Amazon’s having a hush-hush sale on select Bose audio products

If you’re looking for gifts for dads, grads, yourself, or anyone else who appreciates good sound, Amazon has a wide selection of Bose products on sale with significant discounts today. Amazon’s Bose sale listings don’t include an end date and quantities may be limited, so if this deal appeals, don’t hesitate.

Amazon is not offering discounts on all Bose products. The “Get it by Monday, June 11” prompt under the Bose items might lead you to think everything is on sale, but that’s not the case. The date refers to a fast shipping option, not a sale end date.

The listings may change without notice, but we’ve listed some of the Bose audio product deals that caught our eye at the time of publication.

Sonos users who subscribe to Amazon Music can enjoy Dolby Atmos Music and lossless, hi-res audio on select Sonos speakers starting today, December 7. To get these new features, you'll need an Amazon Music Unlimited account and the latest Sonos software, which you can grab by opening the Sonos S2 app and going to Settings > System > System Updates > Check for Updates.

Dolby Atmos Music tracks from Amazon Music will work on Sonos' two Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers, the $899 Sonos Arc and the $449 Sonos Beam Gen 2. However, if you have these speakers grouped with non-Atmos-compatible speakers when you play your desired tracks or playlists, the streams will default to the highest quality, non-Atmos format supported by all speakers in the group.

Amazon has announced that its streaming music service, Amazon Music, is going to significantly expand the number of devices that let subscribers listen to tracks in spatial audio.
