While the world of deals is about to heat up with Fourth of July sales and Amazon’s upcoming Prime Day event, there are some great discounts you can take advantage of right now. For starters, Sonos is selling refurbished models of its second-gen Beam in black or white for $299, which is $100 off its usual refurb price and $200 cheaper than buying the soundbar in new condition.

That’s as cheap as you’re going to find the latest version of Sonos’ midrange soundbar, which is a lot like its first-gen version but with small improvements like Dolby Atmos and low-latency eARC support. The Beam is a good all-around performer if you want a simple soundbar that sounds great for its size, doesn’t clutter up your space with extra speakers or subwoofers, and doubles as a smart Wi-Fi speaker for streaming music within the Sonos ecosystem. And for those that have the space, the Beam can be expanded upon with other Sonos speakers like the Sub Mini or even Ikea’s Symfonisk lamps to create a modest surround sound home theater setup that doesn’t have wires and clutter everywhere.

As good a deal as the Beam is, if it’s still out of your price range, check out the refurbished Ray, which Sonos is selling for just $164 ($115 off a new model).

Its biggest limitation is that it relies on optical audio and lacks HDMI ports.
