Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website.

Sonos Memorial Day 2024 Sale

May 24, 2024 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday May 25, 2024: The long weekend is upon us but where is Sonos’ Memorial Day sale? Unfortunately, just as we expected, there is no sale from Sonos this Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. (however there they are offering a “summer sale” for their European customers). Unlike on Black Friday and Cyber Monday where they almost always have a handful of bargains, we’ve never actually seen them offer a Memorial Day sale in the United States ever since we starting tracking them a few years ago. However, you can still save on your new Sonos speakers if you know where to look!

Where to find a good deal on Sonos?

There’s two spots where we keep our eyes open for deals from Sonos. The first one is rather obvious — Amazon. If anyone has discounts it’s them. Just keep be mindful of the seller as… it’s always best to choose “shipped and sold from Amazon” to ensure you’re getting an authentic and first-rate item. Note: we earn a small an affiliate commission from Amazon when you buy through our link. It helps us keep this site up and running.

The second place where we hunt for deals on Sonos speakers is in their certified refurbished section on sonos.com. Not only will you save anywhere from $50 to $150 per speaker plus get free shipping, but you wouldn’t even know they were refurbished; all units have been replaced with genuine parts where needed, tested and repackaged. They also come with a one-year warranty and Sonos quality guarantee. And if you decide to send it back for whatever reason then return shipping is free as well.

Below you’ll see some of the speakers, subwoofers and surround sets that you can find today in the certified refurbished section. Keep in mind that newer products, for example the Ray, won’t find its way into the refurbished section until some time passes (we’ve noticed that it’s at least a year after the initial release date until they begin showing up).

It’s also worth mentioning that Sonos often has a small discount already included in their surround sound bundles. For example, the set that includes the Beam, Sub (Gen 3) and a pair of One SL speakers is $97 cheaper in the set as opposed to purchasing each component separately. Even the smaller bundles like the two-room Sonos One set is $19 less than if you would buy both speakers individually.
