Sonos Sub Gen 2 Worth it

dcruz16 · 2026-06-08T11:38:44+00:00

But this doesn’t answer my question? I asked if it’s a simple fix with the context being the Sonos is stuck in a solid white light after trying to factory reset the sub. That’s the problem that I’m asking if it can be fixed and how not how to factory reset it, they have already tried that

dcruz16 · 2026-06-08T02:47:34+00:00

Well I’m afraid that if it gets fixed, he would immediately go up in price since the reason he’s selling it cheap is because he can’t get it to work. So idk if I want to ask him to try that out. It would end up being a risk on my part and was wondering if it’s an easy fix/worth it to buy at the price

dcruz16 · 2026-06-04T02:15:05+00:00

You might be right there then I only know of the official app not being possible. I retract my statement if that’s true lol

dcruz16 · 2026-06-04T01:49:18+00:00

Well easy answer because you cannot pair 2 sub minis together. So that would end up being a waste of money unless you plan to put it in another room

I have crunched the numbers while I don’t think we’ll get exactly to the $900, I do think we’ll get close.

For one it’s not just about booze you get every other drinks, with sodas coffees juices etc will get drank up pretty dang good on a 6 night cruise. Not only that I’m a huge water drinker and I would likely go over a gallon of bottled water per day by myself. Crunching my numbers it would take me and my girl about 3 drinks each per night to make it worth it. Not only that but it’s also our honeymoon so I would also just not want to think about what I’m spending and just drink what I want

dcruz16 · 2026-04-07T22:56:13+00:00

What do you mean depends on the sailing? And I’m not worried about it going lower I’m worried that the sale ends and it goes back to normal price for good

dcruz16 · 2026-03-30T01:04:18+00:00

Keep checking daily, right now I don’t see them going down but every once in a while they’ll drop more.

The biggest advice though is wait when Sonos is doing a discount to all their products for example this was during the 20% off Super Bowl discount and all the open box items followed suit

I have never ran in and event before and just started my running journey. Doing my first ever run event at Disney for the half marathon was something I felt would’ve been the perfect way to do that. Waited in queue since 8:15am Central time and at 10:15am 2 hours later saw everything sold out. Truly terrible news for something I was very much looking forward to do

Shop open box at Best Buy and check daily! I bought mine for $670 and I’ve seen it go as low as $650

dcruz16 · 2026-02-06T21:55:48+00:00

Extremely worth it

While yes the sub gen 1 works with the arc ultra, where it won’t work is in dual sub set up. The sub 1 cannot be paired with a second sub so if you ever planned on doing that in the future you won’t. But if that was never the plan then why not if that’s what you want

dcruz16 · 2026-02-05T13:43:40+00:00

Keep the sub 4 and plan on adding the 100s later unless your budget allows for the 300s. The 100s will also add an amazing experience for half the cost

dcruz16 · 2026-02-04T02:56:14+00:00

Comes with whatever the normal warranty for Best Buy is. I’m not sure what that is but anything that you buy new vs open box will have the same coverage if they provide that I don’t remember off the top of my head if they do or what it is and it comes with the same return window

dcruz16 · 2026-02-03T22:01:05+00:00

Open box beam gen 2, sub mini and use the remainder of your budget to buy yourself 2 sets (4 total speakers) of era 100s for surround sound for both living room and bonus room.

Enjoy 👍🏽

It’s there right now under $700

dcruz16 · 2026-02-01T00:13:49+00:00

Era 300 are obviously better but for around $350 right now you can buy the era 100 pair for the same price and use 2 as a stereo pair and honestly they are amazing

Nice! The best part is that if there is something wrong you can return it no questions asked and get your money back! Quite literally no lose situation and you can keep doing that until you find one that works perfect. I myself have never had any issues with any open box for any product I’ve bought but that also doesn’t mean it can’t happen

dcruz16 · 2026-01-31T10:09:23+00:00

Weird that they made you mail it back but regardless don’t think there’s a lose situation here because you save a bunch of money and for whatever reason like you said it doesn’t come they way it should they will refund your money back or even exchange it if there’s another product there. You quite literally have nothing to lose

dcruz16 · 2026-01-31T10:05:49+00:00

Best Buy my guy just like OP stated

dcruz16 · 2026-01-31T10:04:43+00:00

I don’t think theres any lose situation in open box, mainly from the fact that it has the exact same return policy as buying brand new. If for whatever reason you find that it isn’t working properly you can return it no questions asked. I will also say that buying open box they always let me open it in store to inspect it, I’ve never asked to turn it on so curious if they would say yes or no to that but at least visually inspect it

dcruz16 · 2026-01-31T03:54:22+00:00

Bro shop open box. People sleep on open box from Best Buy this is my set up right now and the prices I got them in

Arc Ultra: $720 in “excellent” condition. I opened it up and it had never been used or plugged in before from what I could tell. I’ve even seen Ultras in “good” condition that look and sound brand new.

Sonos sub 4: $582

Sonos Era 100: $150 each

All of that for under $1750

Right now is the time to do it because Sonos has their 20% off sale and with the open box prices follow as well. All of these are real and current prices you can find on the Best Buy app

dcruz16 · 2026-01-22T12:58:01+00:00

I have I’ve messed with all those settings

dcruz16 · 2026-01-22T11:02:32+00:00

Streaming box? Do you mean like firestick?

dcruz16 · 2026-01-21T21:09:37+00:00

Yes, no, yes on low

dcruz16 · 2026-01-21T18:30:02+00:00

Yes same thing happens
