The Sonos Arc Ultra is our pick for the best soundbar overall, and you can get it bundled with the Sub 4 subwoofer for a record low price of $1,499 right now for Black Friday. At 25% off, that's the best deal we've seen on the combo, according to price-tracking tools.
Sonos dominates the soundbar space, with some of the best smart speakers and surround sound systems on the market. The Arc Ultra is the brand's latest flagship soundbar and comes with all the premium features you'd expect at this price point, like Bluetooth connectivity, Dolby Atmos support, spatial audio, voice assistant from Amazon Alexa, and Sonos Voice Control. It has excellent audio quality and impressive bass, and its minimalist design looks great on any TV stand or wall. PCMag gives the Sonos Arc Ultra an "outstanding" rating.
The Arc Ultra alone performs better than most soundbar and subwoofer combos, but the deal currently available includes the also-excellent Sub 4 for an even more immersive experience.
Note that the Arc Ultra is a large soundbar—measuring in at 2.95 by 46.38 by 4.35 inches and 13 pounds—so you'll need plenty of space for it.
How long do Black Friday deals really last?
Black Friday sales officially begin Friday, November 28, 2025, and run throughout “Cyber Week,” the five-day period that runs from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. But Black Friday and Cyber Monday dates have expanded as retailers compete for customers. You can get the same Black Friday sales early, and we expect sales to wind down by December 3, 2025.
What stores have the best sales on Black Friday?
Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Black Friday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers who can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog.
Are Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
