Bluetooth and quick-to-music features like Spotify Tap are the future of sound at Ikea now that the Sonos partnership has fizzled. It’s an approach that Ikea’s David Granath says will make sound more affordable and easier to use for more people.

Yep, it's happened: there's been some Sonos discounts as part of Prime Day. You can get the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) for $369 (was $499.99) at Amazon US, a near-record low for the popular, mid-range soundbar.

It has a 25 percent larger mid-woofer to help it deliver deeper bass, too.
