    An excellent sound bar. Sound quality is excellent. It has above average bass, but I do miss the low frequency (it seemed a bit over priced at the time) speaker. Sound bar itself though has excellent presence, accuracy and clarity. Connectivity is with Sony TV is no problem, but hard to connect with smart phone etc. 4 stars for software, 5 for device sound quality.

    I was a bit skeptical of how good a soundbar could sound compared to a true home theater system. I was a bit of a snob about it for years, but I finally relented after realizing I wanted to just simplify my speaker setup and make it as easy as possible for my wife and house guests to use. With that as my goal, Sonos was the answer. Upon setting this up, I was extremely impressed with the sound quality, ease of use, and the fact that it actually made me hear sound effects to the sides and above me when watching Atmos content. This thing rules!

    Couldn’t be happier with the quality of sound from this bar. Set up is a breeze and the app is extremely user friendly. Some might say this isn’t a true high end system. While that might be true the sound at least for me is amazing. I have it paired with a Sonos Mini sub and 2 S1 speakers as rears. The wireless functionality is excellent. I did upgrade my TV with an e-arc port which eliminated voice synch challenges.

    Upgraded from a Samsung Q90r sound bar and was worried it was a potential downgrade as this is a 5.1 when the Samsung is a 7.1 but I paired my arc with a gen 3 sub and two Sonos fives as my rears and holy cow I’m absolutely blown away! Samsung who? The sound that these components put out bare absolutely incredible. The amount of bass. 10/10 would recommend. The ease of setting up everything in the app is insanely simple and fast. This is an incredible system and can’t wait for future products as I can confidently say I’ll be a Sonos guy for life.

    The Arc made a substantial difference over the Beam 2 I was using for my 4k TV. I moved the Beam 2 to my HD TV and everything sounds so much better. The Arc makes dialog a lot clearer than the Beam 2 did. I am very happy with my purchase!

    Elegant design excellent packaging. Amazing sound quality. Easy to set up. Integration with Spotify and Google voice assistant is seamless. Great clarity in the sound. Has the effect of an All in one speaker, so don't see myself getting any add ons. Value for money. Only Cons I can this of, is that it took forever for me to receive. The wait times for the arc is crazy. I feel like the power cord is a little flimsy and loose. Gets disconnected in the TV console is moved. Overall great purchase and no regrets!!

    Probably the best all around sound bar out there right now. The designed is beautiful and modern. Only dig is that it sits a little higher than I'd like as it's blocking about an inch or so of the bottom of my LG C2. The soundstage on this thing is incredible. I can feel how immersive my music was when I turned this thing on. It's not like a typical speaker where you hear sound coming straight at you. It feels like you are enveloped right in the center with sound coming all around you. I then paired the One SL's to create a surround experience and it just made everything better. Now when watching a movie, you can hear sounds coming from behind you and it's even better than being in the theatre when paired with the Sub Gen 3's. This created an environment I've never experienced at home before. Sound was coming off really clear and crisp from the Arc. The 2 One SL's created a fantastic surround experience and the Sub really hit that low end nicely. Not distortion whatsoever. Great thing about this system is that you can build on it over time if you don't have the funds to purchase the set all at once. The Arc itself sounded great and had a good amount of base. Musically, the Arc is all you need to enjoy a real immersive sound. But for movies, I would recommend getting the SL's and Sub.

    Sonos arc alone is ok needs sub

    Sonos arc everyone says it the best the greatest it’s not. Let’s be clear it sounds ok by itself. You definitely need the sub 100% the surrounds help out. It sounds great for a 3.1.2 system. You can 100% feel the lack of another set of up firing speakers when watching atmos content. All content sounds good whether it be music of tv content. But you need the sub to be more immersed in it. The room calibration feature helps out dramatically. The app now has a feature to raise the level of the up firing speakers. Put together it sounds good don’t expect much if you know anything about a good system. My thoughts alone the arc sucks lacks bass and power. With the sub you gain notable strong bass and a bit more power because you no longer use 2 of the arc speakers for bass. They’re now used as surrounds. Good but expensive. Easy setup. Sonos needs surrounds with up firing speakers. Final thoughts if it’s for a small room or bedroom maybe you can do without a a sub. Else you need the sub.

    The cost is pretty steep comoared to others, but compared to samsung amd a JBL I had, this one does very well to optimize sounds from highs to lows. Even without the sub I bought with it, running solo the bass is nice enough to get a good sound for movies without having the sub if iffy on paying 4-700 for one. Has the app to also use as a control which gives a nightime mode which comes in handy for night use. Only downfall I dont care for is it has to be connected to wif to use/work. Needed for the app, but if it doesnt connect to wifi, then I dont get connection. Too many devices to me to add another on my wifi. Overall though for the price, sounds very good, but if not willing to pay for it, then a smaller low end one would be sufficient. I really enjoy this for gaming also, I was iffy to pay this much at first, but after 2 months, im ok with it now.

    This sound bar is amazing and I find myself using it not just for movies and shows, but listing to music and watching videos. The audio is perfect and the easy of use with minimal wires makes this in my opinion the best soundbar on the market you can get, not to mention you can pair it up with other Sonos products to really get that move theater feel, will definitely be purchasing more Sonos products in the future

    I bought the Beam and then found out that the Arc would be released shortly. I returned the Beam, which was fantastic, and opted for the Arc since it is brand new tech. The sound is fantastic, I just have the Arc set up without any speakers or sub. I sold my Polk Audio 5.1 speaker set up to save space. Currently in an apartment with small to medium size living room and the sound from the Arc fills the entire space. Bass shakes the floor but seems clean and not over powering. Voices are loud and clear and center channel content is easy for me to hear, which was one of my concerns about going with a sound bar. Set up is a breeze using an iPhone. I have Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius XM, and Audible all connected to the Arc through the app. You can also play YouTube and other media from your phone and output sound through the Arc. My TV is only HDMI ARC and not e-ARC, but this sound bar is fairly future proof with its e-ARC support. I no longer have any need for a large, bulky speaker system, even when we move into a larger home. This is the perfect audio solution for me. I don't think I'll need the sub but it is simple to add other Sonos speakers to this if need be. Highly recommend the Arc!

    I went back and forth with deciding to buy an av reciever and speakers vs going with a sonos set up. I figured since i was in a 1800sq ft apt. I would get the spund bar. It is amazing deep rich base, clear surround sound and best of all crystal clear voices :) i dont have the sub or tbe surround speakers. Ill just add them as i expand. Easy set up, no cords. Sadly my TV does not support atmos so ill have to wait untill i get a new TV for that but. Im very content with dolby digital plus. Expensive yes. Worth it yes!

    I'm an absolute fan of Sonos products after purchasing the Arc Soundbar. It's simply outstanding. The sound from the bar is as good or better (better actually) than my previous Bose Acoustimass 5 speaker speaker system. It's pretty incredible. It was my first Sonos product purchase and I couldn't be happier with the sound, the style and its overall performance. It looks fantastic with my new Sony 77" OLED. They work perfectly together. This is something that I can honestly recommend to anyone that wants better, cinematic sound and ease of use. It was far easier to install and operate than the my previous Bose system. What I also love is that you can control the volume by voice command instead of reaching for the remote constantly. 10 out of 10 all day.

    This thing is amazing. The bass, sound clarity, and surround sound abilities are pretty impressive. It’s also extremely easy to set up and uses hardly any wires. Especially if you have a larger tv (65+) this will fit perfectly below it. No complaints other than if you are an apartment dweller, your neighbors might not be too happy when you’re watching movies.

    The Sonos Arc Soundbar with Dolby Atmos is hands down the best soundbar I’ve ever owned! The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs that create an incredibly immersive audio experience. The Dolby Atmos feature adds a whole new dimension to movies and music, making it feel like the sound is coming from all around you. It's easy to set up, and the sleek design blends perfectly with my living room decor. Whether you're watching a movie, gaming, or just listening to music, this soundbar delivers top-notch performance every time. Highly recommended!

    Best TV soundbar with some tips

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: - Dolby Atmos-compatible audio - Directional tweeters, strong standalone bass - Voice assistant support - Adapt to your room - Setting controls through app - Minimalist design (looks great) Cons: - Expensive - Set up can be confusing - Needs internet connection to work MPORTANT TIPS FOR SETUP: 1. The Sonos Arc only works with 2.4GHz range so you will need to set your modem/Wi-Fi router to have two bands (2.4 and 5 GHz). I would recommend connecting the Arc with an ethernet cable and connecting the other Sonos speakers wirelessly through Wi-Fi. When you connect the Arc with an ethernet cable, it creates a dedicated wireless network specifically for your Sonos system, which is better for high-end audio streaming and less Wi-Fi interference. 2. Make sure your TV has eARC. This allows the system to get the best audio. 3. Have your phone ready. You need it to set this up. 4. If you are watching through your TV, the Sonos Arc should automatically play Dolby and DD+. You can check it to make sure through your phone. However, if you are connecting the Sonos Arc to your computer, then you will need to get the Dolby Access app through Windows 10 app store.

    Coming from a run of the mill sound bar to using the Sonos arc and coupling it with a sub and surrounds has been a game changer for movie nights and sports alike. Music with or without spatial audio is amazing, and movies in Atmos are fantastic! Would highly recommend this, and have highly recommended this system, to my friends.
