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.

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.

For me my Sonos Arc Ultra is the most versatile and amazing external Sound Bar ever created. Its sleek cylindrical design looks fabulous and not obtrusive in my Studio/Office. With the internal redesign that IV love for a more immersive watching and hearing nub movie’s and NFL GAMES makes me smile, really. I did hours of research on line and at Best Buy where in listened to the Sonos Arc and others. For me and my ear I can honestly say the Arc Ultra won by a mile…. I watch sports and movies via streaming for hours a day and I wanted and got the full Atmos Experience. I know I sound like a commercial, even to me, but though I didn’t want to spend the cost nothing else would satisfy me. IF you watch and listen to Top Gun, Raider’s of the Lost Arc or an NFL Game you’ll swear your in a surround sound Theatre or Stadium….. Paul in Los Angeles

Moving from Nakamichi Ultra 9.2.4 to the Sonos Arc Ultra sound system was one of my best decisions. The Dolby Atmos audio is very immersive with crisp dialogue, and upward-firing speakers for true surround sound. It also looks stunning in white. I read my reviews that for serious home theater lovers, it’s a top-tier choice. Now know why! You will not be disappointed!

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.

First time buying an upscale soundbar or Sonos device and I was pretty blown away. Crystal clear dialogue, outstanding bass and great design it’s and all in one package that just feels and sounds premium. Live that you can play music on it directly from the app or even talk to it and request to play music or a specific song. It can even play music while you have the tv playing something else definitely cool for a little party. Paired up with my mantle mount tv mount awesome combo. Definitely a great addition to my home.

Love our new Arc Ultra sound bar. The sound is immersive and unbelievably clear and complete. I had difficulty hearing dialogue and was always asking “what did he say”. We paired the Arc Ultra to new Sub4 subwoofer and it has now entered a whole new sound dimension with the perfect mixture of highs and lows missed with just the right amount of midrange. We’re excited about this system because it adds a new level of excitement to movie night and casual music listening. Hearing all the dialogue is now realized. Thanks Sonos.

I originally purchased the Sono’s Gen 2 along with 2 era 100 speakers. I really liked them but traded them all in for the Sonos Ultra Arc. To me is makes more sense for our smaller condo. I also love the speech enhancement option. I can hear the dialogue sooo much better.

The tech they have going on in this tube is nothing short of incredible. We were completely blown away by how amazing it sounds. Comparing this to our old 2.1 is not fair since it feels like an actual theater in our living room now. Above and beyond anything else I have used and I cannot imagine what adding the additional components like a sub4 or back speakers would do.

We upgraded from a Sonos arc to the new ultra, and it is definitely worth the investment. Bigger sound, easy to use.

Absolute beast of a soundbar. The Arc Ultra delivers huge, clean sound with legit Atmos effects and crystal-clear dialogue—even at lower volumes. Movies, sports, and music all sound unreal, and it fills the room without being harsh. Paired perfectly in my basement man-bunker retreat, it feels like a private theater. Expensive, yes—but worth every dollar if you care about sound quality. Zero regrets.

This is a great sound bar. We purchased the white sound bar to blend in with the wall and it is perfect. We use it to watch TV and listen to our music services. It fills a large room with excellent sound and is very easy to use. There are Sonos specific voice commands that can wake the speaker up and bring your music into the room.

We have the older model Sonos Arc soundbar & it performed very well. We moved into a larger high-rise condominium & decided to get a Samsung 85” TV & bit the bullet on this new Sonos Arc ULTA. It is magnificent & it was so easy to install/attach: Sanus - Sonos Arc and Sonos Arc Ultra Extendable Soundbar TV Mount - The sound is so much more than we anticipated. The fact it is available is WHITE, made my heart happy. Can’t say enough about this product. YAAAS, pricey for certain. Bose has like performing models but I couldn’t break free from wanting the SONOS!

I do have a Klipsch 7.1 in my loft but the sound quality of this unit is superb. Perfect partner for my Samsung The Frame 75" and 2 ERA 300 with Subwoofer. Sound is crisp. Easy to set up. Would buy another one in a heartbeat. Minimalist design. I would love to have the app improved a little bit to be seamless with Spotify. Overall, it is worth your hard-earned Benjamins!

The setup was very easy and we were all impressed with the improvement to the audio we were now getting. I’m using the e-arc from the projector in the back of the room to the front (cable routed through the basement and through the wall). It looks and sounds great.
