    The more I hear the ARC the more I am impressed with its deep rich immersive sound. I love this addition to my living room TV. I have a home theater system so I wanted something for this television I would enjoy listening to without the required speakers hanging on the walls or taking up space on the floor. This fit the bill and was worth the expensive price tag. It has plenty of bass for movies even without the added subwoofer. I’ve owned this for over 9 months before writing this review. Highly recommend!

    Sonos Arc Review

    Sonos Arc soundbar is best in class. Easy to mount and set up, simple user interface with the Sonos App, and most importantly, incredible sound. I hooked it up through the eArc port on my television, and the lossless sound is perfectly synced to all the programs. There is a clear quality difference in listening to something on regular cable television vs. something streamed in Dolby Atmos. Also, the seamless Airplay compatibility allows user to play music from anywhere in the house. The soundbar is pricey, but you won't be disappointed.

    Excellent sound quality, sturdy design, and simplicity in assembly and connection. You can easily attach it to your TV mount or wall in a short time! No need to mention that you are buying a pricy soundbar! I'm considering replacing my 2014 Samsung TV since it has a lot of sound quality reduction. After I paired it with my iPhone, my 3.5-year-old daughter began to play her songs on it, including Happy, Spiderman, and I Can't Feel My Face. Of course, we must listen to each song five or six times, otherwise, my lady will be sad!

    Absolutely amazing room filling and full bodied sound especially when coupled even with the smaller sub. Elevated my music listening and movie watching experience 10-fold from what I had before. A must have if you want to invest in immersive rich sound for your TV or everyday music listening sessions. No cons at all for me an year later.

    Great sound and functionality of the speaker and the Sonos app. I can't wait eventually to get the sub woofer and the rear speakers to complete the setup! Best Buy is awesome as well, really consumer oriented and efficient - I'm glad to see the store gets busy, we don't want Amazon taking over the world.

    I read one bad review about the bass getting weird but I have not had that problem under any situation. Music, Movies or video games. At first I thought this sounds just like the PlayBar but as I turned up the volume and listened a little closer you can hear a significant difference in quality. The Arc is much much louder and the clarity is amazing. Dolby atoms is amazing and it sounds better than a movie theater. Still the PlayBar sounded very good. I nos have Sonos speakers in every room of my house. I’ve purchased and tried them all and Sonos is what I went with. Unless I have this bass issue I’m keeping it.

    Definitely An Improvement Over The Playbar

    First of all I would have purchased the ARC [white] regardless because the black playbar never matched my decor. That said, if you previously owned the Sonos 5.1 with the previous Playbar you will not be disappointed with the ARC. A little more crisp, nothing lost in quality for TV and Music playback. Airplay2 is a much needed bonus. No more need to play music from that convoluted and bugged down iOS/PC Sonos app. For my setup, I just swapped the Playbar with the ARC using previous Sub and ONE Surrounds. Just remove the sub and surrounds from previous setup. Unplug the Playbar, Power up the ARC and set it up, then power on the ONES and Sub and add them to the ARC. Voila. Dolby Atmos: I have mixed feelings and little bit disappointed. Here is why. I used a Dolby Atmos Demo CD to test the sound. The limitation of soundbars in effectively reproducing Dolby Atmos sound effects is well known. I believe Sonos built the ARC with users who might be using the unit by itself alone in mind. So the ARC was designed as a dedicated Dolby Atmos system with the up-firing speakers built-in. Now, what happens when you add 2 ONE surround speakers and a sub. For some reason the ARC does not pass on or share the Dolby Atmos sound effects with the Surrounds, it tries to reproduce all the effects by itself. And there-in lies the limitations. I've seen other 5.1 systems that come very close to reproducing the Dolby Atmos sound effects by using the surround speakers. I believe the ARC in a 5.1 setup could do even better if only the surrounds were in concert. Hopefully with future firmware updates this can be achieved. In the meantime the ARC rocks.

    This thing is amazing. The sounds coming out of it with Dobly Atmos is immersive. I paired mine with the sub. It will blow you away. I’ve had plenty of sound bars in my life but nothing compares to this. The sounds are so crisp and clear. I downloaded the Sonos app and it helped with the setup. The airplay feature is amazing, no issues at all. Alexa on it works great. It’s a little pricey but if you can get it on sale that’s even better. Go for it, you won’t regret it.

    Easy to set up and has great sound! I love the fact that you can buy it in pieces instead of all at once and still have a great audio experience. I purchased the soundbar and mini sub but plan to add some rear speakers soon.

    A soundbar with Dolby Atmos!!

    After some extensive research, I am convinced to have Sonos system. I bought the Sonos Arc, Sonos 3rd gen Sub, and a pair of Sonos SL. The setup is extremely simple with the Sonos app. However, Sonos Arc is using HDMI-eArc, which is the main port to get the Dolby Atmos effect, be sure to verify if your TV has the HDMI-eArc!! The quality of the sound is superb for a soundbar. The wireless features worth the extra money instead of running through bunch of cables and wires.

    Buy it you won’t be sorry. This speaker produces the clearest sound. I upgraded from the play bar and this exceeded my expectations. And the ability to play atmos is huge plus. This speaker has incredible style functionality. The arc is easy to install with using your iPhone.

    Absolutely amazing. This is the best sound bar I’ve had heard by far. I have it synced with two Sonos ones, for great surroundsound. I do not have the woofer, but it it has good bass too. It’s streamline design mounts easily to the wall.

    I added the Sonos arc to my Bravia 8 TV and I’m very pleased with the easy set up and excellent sound quality. It has deep rich sounds with clear dialogue which come from all directions, as relevant to the video. I highly recommend.

    I added their best sub and two One-SLs for a premium Dolby Atmos experience. Lossless and Apple Spatial(through AppleTV 4K) is phenomenal. The system was very easy to setup with the app and it uses your phone to activate each component. So if your looking for premium home theater sound and a great music system and you do not want to build a complete home theater system, this is for you.

    Excellent sound including voice clarity and simple set up. Very easy to hang on wall using the optional wall mount. I’ve had nothing but Bose for many years and still respect them but this sound bar dominates.
