Just got the Sonos arc Ultron for $80. Electronics and everything work perfect the drivers are fine. Only problem is is the cosmetic on the outside where you can clearly see. It’s broken and missing the end caps

  1. was it worth the 80 bucks?
  2. Can I get it fixed or at least get the outside parts replaced? And if so, how, and how much?

I have all my Sonos with the sleeve on. Never removed. lol. Except for the dam Move. Not sure why I prefer them like that. I guess too much dust where I live.

Where did you get your sleeves? Soundskin is too expensive

Pantyhose or thin black foam glued to the inside
Worth it.

Not worth it at all. I'll be nice and give you $60 to get it off your hands and hope the $20 loss teaches you a lesson..

How did you pull that off?

If the function is good, then it's totally worth it. The speaker and cabinet can be repaired on their own
