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?

Is it just me, or does the timing of Sonos’s 25% discount on refurbished gear scream ‘too convenient’? Coinciding with Earth Day, the audio giant is slashing prices on certified refurbished products, including the Arc soundbar now at $599, a $120 saving. But let’s not overlook the bigger picture here. Why now? Why Earth Day? It’s almost as if they’re using environmental goodwill as a smokescreen for pushing out refurbished inventory. The Sub subwoofer is $160 off at $479, and the Sub Mini is $90 off at $259. Even the Ace headphones are part of this ‘generous’ offer at $269, saving you $90. And let’s not forget the Beam soundbar models, with the Gen 2 at $299 and the Gen 1 at a suspiciously low $191. Sure, buying refurbished is great for the planet, but is Sonos really donating a portion of sales to conservation nonprofits, or is this just a clever ruse to clear stock? The deal runs through April 22, or until supplies last—because nothing says ‘limited time offer’ like a countdown to create urgency. Check out the full list of available items, but remember, not everything is as it seems.
