Customer Ratings & Reviews

I ordered this on 8/24 and received it 9/18. It took a while but I finally got it. $800 isn't chump change but to get a soundbar of this quality at this price, its a great value assuming your budget can handle it. This competes with high end soundbars. The sound took me some time to get right. You really want to get yourself an iPhone (whether its yours or a buddies), and setup Truplay. It does make a difference. You'll be waving your phone around the room which looks a little funny but the results are good. There's limited EQ adjustment, you only get to adjust Bass and Treble. There is no Mid or in between frequency adjustments. The bass on the soundbar itself is just adequate. Not room thumping. Definitely an improvement over typical TV speakers. I have an LG CX OLED which has pretty decent sound by itself but this soundbar is a clear upgrade. If you're kind of a bass head, not even, if you want to really feel your sound, then you'll want to do something about it. Your options are limited to the Sonos ecosystem which gets expensive. $700 for a sub was difficult to part with. I ended up doing it but another option is to get two Play 5 speakers (which would be about $800-1000) and use them as rear surrounds without a sub. Believe it or not, the Play 5's have very good bass performance and can work just about as good without the dedicated sub. Of course, I didn't have that foresight and I bought the Arc first. Then the Sub. Then a pair of Ikea Symfonicks ($99ea + $20ea for the wall mount, which also make nice shelves at the same time). All in thats about $1740, If I had just got the Arc with 2 Play 5's, I could have been all in at $1600 since you can find the Play 5's at a slight discount. You can add the sub later for serious room thumping sound. Another thing to consider is the size of the Play 5 speakers and whether you want two speakers of that size behind you. But all the configuration options is part of the beauty of the Sonos system. You don't have to get everything all at once. You can add as you go along. Also the popularity of the Sonos keeps the resale value in the used market pretty high. Try that with the high end LG or Samsung soundbars. I do recommend getting the rear surrounds before the Sub no matter which rear surrounds speakers you decide to get. The rear surrounds make a bigger difference to me then the extra bass with the sub. Bottom line: if you're looking at an Atmos soundbar at this price range, I think you'll be happy with the product. I'm very happy with it.

This thing is a total game changer. I previously worked as an audio engineer for 7 years… needless to say I’m a bit particular about sound in general. The Sonos Arc brings clarity unlike anything I’ve heard in a home entertainment system. Because I’m an audio snob, we added the Sonos Subwoofer to really round out the low end, however, the Arc alone has solid low end for a small room (or a listener who is not concerned with booming low end). All in all, this is one of my favorite purchases and upgrades to our living room.

Great sound and easy setup. An excellent soundbar for those who want the best

Wow I upgraded my sound bar to this and what a difference. It fills the whole room with solid bass and mid and treble

Sound quality is great and it's very easy to set up and use. Can cast from your phone to it as well (Spotify, etc).

Sounds great. Easy setup. Only issues are app related and I hope they resolve it. But you dont necessarily need the app to operate it anyhow.

Love the Sonos arc sound quality is great pairs so easily with my TV. Apple air play sounds great as well. Very pleased with the product. The sleek design makes it very handsome to look at and admire. 100% will recommend to friends and family.

My old reciever went out shortly before I moved to a new house. After much research, my larger living room would have needed another receiver anyway. Upon deciding to build my own speakers for my new system, I needed a temporary solution because the stock TV speakers were not cutting it. My poor ears... I purchased this w/2 rear Sonos 1s and the gen. 3 Sub however, I tested the sound bar alone before syncing the rear speakers and sub. Easiest set up ever and I can now enjoy decent surround sound until my new speakers are built and my receiver is replaced. Definitely worth it for people who don't want to have to deal with installing a wired surround sound system. While the directional speakers are decent at the side surround channels the additional Sonos 1s will bring the rear channels to life. Bass is decent enough until you can add a dedicated sub. I will definitely keep this system and move it to my game room after my new system is completed.

Amazing sound but sometimes it is a real pain to keep connected. Occasionally I will turn on the tv and the soundbar does nothing. So I have to spend time reconnecting it. Once I even had to remove and reinstall it through the app. Talk about a buzzkill. Need to do better on that front Sonos. Might still be the best option but far from perfect.

Really love this soundbar from Sonos. We went with the white colored model, since it is sitting on a white mantel. The packaging was outstanding. It was fairly easy to set up and get connected. The power cord is a little hard to push in to the back of the device. You really have to press hard. The sound quality is great for TV and pretty good for music. It does help to use the Trueplay Tuning feature and tune the device for your room and environment.

The sound quality is extraordinarily remarkable, and the setup is quite straightforward. Having and experiencing Dolby Atmos is indeed a delightful necessity.

It’s amazing how much this changed the game. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and wanted something that could do Atmos and just sound amazing I’m general. This does that and even has great bass without disturbing my neighbors …. Though I am look at the sub mini for that extra kick haha. The arc is a little pricy but unfortunately in electronics you usually do get what you pay for.

I bought this in preparation for upgrading my TV and gaming system. The Arc by itself is great. The arc is easy enough to use and great sound that my wife streams her music through it vs using her portable JBL speaker. Only complaint is having to use wifi instead of Bluetooth.

I was in the market for a new surround system when my aging Onkyo system finally failed. I got this soundbar as the base to the Sonos ultimate setup. Having come from a traditional 5.1 setup I was skeptical that this would produce the same immersive setup. The main driver for me moving to Sonos was to eliminate wires since the builders would not run them for me when my house was built and having vaulted ceilings made running them myself more challenging. I initially just connected this soundbar and was amazed at how well it performed. Once I connected the bar to the Sonos Sub and Era300s I was blown away. The Trueplay setup creates a virtual diagram of the room and configures the system for your environment. Having vaulted ceilings impacts the units ability to produce height effects via Atmos but with an adjustment in my placement I am still able to get some of those effects. When they hit, it is a thing of beauty. Overall I am very impressed with this setup and will continue to buy Sonos in the future.

Truly love the Sonos Arc. Tremendous sound that is maximized by the Arc's unique ability to adapt to your room's acoustics. The Arc fills my room with crisp, clear sound whether I'm listening to music or watching a movie. Set up was easy and still learning to maximize all of the Arc's capabilities. I would definitely recommend the Arc.

We love this soundbar! It is a great improvement over the Bose that we purchased first and returned when it malfunctioned. The sound is great but the features are even better. It has built in voice activation that allows you to just say "Sonos, mute" when the phone rings or "Sonos, increase the volume", etc. And, it has a number of adjustments like nighttime sound (diminishes the big booms so kids can sleep) or dialogue enhancement that makes dialogue more clear and also the ability to adjust the sound to personal preferences. The features alone make this soundbar so worth it. I am now a big Sonos fan!!

This has been a significant upgrade to my TV and movie experience. It's clearly an investment as it has an $800 price tag, and I will be buying the wall mount accessory which is $70. One item I learned is that the ARC knows when you all mount it as it has magnetic sensors. When it knows it's wall mounted, it reduces the bass that comes out of it. Will find out how much the decrease is the bass once I wall mount it.

Incredible sound, super easy set-up. Really enough for a mid sized room but once you add the rears and the sub it sounds better than most real systems. I came from an older Onkyo with Paradigm speakers and sub and while this setup doesn’t quite have the depth or the base it’s ease of use makes up for it. My family hated all the settings and such and I was able to hook it up myself in no time.

Hands down beat sound bar on the market, including all the accessories. It was a breeze to set up and the sound is remarkable. Will never use another company, ao long as the quality of Sonos is here to stay. You will not be disappointed if you purchase any part kf the system! Would definielty buy again!

This is a premium sounds bar, it was easy to set up and super easy to use the app. Even with the bass and treble set at default its got some power to it, then with the levels increased and maxed out its top tier sound. The apps you can connect and use directly from the Sonos app is impressive.
