I'll never go back to just TV speakers after upgrading to a Sonos home theatre system — and this official sale is a great time to check out the difference for yourself

Sonos is synonymous with wireless multi-room audio and home theatre, and has long been known for making some of the best wireless speakers and best soundbars. The company has also recently introduced the Sonos Play and Era 100 SL speakers, which both have their sights set firmly on music playback.

While those two new models are now available to pre-order ahead of their launches at the end of this month, Sonos is hoping to ignite a multi-room, home theatre passion in all Australians and New Zealanders with a ‘March Madness’ sale that is seeing up to 25% off a range of speakers and soundbars.

As a Sonos aficionado myself, who has a complete Sonos home theatre setup and music speakers dotted further around my apartment, I can’t recommend the company’s devices enough for anyone wanting effective Dolby Atmos surround sound experiences or easy room-filling sound.

The Sonos March Madness sale covers a wide gamut of speakers, from the Arc Ultra soundbar through to the portable Roam 2 Bluetooth speaker.

What’s more, Sonos offers what it calls ‘Sets’ that combine various speakers and soundbars to help make your buying decisions easier. The prices of these Sets have also been discounted in line with the individual discounts, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to buy items individually.

How come? Well, if you buy a set, you commit to just one colour choice for all speakers and components. When buying individually, you’re free to choose whether you want white or black. In my case, I have a black Arc Ultra to help blend in with my dark TV unit and white Era 300s and Sub to blend in with my white sofa and lighter room decor.

The final decision is yours of course, I just wanted to add my two cents.

The full list of discounts available at Sonos AU is as follows:

• Sonos Arc Ultra: was AU$1,799 now AU$1,499
• Sonos Beam (Gen 2): was AU$799 now AU$599
• Sonos Sub 4: was AU$1,299 now AU$1,049

• Sonos Ace (Black only): was AU$599 now AU$449

You’ll want to be quick though, as this rare sale is only running until March 31.

I’ve highlighted my favourite deals below, but be sure to head to the Sonos AU or Sonos NZ website for the full selection of deals and discounts. I’ve seen The Good Guys beating the price on these by a small margin in some instances, so if you're after the absolute cheapest deal then check out the full Sonos range and the Good Guys site.

Sonos Arc Ultra: was AU$1,799 now AU$1,499 at Sonos

The Arc Ultra is the jewel in Sonos’ crown in my opinion. As a standalone soundbar it’s formidable, delivering exciting, room-filling sound that’s packed with detail and demonstrates excellent height effects. Pair it with some rear speakers and a subwoofer for a truly remarkable, wire-free surround sound setup.

The Sonos Arc Ultra is available in a variety of ‘Sets’, which pair it with anything from just a Sub 4 subwoofer, to a complete surround sound package with two Era 300 Atmos-enabled rear speakers. You can view the full range of sets in the table below.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2): was AU$799 now AU$599 at Sonos

The Sonos Beam is a terrific soundbar option for smaller rooms or anyone short on space. It’s also one of only a few soundbars that sound genuinely great when playing back music too. It supports Dolby Atmos despite not having upfiring speaker drivers, and while the Arc Ultra is ultimately more convincing, the Beam still does an admirable job. And of course, you can pair it with extra speakers for a more enveloping sound.

Speaker sets that include the Beam (Gen 2) are also available, and are as follows.

Sonos Roam 2: was AU$299 now AU$239 at Sonos

The Roam 2 is Sonos’ most portable speaker, and as such, is both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible. That means you can use it at home as a standalone speaker for playing music, integrate as part of a larger Sonos system or take it on the road with you. No matter how you use it, it sounds terrific, with quality aided by an ‘Automatic Trueplay’ function that automatically adjusts the EQ on the fly whenever you move it around.

Sonos Era 300: was AU$759 now AU$599 at Sonos

At the other end of the spectrum is the Era 300 — a larger, mains-powered wireless speaker that supports Dolby Atmos music. As a standalone speaker it delivers a genuinely expansive, detailed audio performance that only improves if you create a stereo pair.

Sonos Ace: was AU$599 now AU$449 at The Good Guys

I don’t think I’ll ever fall out of love with the Sonos Ace headphones. I use them on a regular basis and continue to find them to be the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn. The ANC performance is top-notch and I loved the expansive sound they can deliver. I would’ve loved this deal to have extended to the white model too (it looks the best in my opinion) but if you’re happy with black, this is a great price.

Available in white for AU$445 at The Good Guys.
