Sonos is having a number of Labor Day sales on speakers and bundles right now that discount gear by up to 20 percent. The most notable deal is on the Era 100 smart speaker, which is marked down to $200, down from $250. The Era 100 made our list of the best smart speakers, and for good reason. This is a speaker designed, first and foremost, for sound quality. It includes two tweeters, where most smart speakers have one, and a very large woofer. All that leads to impressive bass, great volume and high end clarity.
And, of course, a smart speaker. Built-in microphones help optimize the output based on where the speaker is placed. It works with many smart voice control assistants, including Alexa or the company’s proprietary assistant. It doesn’t work with Google Assistant, which can be a deal breaker for some.

There is a USB-C line and Bluetooth for setting up multiple speakers. In fact, you can complete a home surround sound theater system by pairing two of these together with a sound bar.
This is a worldwide sale, so the Era 100 is far from the only deal available. The Move 2 portable speaker is marked down to $360 from $450 and the Beam 2 sound bar is on sale for $400 instead of $500. The company’s impressive Ace headphones are also discounted to $400 from $450.
Sale also applies to bundles, for those looking for a complete setup. A combo containing both the Era 100 and Move 2 is available for $578, a savings of $120.
