Sonos - Arc Ultra 9.1.4 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos - Black

I’m honestly really impressed with the Sonos Arc. The sound quality is on another level — super clear dialogue, deep bass, and it fills the whole room without having to blast the volume. Watching movies feels way more immersive now, especially with action scenes and surround effects. Setup was surprisingly easy and it connected to my TV with no issues. I also like how clean and sleek it looks — it doesn’t take up much space but still makes a big impact. Streaming music on it sounds amazing too. It definitely feels like a premium upgrade and worth the investment.

I really love this soundbar. The sound quality is amazing, with clear dialogue and great bass. It makes movies and music feel immersive. Super easy to set up and looks great too. Highly recommend!

The SONOS ARC Ultra Soundbar greatly enhances your TV watching experience. My setup includes the ARC Ultra Soundbar, the Sub 4 and 2 ERA 300 as surround sound speakers. Installation and setup is very easy. The HDMI cable included with the soundbar was a little shorter than I needed so I had to purchase a longer one, just because I wanted to run it through a hidden conduit behind the wall, but for a straight tv to speaker connection, it should be enough.

I bought the Arc Ultra as part of a bundle with the Sub 4 and a pair of Era 300 rear speakers. Setup was very easy and the sound quality is great, especially for music, Dolby 5.1, and Dolby Atmos TV/movie content. The only cords needed for the setup were power for each speaker and an HDMI cable between the Arc Ultra and my TV (included in the box). I already had the Sonos app on my Android phone from the other Sonos speakers I owned previously, and adding the new surround system was a breeze (fully guided in the app). The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because even though the surround effects work well with the system, I don't feel like I get the level of height channel effects I was expecting from the Atmos content. That could be just my room/setup or the content, but I've tried various adjustments and following guidelines for speaker placement and such and just don't notice much difference in that area. Additionally, I'm a bit disappointed there are no HDMI passthrough inputs on the Arc Ultra like there are on some other soundbars, and to a lesser degree, I'm disappointed there is no DTS:X support. All that aside, I'm very happy with the system, and it works well with my Samsung TV, Roku Ultra, and Xbox.

Well I finally made the move to a sound bar. I boxed up my old Denon receiver and Bose speakers and purchased a sound bar from another company. Was not impressed at all with the sound bar and thought about going back to my receiver, however I decided to try the Sonos soundbar as it had great reviews. Got it home was very impressed with the packaging usually that's something I don't care about but it was packaged very well. Pull the sound bar out hooked it up to my TV, took maybe 20 minutes tops to get all of the update firmware, app for my phone and wiring to my TV done... very easy install and setup. I highly recommend using the ARC HDMI outlet. Set up the sound bar use the app to apply the sound optimization and was very impressed at the quality of this sound bar versus the previous sound bar that I had purchased ... really sounded great. I went to the sound bar to see if I could up the volume manually and move it to a better location when I realized that I had the sound bar pointing straight up instead of out. I was going off the label and I could read Sonos backwards. Once I put the sound bar facing forward and ran the optimization app again was very very very impressed with the sound that was coming out of my speaker. Hope to add a subwoofer later and will update my review.
