Sonos Refurbished Gear Discount: A Coincidence or a Calculated Move?

Sonos is offering a 25% discount on select refurbished audio gear until April 22, but is there more to this Earth Day promotion than meets the eye?

Okay, let’s talk about Sonos and their ‘coincidental’ 25% off on refurbished gear during Earth Day. I mean, come on, the Arc soundbar drops to $599 (that’s $120 saved), and suddenly it’s all about saving the planet? Feels a bit like they’re playing us with the whole eco-friendly angle while clearing out their refurbished stock. And it’s not just the Arc—Sub subwoofer’s at $479 ($160 off), Sub Mini’s a steal at $259 ($90 off), and even the Ace headphones are in on this ‘deal’ at $269 ($90 saved). Then there’s the Beam soundbars: Gen 2 for $299 and Gen 1 at a head-scratching $191. Sure, buying refurbished is a win for Mother Earth, but is Sonos actually giving back to conservation efforts, or is this just a slick move to move inventory? The ‘offer’ lasts till April 22, or until they run out—because nothing gets you clicking ‘buy now’ like a fake timer. Peek at the full lineup if you must, but keep your wits about you.
