    I love this soundbar. It’s HomeKit compatible, so I can control it with my iPhone. It connects directly to my tv and handles the audio for all my devices, so when I turn off the television (with my phone) it also turns off the soundbar and all my devices. The sound is incredible and it DOES show as Dolby Atmos on the display! I will be adding the subwoofer soon!

    It dose totally ingulf around you. If you have earc on your tv your Atmos works automatically. I have the bass module, and the play Fives for total surround sound. The Atmos makes helicopters and planes sound like they’re flying over head. I totally love it. If you like it loud on certain shows and movies you have to turn the volume almost all the way up, but I thinks it the broadcasting not the speaker.

    This soundbar transformed our movie watching. It is some of the most crisp sound you’ll ever experience. We play music through the airplay functionality and everyone almost went deaf because we didn’t realize how loud it was. Clear tones even at max volume (protect your ears and make sure not to go that loud). Must have for the tone and ecosystem

    I tested a number of sound bars before choosing Sonos. It is by far superior to other sound bars in the same price range. The design and shape fit seamlessly.

    I upgraded to the Sonos Arc from a Bose soundbar. I also added a Sonos 1, a 5 and a Sonos Move. The sound is great. The speakers work together, and don't overwhelm you. There is excellent separation of the speakers. The Sonos software is intuitive and easy to understand and use. I am so glad I made the switch.

    I needed to replace my old wired surround sound- was aging and wanted a simpler solution. Sonos system was the answer. Arc with the gen 2 sub and 2 era 300 surrounds. Sounds great and super easy setup!

    Best soundbar I’ve owned. Definitely needs the subwoofer, but that’s easy to connect whenever. Also great when combined with rear speakers for an Emerson’s experience.

    SONOS system proves to be great!

    I bought the ARC as well as the sub-woofer and 2 SONOS 1's for our family room. My TV is a 2013 model and only has the ARC output and not the eARC so I'm not able to take advantage of the ATMOS sound, but the ARC still provides great sound. I think the sub-woofer is probably a must if you want the best sound. My wife and I are very pleased with the SONOS system. It was hard to give up on the old 1980 analog receiver and our YAMAHA surround sound system, but the SONOS system is a great replacement. My wife is any man's dream when it comes to vehicles and electronics. She talked me into buying a MOVE also and I've been back to Best Buy now for 4 more SONOS 1's! We have them all over the house. Not maybe necessary with having the MOVE, but now I can walk throughout the house with music playing and enjoy the wonderful sound of the SONOS system!

    This Arc soundbar is incredible! Stand alone it's produces just amazing audio from my new LG 77" OLED TV. The ATMOS has to be heard to believe. When paired with the Sonos One SL in a surround sound setup it increases the ATMOS experience to a new level. Then I added the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) and had to hang on when enjoying action movies. And playing music on this system is amazing!

    We had issues with clarity with our old soundbar. The Sonos Arc has resolved those issues and fits nicely on the Sanus TV/Soundbar mount we purchased. Sound is clear and crisp.

    Sonos Arc delivers a home theatre experience without the pains of a legacy system. With an iOS device you will be set up and watching more TV than you should. Pair it with Sonos sub, or mini sub AND some surrounds like the Era 300. Goodbye dollars but hello viewing experience and zero spending regrets. I installed a 7.1 Sonance in wall/ceiling wired system with top-of-the-line Marantz Receiver and my new Sonos system blows it away. I regret that Sonance system immensely. Dont forget a Sonos Arc extendable mount, media panel mount and some zip ties to manage cables!

    Amazing sound - movies, music, sports - exactly what I was looking for. Sonos app is easy to use and I love being able to control music between my arc, beam, and move. Bought all three together as my first Sonos purchase. Will be adding more to our system. The bass is really good on the arc - not sure if I’ll need the sub, but will get one’s for other rooms. Great products.

    While Christmas shopping, we decided to shop for ourselves and upgrade our sound system in our living room. Well worth every penny on it!! The sound is deeper, richer, and more full than I could have ever expected. I’m wondering why it took us so long to do it. Our old system was good, but this is great. With adding surround speakers and the sub (even the mini works in a good sized living room), it adds near theater sound. The clarity with all sound is truly amazing, and using the app, you can tailor it to your preferences, and it makes it so much easier to control. I highly recommend checking out Sonos products if you’re looking to update your home sound system.

    Exactly what a sound at should be, easy to install and quick and easy to set up and sounds great for a sound bar. Other sound bars were good at movies but no so great with music, this performs well with both. I wouldn’t note that we did get the soundbar sub combo though.

    Sound bar is high quality in look, build and sound. I purchased this sound bar to integrate with my existing Sonos household system. Highly recommend purchasing Sub with sound bar for bass. The Sub will make sound bar sound even better as well. Due to my room setup, dimension and high ceiling, Atmos is hard to distinguish but others may have better results I would purchase again!

      Hi, and thank you for this review! Incase you have not yet, try running Trueplay tuning to see if that helps with your high ceilings. (Must be done with an IOS device) john.milton

    I have this in the bedroom and the Ultra in the living room. I would say very close with the exception of the motion sound. Bought it open box and was shocked when i picked it up. Literally no box, no power cord, just handed me the soundbar.
