For the first time this year, Sonos’ flagship Arc Ultra soundbar is showing up in the company’s refurbished section. Right now, you can pick one up for just $879, a savings of exactly 20% off the brand new retail price of $1099.
If you’re on the fence solely because this is a refurb item, don’t be. Sonos recertified products go through rigorous testing; they come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation and are reshipped in “pristine” packaging. Most importantly, Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new.

The Arc Ultra is Sonos’ highest end soundbar and speaker
Given the number of upgrades, the Sonos Arc Ultra should be considered more as a new class of flagship soundbar than a mere update of the original Arc. At first glance, both look similar, with the same 46″ long profile, but the internals are totally different. Whereas the Arc featured a 5.0.2ch setup with eleven speakers and no sub, the Arc Ultra boasts an expanded 9.4.1ch setup with fourteen speakers including a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer for better bass response and low end. This is a pretty significant upgrade alone if you don’t plan on adding a discrete subwoofer.
The Arc Ultra also supports Dolby Atmos thanks to two dedicated up-firing tweeters for spatial audio and new AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands using your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.
The Sonos Arc is still an excellent and cheaper alternative

The release of the Arc Ultra doesn’t make the Arc any less of a great speaker. The certified refurbished Sonos Arc has been marked down to just $449 with free delivery. That’s still $430 less than a refurb Arc Ultra, and those savings are nothing to sniff at. If you do plan on adding a discrete subwoofer to your setup, then the Arc Ultra’s built-in Sound Motion woofer isn’t as big of an upgrade for you. The Arc still has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support.
