Muffled Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it today. I was using playbar before Arc. I think playbar is better than Arc. Because i never have any sound muffled experienced in playbar. But in arc when i played some deep bass songs. It sounds so bad. I don’t think this bar is worth it

Posted .Thank you for your review. We're sorry you're having issues with installation from Geek Squad. We would love if you would consider rewriting your review once you've had time to experience your product, as the review is intended to be on our products and not on your experience with Best Buy. Best Buy does not monitor these and will likely not see it. Thank you for your consideration and we hope they get you up and running asap!
Underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Waited months to finally get the Sonos Arc just to be completely disappointed. The overall sound was underwhelming and lacked depth. The frequencies were all over the place and sounded muffled. Will be returning.

Posted .Hi, and thank you for taking the time to review the Sonos Arc. We would recommend ensuring that your tv is outputting the proper audio codec. This can usually be done in the television settings.
- Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound quality
Quite impressive!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Sony HT-Z9F Dolby Atmos soundbar with the surrounds. It was a great sounded setup, but always felt like something was missing. I recently purchased the Samsung HW-Q90R atmos soundbar to try out because it had fantastic reviews. It sounded decent (the surrounds are terrible), but it just sounded like a bunch of speakers jammed into a GIANT soundbar to get big sound. I ended up taking it back because the sony I currently own sounded better. I was finally able to get my hands on the Sonos Arc and the One SL surrounds. I have never owned a sonos product, so didnt really have high Hopes for the system. The setup is super straight forward and easy to setup. I tried it out before doing the trueplay room correction and it sounded great. The bass coming from just the soundbar itself and the surrounds (I haven't purchased the sub yet) was extremely tight and well rounded. I then ran the trueplay correction and wow, it really opened up the dialog and fine tuned everything else. Needless to say, I am definitely keeping the arc setup and am looking forward to it sounding even better once the speakers have broken in.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure this would be the best sound bar I ever purchased - however Best Buy took my money and never came to install the sound bar. Eventually, I got refunded I then bought it directly from Sonos for a better price.

Poor service
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish you could get your delivery and geek squad dates coordinated and correct to begin with. As was I would have a geek squad employee showing up without either of us having the sound bar to be installed. Very disappointed.

Terrible service
||Posted .

Even though its their fault they canceled our speaker. Stealing money.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased a Sonos Arc on 8/24/20. Today is 9/19/20 and it still has not been shipped! When I made the purchase the sales clerk told me it should ship in approximately one week. Now I have to pay for a product that I don't have nor can Best Buy tell me when it will ship.

Best buy has terrible customer service
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Avoid best buy like the plague. They do not honor install or delivery dates. They will not refund either
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When hooked up to the TV the sound does not play at times... other times the sound doesn't match with peoples lips. JUNK! It doesn't come with a remote... and when hooked up the volume bar on my TV changes from numerical to a plus and minus. GARBAGE!!!

Posted .Hi, and thank you for leaving feedback! There were some known issues with eArc on certain tv's when Arc was plugged in. We would recommend updating your tv's latest firmware to download this fix as it's been released recently. We don't include a remote because who wants another remote to keep track of? You can just use the one your tv already uses!
Utter Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage. No tech support. They simply don't care. Good luck, you're on your own! Oh, let's also not forget how they will discontinue support for your speakers that worked perfectly fine forcing you to trade them in on soaked that don't work.

Can’t get it to work…

Posted .If you’re having trouble setting up your Sonos Arc, here are some steps to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the issue:
Check Power and Connections:
Power Supply: Ensure the Sonos Arc is plugged into a working power outlet and the power cable is securely connected.
HDMI Connection: Verify that the HDMI cable is properly connected to the HDMI ARC port on your TV and the Sonos Arc.
Verify TV Settings:
HDMI ARC: Make sure your TV’s HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) is enabled. This setting might be in the TV’s audio or HDMI settings menu.
Audio Output: Set the TV’s audio output to “External Speaker” or “ARC” to direct sound through the Sonos Arc.
Update Sonos App:
Latest Version: Ensure you have the latest version of the Sonos app installed on your phone or tablet. Updates can fix bugs and improve functionality.
Reset Sonos Arc:
Factory Reset: If setup is still not working, try performing a factory reset on the Sonos Arc. To do this, press and hold the join button on the back of the Arc until the LED flashes orange and white, then release. This will reset the Arc to its factory settings.
Check Network Connection:
Wi-Fi: Ensure your Sonos Arc is connected to your home Wi-Fi network. The Sonos app should guide you through the setup process to connect the Arc to Wi-Fi.
Follow Sonos App Instructions:
Setup Wizard: Open the Sonos app and follow the setup instructions carefully. The app should guide you through each step to connect the Arc to your network and configure it with your TV.
Reboot Devices:
Restart: Restart your Sonos Arc, TV, and router. Sometimes, a fresh start can resolve connectivity issues.
Check for Interference:
Wireless Interference: Ensure there are no significant sources of interference that might be affecting the Wi-Fi signal or HDMI connection.
If you’ve tried these steps and still can’t get the Sonos Arc to work, contacting Sonos customer support at support.sonos.com may be necessary. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation and help you troubleshoot further.
