By Aaron Mamiit January 30, 2024

If you’re thinking about taking advantage of Bluetooth speaker deals, why not go for smart speakers instead? Best Buy just slashed the prices of the Sonos One SL and the second-generation Sonos One, with the Sonos One SL down to $159 from $200 for $41 in savings and the Sonos One Gen 2 down to $175 from $220 for $45 in savings. Either of these smart speakers will be an amazing addition to your home, but you’re going to have to hurry with choosing which one to purchase because these offers are only available for a limited time. If you take too long with your decision, you may miss out on both bargains.

The Sonos One SL is a more affordable version of the first-generation Sonos One, but it comes with most of the smart speaker’s most helpful features such as the capability to play room-filling sound with its tweeter and a mid-woofer, compatibility with the Sonos Controller app so you can search for songs and control playback through your smartphone or tablet, and support for Apple AirPlay 2 to easily stream music from your iPhone or iPad. Two Sonos One SL smart speakers can pair up for stereo sound, or connect with a Sonos soundbar to enable surround sound. The Sonos One SL doesn’t have a microphone though, which means it doesn’t work with voice assistants.

The second-generation Sonos One is in our roundup of the best smart speakers as the runner-up for the top spot. Its upgrades from the first-generation Sonos One include touch controls and Bluetooth 5.0, but it retains most of the features that made its predecessor so popular, including the ability to create a multi-room audio system, and unlike the Sonos One SL, it’s equipped with four far-field microphones that enables support for voice commands through either Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant. You can use these digital assistants to control playback, search for information, and access a wide variety of skills for checking traffic and finding recipes, among many other uses. The second-generation Sonos One also works with the Sonos app, through which you can access all of the popular music streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify.

Flash deal: Get $100 off the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones

Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4

Sennheiser is a big name when it comes to consumer audio, and if you're looking to grab some of the best headphones on the market, then you'll want to grab a pair of Sennheiser headphones. Of course, battling it out at the top with other big names like Sony and Apple means that Sennheiser headphones can get quite expensive, so this deal on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is perfect. As a pair of high-end headphones, they come at a premium, but Best Buy has discounted them down to $300 from the original $400, although be aware that the deal is ending today, so snap it up quickly before it expires.

Why you should buy the Sennheiser Momentum 4
While the Sennheiser Momentum 4 may not be as widely known as some other high-end headphones out there, it easily competes, if not outperforms, the likes of Sony WH-1000XM5 or even the AirPods Max when it comes to audio fidelity. That's no surprise, given that Sennheiser also makes professional audio-grade headphones for studios, and with that comes the experience of creating a clear and wide sound with an impressive bass that is expressive rather than thumping and loud. The treble is more refined and textured, while the Momentum 4 does an excellent job of making voices clear without muddling the rest of the frequencies.

The best soundbar Bose makes is $100 off right now, and a must-buy

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar in black.

While there are a lot of big audio brands out there, Bose is one of the biggest and most well-known and makes some of the best headphones on the market right now. Bose doesn't limit itself to just headphones, though, and it's also branched out to make some of the best soundbars on the market as well. Of course, Bose's soundbars do tend to be expensive, but luckily, there's a deal from Best Buy that discounts the original $900 down to $800.

Why you should buy the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar
While the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar doesn't come with a subwoofer or satellite speakers, it does a good job of recreating surround sound for the whole room with just six speakers in its little frame. It comes with both Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace, which help create a wider soundstage so that you can hear things with a bit more detail. In fact, it also has a fancy AI Dialogue mode, which helps adjust the audio to make the voice sound clearer, which is important given that most shows and films these days tend to lower the volume of the actors' voices.
