is mope_head. I'm located in Swords. Prefer if you have good feedback on Adverts if possible.

Let me know if there's any interest.

Thanks.

Are the Beam / Arc considered good soundbars? Can they replace 5.1 setups?

I guess you can create a 5.1 setup if you buy extra speakers and hook them up right?

Would having just a Beam / Arc solve the streaming issue of quiet voices and crazy loud action scenes?

Few questions as interested in getting one

I have a gen1 beam and 2 rear speakers and I love the sound of this gives nice surround effects and you can adjust the rear speaker separately (no sub as can't justify the price). There is a an option to improve dialogue and a night mode option to lower the bigger noises such as explosions and such when other people are in bed. Right now the beam gen2 supports dolby atmos but you won't get the true effect of this as there isn't an option to add ceiling speakers.

GoodGamerGuy

Thanks for the info. Did you look into the Arc at all? Curious if its much better than the Beam2

What rear speakers did you get?

Wossack

I’ve a beam gen2, paired with a sub mini and 2x era 100’s and I’m pretty happy. Surround is much improved with the era’s, and the sub is really good. So good it’s maybe showing up the beam hah, maybe I should have gotten the arc - while the beam is great, it doesn’t have a very wide sound stage.. this may be an issue with all soundbars, and I’m sadly unable to accommodate a full/ proper 5.1 set up

@GoodGamerGuy - If you want really good reviews on Sonos products & setup, youtuber Peter Pee from Singapore is excellent.

Here is his Arc v Beam 2 video - is quite long at nearly 30 mins, but extremely comprehensive. You can speed it up by playing at 1.25x speed.

I watched a lot of his vids before deciding on an Arc + Era 300s for surrounds.

the move is available for 330, seems a decent discount

GoodGamerGuy

Thanks all going to review that video now cheers

Muahahaha

Anyone know is there typically a discount on the Bean 2 for Black Friday? What would be the cheapest it can be got

captainshamroc

One SL 25% off at the moment.

Assume its being replaced by the more expensive era but its a decent speaker at a decent price.

Last year they had it on a good discount, think it was about 100 euro off.

I have the Beam 1 and to be honest, it struggles as a standalone home cinema solution, you need two rear speakers to really get oomph out of it. I have two Symfonisks from Ikea that do the job just fine.

The Arc is a big step up in sound but also in price.

Sonos have additional 15% off using Unidays Student discount and 3% cashback on revolut when bought through their site, has anyone tried this? Also if anyone can hook me up with a unidays discount code that would be great.

I bought Q990c after reading a lot of reviews and tbh I wasn't very impressed. It sounds fuller only on very high volumes so bit of an overkill for average Irish Living rooms. Also the sub is huge so no room for that. The music performance is okay. Couldn't really feel the Atmos effect too. I am aware it needs walls to bounce sound off so the room matters.

I am planning to return it and get Beam gen 2 + sub. Like the form factor and have seen decent reviews also will be able to add One in future if needed as they are small and perfect for surround. Not really looking for atmos.

Does anyone have any insight into Beam gen 2 + Sub, Peter pee review says the Beam gen 2 + sub is comparable to Sonos Arc standalone with better bass.

Student discount only works on full priced items - tried to use it on some things discounted for Black Friday and the Black Friday discount was removed

ablelocks

link to the refurbished page - it's not listed (that i can see) in the Sonos site menus : Certified Refurbished Speakers

not much saving on what little there is listed, but I guess the listings will change depending on returns etc so handy to have a link to keep an eye on...

note there is a 25% sale on certain items and bundles in the offers page

SeanyMc22

CEX sometimes have the SONOS One from €55 for a Grade C, €65 for Grade B. Grade B is genuinely pretty good condition without a box. Handy add ons for a cinema. Will be looking to add a Sub or Arc to the 2 Grade B's I picked up from CEX. Both were in great condition.

30% off any new speaker This week only, your 15% upgrade credit is worth 30% off through the Sonos Upgrade Programme.

only until the 29th Feb - and it doesn't stack on already discounted speakers.

savemejebus

I think you only need to activate the discount this week, the 30% credit is supposed to remain on your account indefinitely once activated.

edit: am wrong it drops back to 15% after Thursday

Thanks for this. Registered by 4 X Play 1's.

Looks like it doesn't expire either.

Nigel Fairservice

Registered x 2. Was half thinking of getting an Arc. Will watch some more videos on them!

Peter Pee's Youtube channel is excellent. Super knowledgeable and answered most of my questions, particularly in deciding whether to get Era 100 or Era 300s for surrounds.

Damn you bargain alerts....Registered a Play:1 and got a Beam2, Sub mini and 2 Era 100's with the 30% discount.

Nigel Fairservice

Watched a few videos and still in two minds whether to get an Arc or a Beam 2 with sub mini. Roughly similar prices.

ablelocks

can anyone recommend covers or skins for sonos one 2nd generation - to protect a pair I'm going to put up high on kitchen cabinets

have seen soundskins but they are a bit expensive?

wassie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121827538#Comment_121827538

Probably depends on size of the space. If its a small room the beam would suffice. But if its a bit larger, the Arc does not disappoint. I watched Avatar over the weekend and sound from the Arc was superb.

I got a soundskin for my Arc & Sub gen 2 during Black Friday sales with 20% off. Happy with the product, but even with the discount I feel they are massively overpriced. The Arc cover arrived with a mark on it. I contacted support and they sent out a new one and didnt need the original returned, so gave it to a friend. But there isnt much else on the market. I think if you could get speaker cloth and were a little bit handy you could come up with a very good cover.

Does it affect the sound?

I have an Arc with 2 Ones for surround.

My room isn't massive so I didn't bother with a sub, the Arc provides more than enough base (I actually have to turn the base down as it's seriously loud).

Nigel Fairservice

Thanks for the advice lads. I'm leaning towards the Arc. The room it'll be going into will be a kitchen/living/dining space so the room is a decent size.

dubmick

The arc is fantastic but just be aware there are voice sync issues if using with SkyQ.

tobdom

I'm a big Sonos fan with two Sonos Ones (Gen 2) and wanted to avail of the 30% upgrade discount, so ordered a Sonos Era 100.

In my review/reseach before ordering, I somehow missed that the Era 100/300 do not support Google Assistant!! That is a major issue for me and would probably have stopped me from ordering if I knew in advance. As it is, I'll see how I get on with it for the time being (it does have its own Sonos Voice Controller - which is not a smart assistant).

Just as an FYI for anyone expecting their Eras to be compatible with Google.

You just need to setup the audio delay in the Sky Q box.

I have Sky Q with my Arc and I've no issues, though I did have to initially change the audio delay.

awec

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121832232#Comment_121832232

If I were you I'd buy the Arc and use it for a while and only get a sub if you find the base isn't substantial enough.

dubmick

I did that and it’s still off for me and also many more on the sky community pages.

Nigel Fairservice

I put in my order for the Arc. 30% off was too good to pass up.

Basq

Bah.. waited too long. Down to 15% now.

Will wait for the 30% drop to come back.

Just checked and Richersounds are offering the same Euro prices plus their 6 year guarantee.

sonos playbase 1 - €400 - not sure if this is actually a bargain or not given it's first generation…

Wossack

I would actively discourage people from Sonos if you are not already invested - the new app foisted upon the user base is in a shocking state currently..

Heard a lot of grief about it but I've not used the Sonos app in years tbh... integrates directly with Spotify app.
