If you were hoping to buy a Sonos Arc soundbar in the Black Friday sales this year, you were probably left very disappointed – but we’ve got an excellent Black Friday soundbar deal that you should buy instead.
Anyone who’s looking for a fantastic soundbar at a discount should buy the brilliant Samsung HW-Q700A, which has been reduced from $699.99 to $399.99 at Best Buy, saving you $300.
You can also save on the Samsung HW-Q700A in the UK, with Currys slashing the price from £699 to £399 in a late Black Friday deal that’s still ripe for the picking. (Not in the US or the UK? Scroll down for the best deals in your region.)
The Sonos Arc may be our pick for the best soundbar you can buy in 2021, but it’s no secret that the Sonos Black Friday deals have been very disappointing this year. There were no deals at all in the US, while UK buyers can still save £20 on the Dolby Atmos wonder at Sevenoaks, which brings the price down from £899 to £879.
However, even this deal is a little deceptive as Sonos recently increased its prices. Even with the discount, you’re actually paying a lot more for the Sonos Arc than you would have done this time last year.
Today’s best Black Friday soundbar deals
By contrast, the Samsung HW-Q700A has been given a really generous discount in the sales, and it comes with many of the same capabilities as the Sonos Arc. These include Dolby Atmos support, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, and Amazon Alexa compatibility.
Not only that, but it also comes with a wireless subwoofer. If you were buying the Arc, you’d need to shell out extra for the Sonos Sub.
For us, it’s a no brainer – even if the HW-Q700A probably won’t offer the same outstanding audio performance as the Sonos Arc, it’ll still easily beat the puny speakers built-into your TV.
We’ll continue to scout for more discounts as the Cyber Monday soundbar deals start rolling in from Monday – be sure to bookmark our guide to the very best Cyber Monday deals for discounts on all kinds of gadgets, too.
