Customer Ratings & Reviews

As far as sound quality, the Arc is *amazing* to my ears — especially for a single sound bar. But the app and setup can be a bit cumbersome. I sometimes have issues where the sound will just cut out in the middle of a movie. That is a major annoyance, but is pretty rare, and if I stop it and jump back into it it’s usually fine. Also, it occasionally it seems that it’s not playing in the quality I expect (i.e. if I look in the app it may say Dolby 5.1 or something instead of Dolby Atmos, even when Atmos is available). I don’t know if those kinds of issues are more to do with the Arc or my Apple TV or what, but I mention it to say, my experience has been great, but not always quite as effortless as I hoped/expected (especially for the price!)

So, this thing works great and looks nice. It fits well under our LG C9 65" TV. I placed about 4" below the bottom edge of the wall-mounted TV per the recommendations. At this point, the last LG firmware for the TV hosed the Atmos use - at least for TV and DirecTV. It's hard to chase these issues with firmware as there are three devices here that need to match up and do things correctly: TV LG C9 TV SONOS Arc That aside, we watched "Greyhound" after a couple weeks of burn-in on the Arc. Re-did the EQ and TruePlay and turned it up! It sounded amazing - I have no SONOS sub yet, so we were all impressed as-is. One day I may opt in for the Sub, but for now, it's very very good. One thing I have to say is that the sound in modern movies is great, but then when you go back to TV, it's kinda blah. In fact, unless you watch something with the volume up a lot, the internal speakers might match better in some cases. Music played via AirPlay 2 is good. Have to see if it's me, or the Arc that doesn't sound quite as good as the SONOS 5 for just playing tunes. I listen to mostly rock/classic rock/grunge and 50's country stuff. Good, not a replacement for a true stereo though. If the firmwares all match up

The Sonos Arc delivers rich, detailed audio with impressive Dolby Atmos effects. Easy to set up and perfect for movies, music, and gaming. Sleek design that fits any living room.

The Sonos Arc is a high-end soundbar that delivers immersive, 3D audio with Dolby Atmos, making it ideal for home theaters. Its sleek design and easy integration with other Sonos products enhance its appeal, offering excellent sound quality and versatility for any entertainment setup.

Sonos products are fairly user-friendly. It was ease to unpackaged and setup. The sound quality is great and really fills the room. I've also synced it up with 2 Sonos One speakers. Another easy setup and all together great theater sound.

Excellent quality of sound and craftship along with easiness of setup

These are our first Sonos products. Good build quality. Not audiophile sound but good enough for casual listening. Was looking for a single integrated music solution for the whole house that could be controlled by voice. Has worked well most of the time. Had some connectivity issues during a party one time so far. I think it was tied to the Sonos app changes that have been ongoing for months. Seems to have resolved itself. The app is the biggest concern at this point. Will continue to monitor the updates and their impact on useability.

Great sound bar and the lack of cloth mesh makes it easier to clean. Though if you want to take advantage of true dolby atmos make sure you have a tv that supports eARC hdmi otherwise youll really only be able to have dolby 5.1 surround.

Best purchase I have made in a really long time. It has such a modern look and the sound is incredible. The sorrowing system is amazing I would recommend this to anyone! Is not the cheapest obviously but it’s so worth the money!

This thing is pricey no doubt and I had my reservations because of price alone. It’s a soundbar…and $800 soundbar. However, I went with it and half I did. I have mine paired with a pair of Sonos One SL’s and man does this thing sound incredible. This setup could not have been any faster or easier. The app is nearly perfect and is feature rich. This is coming from someone that also has a full system (AVR and separate speakers) in another room in our house. I’m now selling that gear to replace with more Sonos gear. I’m now hooked.

Sonos Arc sound bar sounds great and looks fine below my Lg Oled tv. Setup was easy and flawless. Great quality and well built. Works great with my Amazon Alexa smart home and was very easy to pair with the voice assistant.

Pricey but worth every penny. Upgraded from a samsung center channel, sub and surround system. Sonos is 10 times better. Started off with the arc, then sub, then rear one SL’s. Need all for a complete sound but if money is tight the rears can wait. I havnt even use its full potential because i dont have eARC on my TV to get the full dolby atmos. That will come later. Playing music on it is night and day! I really wanted an actually hi fi system with towers but my living room is small and I know I would go all out with hi fi system and would put me in debt. This works for me and dont plan on upgrading anytime soon.

Best soundbar i have ever had. A little complicated with the setup

The Sonos Arc is an amazing sound bar. I purchased the bass as well as a set of SL One rear speakers and the sound is amazing. Highly recommend this set up for both the sound as well as mobility and ease of set up and use.

Phenomenal sound. Easy to set up. Experience is like watching a movie in a movie theater, especially when combined with the subwoofer.

The Sonos Arc Soundbar with Dolby Atmos has become my favorite home audio equipment. The sound clarity is phenomenal, with crisp highs and deep lows. The integration of Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa adds tremendous convenience. Its sleek design in black fits perfectly in my living space. The Dolby Atmos feature creates an immersive sound experience that's simply unmatched

For starters, do not buy this unless you plan on buying the sub. It’s good, but it’s not amazing by itself. The wow factor of this system is without question when you add the sub to it, but now you’re getting close to $2K. Other than that, I love this system and the theater sound it brings. The setup was a breeze and for a house that values playing music, and not just using a soundbar for TV, Sonos is amazing.

Great sound bar, sleek and stylish, also sounds phenomenal. I previously owned the Nakamichi 9.2 soundbar with the dual subwoofer, I think this are the only sounders with dual sub. Voice reproduction: Sonos wins, much richer and clearer voice Immersiveness: Nakamichi wins, it has 4 surround speakers compared to Sonos 2, also you get atoms without having eARC, which the sons requires. Bass/Power: to me this is a draw, nakamichi louder and loose bass, Sonos much tighter bass looks: Sonos to me is sleeker and nicer looking Operations: Sonos hands down, updates through wifi, vs nakamichi which updates through USB and nakamichi has no app. Reliability: Owned the nakamichi for 2 years and it was terrible, Sonos owned for less than 1 month so time will tell. Overall: both great sounding systems, I will rate Sonos 8.5 out of 10 and Nakamichi 7 out of 10.

sonos arc soundbar will blow you away with the awesome sound so easy to set up love it

As a stand alone soundbar this is just average. Sure the sound is crisp and clear but the Atmos effect and surround effect is a disappointment. Also the setup is not as easy as they say it was. No remote and all controls are handle on an app that needs to be connected to it wifi to work. However, once you start to spend more money on the parts to complete the system, it gets better and better. With the 2 SL speakers you get the surround effect but the Atmos is still lacking. With the sub it adds the punch to the lows and mids. Overall I think it's just way too expensive for the complete package and you can get a true Atmos setup for less. The lack of Atmos effect is probably the most disappointed missing feature with Sonos. Updates from Sonos are rare and they really don't fix or take audio to the next level.
