This is an eventful week. On Thursday you’ve got Thanksgiving with the family. Then on Friday you’ve got Black Friday. Finally, on Monday there is Cyber Monday. While you’ll probably still need to wait for Thanksgiving (family needs to arrive and turkeys need to defrost), the shopping holidays are basically already here.

We’ve found tons of early Black Friday deals, including on the ultra classic early Black Friday TV deal. But, as conventional wisdom goes, if you buy a TV you’ll probably also want to buy a soundbar. Luckily, there are early Black Friday soundbar deals out there as well, like this one on the Sonos Arc. With the new Sonos Arc Ultra out, it’s a fantastic time to get the classic Sonos Arc. This deal brings its price down to $699 from its usual $899, saving you $200. Just tap the button below to find it among the many early Black Friday Walmart deals we’ll be shopping this year. Alternatively, keep reading to see why we like it so much.

Why you should buy the Sonos Arc

While our list of the best soundbars has the Sonos Ray listed as the “most versatile budget soundbar,” you might want to consider going with the Arc (even though it is more expensive) at a time like this. The Arc is a visually understated soundbar that brings quality surround sound to your TV setup. It has voice control from Alexa built in and, speaking of voices, has special speech enhancement software to make every word pop as you’re listening to music or hushed whispering dialogue from your favorite shows and movies. As mentioned in our Sonos Arc review, this is a made-for-TV soundbar, but the music listening experience is quite great, too, and you can get a lot out of it if you use the Tidal HiFi music service. For what it’s worth, our review called the Arc “the Swiss Army knife of soundbars,” and that should still hold up today.

To get your Sonos Arc for $699, go ahead and tap the button below. You’ll save $200 from the usual $899 that it sells for at Walmart. Or, if you’ve got Prime you can pick up the and use your Prime bonuses. In either event, you’re getting a good deal on a soundbar as a new member of the Sonos Arc family joins the fray.
