    I have all of the Sonos products and a number of other soundbars. In relation to other Sonia products this one does have a flatter respond than the original soundbar and has better low end response than the original. The tone seems warmer than other products but that could be the placement of ours up near the tv/wall. Atmos just doesn’t have the same feeling unless you have a full surround sound setup but this bar does a good job of positioning of sounds to the sides and overhead. We teamed it with the Sonia sub which I would still recommend.

    So far we love it!! It took the amazing guys from the geek squad to get it all set up. So glad we purchased it. We connected to our 1995 5 disc changer CD/DVD player and can listen to our music all day. Yes...we are old people and still have CD's and DVD's. LOL!

    Returned it for the Beam (Gen2)

    Not sure what all the hype is about for this Arc. I tried it and returned it for the Beam (Gen2) setup. First, this Arc has no power. In a sound test at BestBuy, I had to turn the Arc's volume up to +73 to get the same sound level as the Beam when it was set at +48. No exaggeration. The Arc also has a terrible bass response. You WILL NEED the sub if you want any kind of full rich sound from this unit. 11 small speakers don't mean it's going to sound better than the Beam (Gen2) powerful 5 bigger speaker configuration. That along with it being double the price as the Beam (Gen2) was the deal breaker for me. Your listening pleasure may vary. Enjoy!

    Not very compatible with Xbox Series X

    My friend has a Sonos Arc and played it for me. I was blown away. Ordered one immediately and when I got it I couldn’t wait to set it up. Set up was very easy and everything was going smoothly. Until I ran Atmos. We use the Xbox Series X for most of our entertainment. Movies, shows and games. The problem is when the Xbox is set to 120hz for video, the Atmos constantly drops audio in movies and games. When I switch video to 60hz the Sonos sounds amazing. I didn’t buy a 4K 120hz tv to not enjoy the video quality to it’s fullest. Also, when I switch to our Dish receiver, there is on again off again audio lag. Yes, I tried every trouble shoot option. I scoured the internet and forums and saw a lot of the same issues from other owners with no real resolution. Sonos support was more of the same. Make sure A is connected to B, make sure setting Y is set to Z. Nothing worked. If you’re running a 60hz tv/system, this sound bar should work great. But if you’re running a 120hz system, wait a while until Sonos catches up to the technology. I’m returning this unfortunately and getting a cheaper Yamaha alternative for now.

      Hi, and thank you for the review. Curious if you have it plugged into the xbox or the tv? If plugged into the xbox, try plugging it into the Tv's ARC port. If plugged into the Tv, check to see if there are any updates available for the TV, and that the tv is set to output the proper audio codec. We would love to get you up and running so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Feel free to head over to sonos.com/support and we can get you squared away. Thanks again! john.milton

    Our new Sonos system has been an exciting addition to our Home Theatre. Our satisfaction started with a service call on our existing Bose system and ended with a great crew installing the new system. Thank You!

    I’ve had this for allost two months now and I absolutely love it. It’s expensive and is one of the high end soundbars, but if you have the money to splurge and would like an amazing audio system, this is absolutely worth it. It has a very minimalistic approach with the soundbar containing the base too. And boy does it deliver. The surround sound system on this is truly spectacular as it shoots out certain voices from the side of the bar, making you turn heads during certain scenes in movies/shows. 10/10 would recommend.
