Because this is available to everyone with free shipping. That $400 clearance in-store only was extremely YMMV and limited. There wasn't a single Sub available at that price at any of the 20+ Costco locations near me.

Community Reviews

Sonos Sub Gen 3 is a strong add on for Sonos soundbars, bringing a noticeable boost in low end and making the system easier to set up than a separate receiver and sub. The Costco price is especially appealing because it includes free shipping and an $80 Apple or SiriusXM credit, and the .97 pricing suggests limited inventory. A $50 off $500 Costco email coupon can also work with a small filler item to clear the threshold. The main caveat is that some find the bass improvement modest for the money, and the large boxy design takes up space.

  • Costco shoppers can use a $50 off $500+ email coupon to lower the effective purchase price.

  • Free shipping makes the $499.97 price more broadly available than prior in-store clearance deals.

  • The deal includes an $80 Apple gift card bonus that can further reduce the out-of-pocket cost.

  • Sonos Sub Gen 3 can be easier to set up than some alternative soundbar plus sub setups.

    G60roddo

  • The $399.97 clearance price for Sub 3 has been reported as in-store only and highly YMMV.

    satchameseahawksseahawks

  • Sonos Sub Gen 3 performance can feel underwhelming for buyers expecting it to "slam" based on reviews.

    Ryanw209G60roddo

  • The Sub Gen 3 is described as a lifestyle or aesthetic product rather than a top choice for real bass performance.

    Zorbat1446

  • The setup can be described as not "wife friendly" due to large boxy cables and space usage.

Main differences between Gen 3 and 4:

Gen 4 has matte finish vs 3 has piano finish. Gen 4 has newer WiFi 6

But Gen 3 supports a wider range of older Sonos speakers (Play:1, Play:3, Play:5, Playbar). Gen 4 does not.
Did they ever fix the app?

Got excited for this but then checked my order history on Sonos.com and it was $699 MSRP back in 2020 and I got it for $490 back then with the widely available 30% coupon. They really jacked up the price over the years.

I have 2 of the Gen 4's for my Ultra Arc. Whoa. Get at least one of these if you have a Sonos Soundbar, it will make a beautiful difference in low end.....

For some context and those unaware, 2 months ago, some Costco stores had clearance priced the Sub 3 to $399. It was in-store only, and was very YMMV.

This is strictly an eye-candy WAF-driven "lifestyle" product. Perfectly fine if that's what you want.

But if you are interested in REAL bass performance, there are any number of much better uses of $500, folks.

Klipsch RP-440D and Dennon receiver. I'm not sure if the speaker is any better than the sonos but it does fit our space better. And I have a lot more flexibility as well as a few extra bucks in my pocket.

Definitely more impressed with the sub over the sonos though.
Not exactly wife friendly being that system is huge boxy cables everywhere, and did I mention it takes up a load of space and is an eyesore. But that's why some manufacturers continue to produce the big boxy systems for now.

This plus the $400 refurb Arc, or the Arc Ultra standalone (no sub)? I'm going back and forth. Not sure the Arc Ultra is worth over 2x more, especially if I can pair the Arc with a sub. I have heard a sub doesn't add that much to the Ultra.
Huge difference in arc and arc ultra. I put my old arc in the bedroom. Ultra has their new technology sub built in. I was running two Sonos subs in the main room, one near the ultra and other in rear. Ended up removing the sub by the ultra without a significant low response loss. The clarity of the ultra is pretty stunning if you are in to that sort of thing.

I got brand new arc from best buy for 400 and arc ultra for 879. Need to return one and have not opened any yet Do you think arc ultra is $479 better than arc considering gen 3 sub can be purchased for $500?

Were you all charged shipping? I'm a member but it wants to charge me ~$40 in shipping to Washington state. Only option is express shipping.
