It isn’t the holidays without sound. The clatter of dishes. Laughter spilling from the next room. The all-too familiar song intro that instantly feels like home. Whether you’re hosting a feast, wrapping gifts, or rewatching the family’s go-to movies, great audio turns moments into memories.
That’s where Sonos comes in.
For two decades, Sonos has led the way in connected, whole-home sound. Each Sonos speaker is powerful on its own, but the real magic happens when you connect them for room-to-room audio. Music moves seamlessly from the kitchen to the living room to the backyard, staying perfectly in sync.
You don’t have to build your Sonos system all at once. Start with a single soundbar or speaker, then expand anytime — each new player connects with quick setup. Plus, it works with all your favorite streaming services. During the holidays, your guests can even queue up songs and DJ. It’s sound that grows with you, and a gift that connects everyone in your home.
The Best Sonos Gifts
Whether you’re starting your own setup or gifting great sound to someone special, these Sonos products are the perfect way to elevate every holiday moment.
Sonos Arc Ultra Soundbar
$1,099
One of our favorites — especially as a gift — Arc Ultra can be the heart of an entire Sonos system or instantly bring theater-quality sound to your living room. With Dolby Atmos, this powerful soundbar delivers 9.1.4 spatial audio. It’s like having in-ceiling and in-wall speakers surrounding you. It connects easily over HDMI, streams music through the Sonos app or Bluetooth, and includes Speech Enhancement to make every word crystal clear. Available in black or white, the slim, minimalist design blends beautifully into any space.
Sonos Sub 4
$899
If you already have Sonos speakers (or your giftee does), the Sub 4 massively improves sound. The unit’s dual amplifiers add rich, full bass to your setup, creating immersive home theater audio for Christmas movie marathons, and it gives music the low-end it deserves. The Sub 4 is also uniquely designed to eliminate distortion, meaning crisp, booming bass that feels part of the room.
One of our favorite things about the Sub 4 is how it looks. While most boxy subwoofers stick out like sore thumbs, this one looks more like a sculpture than a piece of high-end tech.
Sonos Era 100 Speaker
$219
Building your Sonos system room by room? The Era 100 is a compact, powerful speaker that’s great for smaller spaces like kitchens or guest rooms — ideal for keeping the music going from the dinner table to dessert. Pair two together for richer stereo sound, or use them as rear speakers with the Arc Ultra to create a true surround setup. Either way, it’s the perfect starting point for a connected home sound system.
Sonos Era 300 Speaker
$479
For the audiophile on your list, the Era 300 is a powerhouse. With four tweeters for crisp detail, dual woofers for rich bass, and support for Dolby Atmos, it offers immersive, multidimensional audio that feels like standing inside the music. It’s great solo –– making it a top-tier gift for anyone who wants next-level performance from a single device –– or as a pair of rear speakers with Arc Ultra for the ultimate spatial audio experience.
Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker
$499
Most great holiday gatherings involve movement, be it from the kitchen to the living room, or from cozying up indoors to moving the celebration outside. The Sonos Move 2 lets you take your music with you, wirelessly. It’s durable, water-resistant (IP56-rated), and built for portability without compromising sound quality. Choose from black, white, or olive green to complement any space. Wherever the celebration moves, the sound follows.
Premium Immersive Set with Arc Ultra
$2,956
Truly immersive sound is the best option if you’re entertaining this holiday. That’s what you’ll get from the Premium Immersive Set with Arc Ultra. The set includes two Era 100 speakers and a Sub 4, all centered around the Arc Ultra soundbar. With the combination of the Era 100 speakers and the Arc Ultra’s built-in surround sound capabilities, you get true room-filling audio for a theater- or concert-like experience.
If you prefer to fill more of your home with music (maybe for your big Christmas party), you can set up each Era 100 speaker in a different room. All your speakers will stay connected and play in sync.
Best of all, it’s extremely easy to set up: Just plug each component into the wall, open the Sonos app, and they’ll all connect to WiFi in minutes.
Whether you’re gifting a single speaker or building a full multi-room setup, Sonos makes it easy to turn your home into a shared soundscape for all your entertainment, from music to movies. It’s a better way to bring sound into your holiday celebration, or give it to someone else.
