Too expansive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing special………………………………………………………………………………………..
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat product but not excellent.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The item works great. However I would enjoy the product more if it had a better EQ in the setting mode. Meaning an EQ with mid sound and higher /treble pitch sound. When puts together in the surround sound mode, the output sound quality has too much lows muffles.
I would recommend this to a friendDisappointing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money! Very disappointed in the overall sound quality. Definitely does not give even a little sound sound. Have to think I would have been better off with much less expensive speakers.

Ok sound. Poor software. Useless salesman.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was pushed on me by a salesman at my local Best Buy that blatantly lied in order to get me to buy this and the Sonos Sub. Once I got through the extensive steps to get it all set up, realized the salesman had lied and this sound system will in fact not link through google home to any other grouped speakers. This is a failure by Sonos and it is their responsibility to fix this engineering failure. The best buy sales rep would get one star for failing to know this factual information. I haven’t decided if I am going to return the set yet because the sound is pretty nice
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Does not work with many EArc Tvs
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work with many EArc enable TVs. You may think you are lucky, but after the first couple of weeks or longer, the sound will begin to cut in and out. Just look at the Sonos website for comments. It has been 5 months and they have not fixed the issue. If you want to buy an $800 Atmos sound bar and then disable EArc or plug it in via optical, go right ahead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Bass
Sound bar Misconceptions
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The supposedly worlds best sound bar is missing the basic outputs to optical and only 1 hdmi port. Sound was poor with too much bass and words ware not clear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Large TV purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.haven't installed the product yet so i can't make an evaluation yet
I would recommend this to a friendAudio Cutting off issue
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was totally happy for the first week of purchase. But then slowly experiencing the Audio cutting off issue. I am not able to enjoy any TV programs as the audio cuts off for 4-5 seconds intermittently and completely runing my experience. For $800 worth of Soundbar, I atealst expect audio to be available throughout my usage. I contacted Sonos through their community page, but not getting any prompt response. I really don't know what should I do at this point! I will wait for a week or two, if not I will have to return the Arc, along with two SLs and a SUB I bought it together for the Home Theatre experience.

Ask later
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t answer it’s not set up yet. Geek squad busy can’t come till the end of the month
I would recommend this to a friendCash Grab
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its too expensive. They should offer better bundle packages, which they do not. Sound quality is equivalent to a sony 4 piece valued at $200
No, I would not recommend this to a friend?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No substantial improvement over the Sonus sound bar we had. Understanding dialog is still an issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Sonos Customer Care
Posted .I’m sorry to hear that you’re not seeing a significant improvement with your Sonos Arc and are still experiencing issues with dialogue clarity. While the Arc typically offers enhanced sound performance with features like Dolby Atmos, I understand how frustrating it can be when it doesn’t meet your expectations.
To improve dialogue clarity, I recommend trying a few adjustments:
Speech Enhancement Mode: Enable this feature in the Sonos app, which boosts vocal frequencies to make dialogue clearer.
Night Sound Mode: This reduces loud sounds while amplifying quieter sounds, which can also help with dialogue clarity.
Adjust EQ Settings: In the Sonos app, adjust the EQ settings (especially treble and bass) to suit your listening preferences and improve vocal presence.
If the issue persists, feel free to reach out for further support at support.sonos.com. We want to make sure your experience is as good as it can be!

Overrated and expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely mediocre sound bar and it is expensive! The fact that you can't add outside audio components and have to use a different app to control sound, music etc. is less than ideal. Save your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend No instructions so can’t review.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No instructions on how to set up so still sitting next to the tv.
I would recommend this to a friendPretty expensive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not fill the room, need to buy whole ecosystem to sound good
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDont buy sonos save a large never ending headache
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy something different there app and system isnt worth a sh't. The alarm disappeared with app update. The SL100s are worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHorrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely hated it. The sound was muffled and scratchy. Ane there is no controller and the app is hard to use in a family. Worse than the cheap one we already had. Returned it and got an awesome JBL to replace it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMeh.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly don’t understand the hype it sounds good but is it worth almost $900. Nope
