Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sound os great. Ease of use is awsome. Still unsure about the value. Thw price is insane and now i want the sub to go with it and its just as expensive as the bar. If you can afford to waste the money it works well and is easy to use. Kinda like the Apple of audio.

Great addition for a home theater. Sonos Arc sounds great by itself and even better paired with surround speakers. The Arc fills up the room. It gets pretty low on the bass so I might not need a sub for now. The app makes it easy to set up and use. It supports digital dolby plus but not dtx. That’s the only downside. It’s the best looking sound bar and premium quality. It’s not always in stock and the color choice is limited to black. It’s expensive for a sound bar but worth it. No need to buy all the surround pieces at once. You can easily add speakers later.

Purchased this as an upgrade to an older Sony soundbar I had been using for years. Immediately realized what I was missing out on. Sound is so much clearer and crisper. Dialog is easy to understand, even at extreme low or high settings. The companion app is great for turning on the Night and/or Dialog modes to dampen the loud background and bring forth the dialog for late night viewing when you don't want to wake up the kids. You can hear the bass with just the soundbar, though I will probably expand this with the Sonos bass in the near future, as well as, some surround speakers. However, the soundbar alone is plenty enough, especially for a small room.

I can not write a review that matches the well written tech reviews. All I can say is you won't be disappointed. There are better Soundbars but it will be a hit on the wallet. This soundbar is not a compromise. My biggest complaint is with the cord. I have read it is a bit loose. That is an understatement. It will not stay connected. I used electrical tape to tighten it. I still have problems on occasion. A premium product should not have such a trivial issue.

In the last 8 years I've used soundbars like Bower & Wilkens Panorama 2 (~$2000+ MSRP) and Definitive Technology W Studio Micro + sub (~$800 MSRP) in my house. I thought the W Studio Micro had died (eventually fixed it), so I went ahead and picked up the Arc and Sub Gen 3 in December. Both of these products have since been relegated to other TVs. The Arc + Sub combination is better than I expected and being able to control all the settings with an iPhone or iPad makes it even better. Dolby Atmos content on streaming services and 4K Blurays sounds amazing. The soundbar looks sleek, modern, and fits nicely under my TV. It has been used for TV, movies, and music. The night mode is very useful because it can get extremely loud. Integrating it with the audio system built-in to the rest of the house was a breeze with the purchase of the Sonos Port. I would highly recommend this soundbar!

Outstanding sound quality. Initially purchased for my billiards room upstairs. Highly recommend adding Sonos Sub for a true immersive experience with added base. Easy setup and Sonos provides great customer service if needed.

[Employee of bestbuy] The soundbar alone is fine but I would not say excellent. I do believe when you add a subwoofer of some sort in to the equation it makes me so much better. The vocals and sound quality overall are good. As someone who is used to having a subwoofer off to the side I just wasn't satisfied with the soundbar alone. I also did not want to spend another $400 to $900 just for a subwoofer and if I wanted the rears than more money on top of that. At that point I would've bought a Samsung Q990F and been done with it. I would still say it is a good option though.

I started my quest for a soundbar with the Vizio Elevate, thinking that for a bit more $$, I'd get the whole enchilada, with sub and rear speakers. Well, the sub arrived DOA, rendering it and rear speakers unable to play; and the bar by itself didn't impress substantially. I returned it and ordered the Arc. The Arc arrived yesterday, and proved very easy to set up and play. It proved easy to calibrate with my iPhone; and the sound did impress. Another plus, even though it sits at the base of our 2018 LG OLED, the remote still works everything as it should. (The Vizio, sitting in same place, blocked the remote signal.) Another bonus: enabling Alexa allows voice control. I'll evaluate the sound for a while, then decide whether to add the Sonos sub and rear speakers. (I really like the Sonos Beam and sub in our son's home, so I'm inclined to go for it.)

This sound bar produces great sound. In a smaller room the bass is just fine without the sub. The Dolby atmos is also a great feature of this bar. By its weight you can tell that it is well built. Also set up was very easy.

Pretty satisfied with the sound bar, dialogue is much clearer, I have a fairly tall vaulted ceiling, so not sure how effective the upward facing speakers are compared to a typical room. Bass is what you'd expect, will eventually add the Sub and a couple of surround speakers when I find them on sale, as this is very pricy system overall. Setup was very quick and easy with the app.

Sounds excellent, very impressed with the sound quality, bass, ease of use and Google Integration. Worth the buy 100% and the extra $ compared to the beam. No subwoofer needed

I first bought the Beam and was amazed, so naturally when the Arc went on sale I nabbed one. This soundbar sounds even better but it is so much bigger in physical size. I love both so much. Dialogue is crystal clear and with Atmos sound is coming from all over. With Arc’s dedicated height drivers, it’s ok. Can’t tell much sound is coming from above me. Buy both. A sub mini is a must too. And two Era 100’s. Don’t look back. Money should deter you not.

I purchased the Sonos Arc surround system with sub-woofer and 2 rear speakers to replace my old, cheap system I purchased at Target a couple of years ago. I was concerned as the old system sounded pretty good in my opinion, especially for the money. The Sonos system was pricy but the reviews were good and I didn't want wires run allover the house. I couldn't be happier, when I'm not watching TV, my wife and I enjoy music. The Sonos system provide amazing quality and ample volume for enjoyable music anywhere in the house. The Sub-Woofer is great, it fills the entire house with bass you can feel. This is a great product and at some point we plan to add a sub-woofer and speakers to the Man Cave.

Great sound quality, good bass, easy setup. Couldn't ask for more.

The Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub Gen 4 combine advanced Dolby Atmos surround sound with deep, distortion-free bass, creating a theater-like experience. Easy to set up and elegantly designed, they deliver exceptional audio clarity and power, ideal for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts

I have Sonos systems throughout my house-two sonos one speakers in each bedroom, and playbars with sonos satellites and subwoofers in the family room and my music studio. The Arc replaced a a 1st gen. Beam in 16' x 16' Music Studio. At first I thought the space might be too small for the ARC. It wasn't. The difference between the beam and the Arc is astounding. It makes rewatching movies worthwhile. For the first time EVER with Sonos I had a problem getting my satellite Sonos One speakers to connect to the Arc. It's usually a snap. I tried everything and then called Sonos. Would you believe I got connected to a technician within 2 minutes and she patiently worked with me for nearly an hour to get everything working? Who does that? Well, Sonos. Trust me, Sonos is phenomenal for connectivity throughout your home. Play the same music in every room, or play something different in each room. Oh, back to the Arc--yea, it's twice the cost of the Beam 2, but the wow factor is worth the up charge. Check to ensure you have vertical clearance above the bar so you don't interfere with the two up-facing speakers. They actually work. There's a helicopter scene in the first Matrix movie and you can definitely tell that the surround sound has height. You can hear stuff happening overhead--Not exactly like having the actual speakers up there, but enough to notice that you'll never want to go to a soundbar without this feature. Also, I don't know why--maybe it's all the background music they play in today's movies, and actors don't enunciate like stage actors do, but dialogue can get lost. There s a feature on the telephone app that enables you enhance speech. Works like a charm, especially when actors have heavy accents. Anyway, I highly recommend Sonos and the Arc!

I’ve used that product now for over two months so far I don’t have any major complaints but they are some. -Setup is pretty ease, you just plug and play as long your tv is able to support arc and optical connection. - There is Sonos app that you can Download for control and other features. That gets tricky when you have to deal with setting it up and connecting with Sonos, the good thing is if you have any issues you can get help from Sonos support to walk you through the steps how to configure it. I’m not giving all 6 stars since speaker has some issues that I’m not happy about when you have multiple devices connected to TV using HDMI for some reason sound doesn’t work on the speaker while having both connections attached. I’m assuming this might be related maybe to my TV but I think this is the speaker issue if I disconnect HDMI and reconnect it works or if I power on the second device I get the sound. I will try reach out Sonia support to see what they say. Over all the sound is really good I wish the speak would be louder… : )

High-quality sound, surprising kick, and impressive surround sound. Only using it for home theater, not much music, but for my small-ish space, the bar does the job of a complete 5.1 system. Plus, set-up and control is really easy.

Best upgrade to any tv you own. I previously owned the playbar and this is far better. Base is great alone without the sub and great with surround sound. Set up is easy and having google and alexa on this speaker is very helpful.

We have a media room with high dollar audio that we use to watch movies, but spend most of our time watching a different TV. This one had a Sony sound bar with a small sub attached. I thought since we watched so much tv here we should upgrade and settled on the Arc paired with a Sonus Sub. Wow. The sound is incredible. I know it is expensive especially if you buy the Sub, but I could easily see this being a primary set up. If you are looking to upgrade, this system will knock your socks off.... Way too loud for my wife :=). Set up is easy even if you are not a part of the Sonus ecosystem, and the side is you can also play music which sounds as good as any stereo using the Sonus application. Yes it is expensive, but trust me it is eons above the "decent" doing system I had previous.
