Finding a Sonos speaker on sale is about as rare as spotting a comet — it happens, but rarely. That because Sonos, like several top-end manufacturers, prefers to stand by its pricing, instead offering incentives to persuade customers to pick one up.
With that in mind, we wouldn’t recommend passing on the chance to score a free $30 Amazon Gift Card when you purchase a Two Room Sonos Play:1 Bundle through the retailer, which will set you back $298 — a modest $149 per speaker.
So if a Sonos Play:1 usually retails for $194 and you’re getting two for $298, where’s the savings? That would come in the form of the $30 Amazon Gift Card that can be redeemed against future Amazon purchases, or converted to cold, hard cash.
Sonos Play:1 Two Room Set with $30 Gift Card:
Basic Math: $298 – $30 = $268.
Let’s face it: The prospect of receiving free money is a lot more appealing than a savings. But whichever way you slice it, you’re still saving $30 on the price of the speakers, regardless of whether it’s deducted at checkout or handed back to you.
Sonos has been the leader in wireless Hi-Fi since the dawn of time (a bit of an exaggeration, we know), fusing impressive audio quality with a best-in-class multi-device playback engine to create an at-home listening experience like no other.
Where Sonos sets its self aside from the crowd is with its software; customers can stream a different song on each speaker or assign them both the same one, the latter of which is streamed in perfect synchronization, even if they’re in different rooms.
The Sonos Play:1 is such a fantastic entry-level wireless speaker that we’d recommend purchasing it even if it wasn’t on sale, so the offer to pick up two for $30 less than the pair would usually set you back is one that’s not to be turned down.
“With versatility, solid performance, clean aesthetic design, and a plethora of available features, the Sonos Play:1 serves up an impressive array of talents,” concluded our A/V and Entertainment Editor Ryan Waniata in our comprehensive review.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
