The Memorial Day promotion on IGN’s shop page cuts the price of Sonos’ certified‑refurbished Sub wireless subwoofers by more than half. The third‑generation model is now $409 with free shipping, a 55 % discount off its $899 retail price. The fourth‑generation unit is listed at $619, saving 31 %.
Both refurbished units undergo Sonos’ full testing process, arrive in pristine packaging, and include the same one‑year warranty as new products. The Sub Gen 3 features dual 5‑by‑8‑inch inward‑facing woofers, Class‑D amplifiers, and a ported enclosure, weighing over 35 pounds. It connects via 802.11n Wi‑Fi or a 10/100 Ethernet cable and pairs with any Sonos speaker, including the Arc Ultra soundbar. The Gen 4 shares identical acoustic performance but adds a faster processor, more RAM, and Wi‑Fi 6 support, which Sonos says will keep the device compatible with future software updates.
For buyers who want deep bass without the cost of a brand‑new unit, the refurbished Sub offers a solid compromise. The price gap between the two generations is modest, and most users will find the Gen 3’s capabilities sufficient for a home theater setup. Shoppers should watch for limited stock and consider whether the future‑proofing of the Gen 4 justifies the extra $210.
