Sonos Beam Gen 2 sound bar
Sonos/CNET

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is off to the races, and one of its early deals slashes the price of the popular Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar to its lowest price ever at $369. That's $130 off its normal list price of $499. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current home entertainment system or you're setting up a whole new one, this is the deal for you.

I can't vouch for how long this deal will last, but I do know it's available for both the black and white versions -- just be sure to pick the one that best fits your setup before adding anything to your cart.

On CNET's list of the best smart soundbars, the 200-watt Sonos Beam Gen 2 received the award for best music streaming soundbar. However, it can also be used to stream radio, podcasts and audiobooks. The Dolby Atmos surround sound technology provides a 3D effect, creating a crystal-clear panoramic soundstage that sounds like it's all around you. Just make sure you have a TV that supports Dolby Atmos and Atmos content.

To control your Sonos Beam Gen 2, you can use Wi-Fi to connect the Sonos app, your voice with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, Apple AirPlay 2 and your TV remote. Or simply use the touch controls directly on the soundbar to adjust volume, skip a track, pause music and more. 

Assembly is especially easy because the soundbar requires only two cables. Plus, you can use smart Trueplay tuning, along with step-by-step instructions on the Sonos app, to easily set up your Sonos Beam Gen 2. 

Why this deal matters

Sonos deals are as rare as hens' teeth, and the Sonos Beam Gen 2 is down to its lowest price ever on Amazon. We're not seeing lower prices on new models at any other retailer. Plus, with Amazon Prime, you get free, fast shipping and free returns, which few retailers offer. That means no surprise shipping costs are added once you check out with the item.
