Hi, can you do a price match on a Sonos Beam Gen 2 with sonos? I have the upgrade discount, would rather purchase from yourselves. Thanks

Hi Higgins5473.

Thanks for the post.

Is the trade in something that Sonos is running direct as I don't see any trade in against the Beam on our own site.

What price is the beam being offered at with the trade in?

Sonos offer an upgrade programme, if you have one of their older speakers on your account you can apply a 15% discount against one of their newer speakers.

I have several of their older products and am eligible for upgrade. Can send screengrabs to show if needs to be verified. I am after the gen 2 beam in white and was going to order but the way things are I am trying to spend in Ireland and buy from businesses.

Hi Higgins5473.

It seems the trade in promo is direct with Sonos unfortunately.

I had a read over the T&C's and you need to purchase via their website using you Sonos account to get the trade in discount. This is not something we can offer ourselves.

The Beams are so low margin the best I could offer one at would be £410 / 489 Euro delivered.

Thanks...just to mention, its not a trade in at all. If you have there products on your system/profile on the site and you can choose to upgrade by applying a discount using your current sonos product. They don't look for this and you are free to keep, sell or whatever with the older product. They just discount it at checkout, it's €424.15 after the upgrade discount.

Previously Sonos planned on remotely bricking/disabling the original devices. This was discontinued but worth paying close attention to terms and conditions in case they decide to bring this back. It was a horrifically un-environmentally friendly move that backfired.

Hi Higgins5473.

Sonos quickly retracted this the first time around.

As I say the current trade in promotion mentioned is direct with Sonos.

I've had Sonos products for many years and never had any issues.
