Sonos Test Pack promotion offers HiFi system for $300 plus extras

Sonos-Bridge-and-Play3Sonos has partnered with major retailers, Target, Best Buy and Amazon to offer a month-long promotion for a Sonos Wireless HiFi System package that is currently selling for $300.

The official start date of the promotion was May 23, so it’s already underway, and will run until June 23.

The $300 “Test Pack” bundle includes the Play:3, Bridge and a 90-day subscription to Rhapsody Premier. We reviewed the Play:3 extensively already, but the gist is that it’s a three-driver speaker system with a footprint small enough to place almost anywhere. Because Sonos uses it’s own wireless signal, the Bridge is able to give the speaker wireless access for easier placement in the home.

Rhapsody Premier is the second-tier paid subscription that costs $10 per month, though three months are offered free as part of the bundle. It’s not made fully clear, but you might have to cancel the subscription before the 90 days are up to ensure you don’t get charged, should you not want to continue on. You can stream music from Rhapsody and a number of other sources wirelessly over to the Play:3 using the Sonos Controller app for compatible smartphones and tablets.

As it stands, it doesn’t look like there’s a Test Pack for the larger Play:5 speaker system, nor for the Playbar, Sonos’ recently released sound bar meant for home theater setups.

It's been a long time coming, but the wait is almost over. Sony's premium home theater soundbars are set to receive a software update that will add support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low-latency mode (ALLM), two HDMI 2.1 gaming features that have been absent since these products launched.

The soundbars in question are the Sony HT-A5000, HT-A7000, and the multi-wireless speaker HT-A9 system. All three are scheduled to receive the update this fall, but Sony has declined to share specific timing, saying only that there will be more information closer to the rollout date.

What is Roku? The streaming platform explained

How do you get your Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, or Prime Video fix? Chances are it's through a streaming device or smart TV, and there's a good chance that it's through a Roku device or one running its pioneering streaming operating system. At this point, cord-cutting is old news, and Roku was one of the earliest companies to drive the adoption of web-based streaming with its self-contained, app-driven devices.

Today, watching something "on Roku" is standard parlance and the company's popular platform can be found baked into some of the biggest TV brands in the world as well as in its own lineup of streaming devices sticks, and set-top boxes. Even so, that doesn't mean you totally get what a Roku actually is. What is Roku? How does Roku work? Do you need a subscription to use it? Is it just a device you buy, or is it software?
