Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have the Arc and the gen 3 sub. I'll start by saying YES you will need the sub. The bass without it is okay, but somewhat anemic. I am fairly happy but not over impressed. I have a separate full surround with twin subs in another room so I am well versed in higher end systems. The Arc has very clear speaking and music reproduction. As far as any kind of surround, simulated or otherwise, just doesn't seem to be there. I has 11 speakers but it sounds like one center speaker to me. I like that it's a system so I haven't returned it. There are probably cheaper soundbars that sound really good but they don't have the Sonos echosystem capability. Plus, Sonos does send out firmware updates to alter the system...I doubt anyone else will update their systems so that's worth the cost itself. I don't want to have to buy additional rare speakers for surround, thus buying a sound bar vs a 5.1 system. I'm just disappointed that it doesn't have more of a virtual surround sound.

WOW!! What an amazing upgrade from the BOSE crap we purchased! This thing is amazing! Makes you get even more immersed into the movies you are watching! Excellent clarity and sound!

Amazing soundbar, worth the investment. Easy to setup and provides quality cinema experience

I owned this for more than a year now.The only problem i encountered was when it was updated and the sound from it was affected,but it was resolved now.Im not a audiophile but this sound bar is so amazing.Combine with the sub gen 3 and two sonos one its like watching movie in theater.The whole system i have is a bit on the expensive side,but oh boy its worth every penny.I highly recommend this and if you have the money,its worth buying the whole system.

I’ve done around 6 years of research on what brand of sound bars/surround sound systems and I can confidently say that Sonos is the system for me. I tested this sound bar, compared it with others and I love it. If you’re reading this hoping for more information I advise you go and research it yourself, because you might like the sound Bose has to offer or Sony, etc. Again, I find this to be the perfect sound bar for the room my Sonos surround sound system is in and I do not regret the purchase.

I have a Sonos Arc and two Era 300 speakers. LOVE THEM!!! a little pricey but worth it imho

I have to admit, this soundbar is amazing. This could go as a standalone or with a subwoofer. You can't go wrong either way. The sound quality is crisp & the bass... i am amazed. If I had to make one complaint, it would be because of not having the option of using an optical cable. Connecting with an HDMI Arc makes a difference, depending on what other HDMI devices you're connected / connecting to. Other that that, this sounds bad is amazing. And when you connect it when your smart devices like Google Home, even better!

I have had several sound bars and this is by far, the easiest to set up and has fantastic sound!! It really makes a difference! Thanks Sonos for great product!

Perfect addition to my living room. Sounds great, very simple setup.

Best Sound bar ever made by far easy to use aswell ..great quality of material feels heavy and secure ..and absolutely fell in love with my new purchsse

Sound quality is amazing. Ease of use with other products is seem less. Definitely need a subwoofer for larger rooms.

Very easy set up Big bang for the buck Great quality

Easy to set up and crisp clean sound. Love that you can control it from an app.

Very good sound quality and the installation was done promptly, good quality workmanship and very considerate and kind installers. Glen Balagna spent considerable time helping us choose the right and the best system for our needs. We depend on Glen for all our special installs.

Excellent sound quality….Easy to set up …Best sound bar I have ever used…

Good soundbar, sounds amazing, easy setup .

The best soundbar that I have ever owned. I am glad that the Best Buy salesperson talked me into this soundbar.

Great purchase & upgrade my opinion, went from sonos playbar which was only optic and didn't support Dolby Atmos. Definitely love quality with the HDMI Arc support and having the Dolby Atmos. Makes suround sound amazing!! Especially watching a show like stranger things on netflix! Highly recommend!

Great sound and easy set up. The price is a bit steep but well worth it. I have actually used Sonos Radio more than I initially thought I would.

This “little” sound bar with the sub and surrounds blows away my old bulky separates setup with floor standing Martin Logans and a medium sized Martin Logan center channel at putting you in the action. Hard to believe how good it sounds. By the way, the store demo doesn’t do it justice at all. I was apprehensive after I listened to it in the store but bought it anyway based on the reviews. The store’s physical space, lack of properly placed surrounds, and probably no auto tuning are unable to show what this system is capable of.
