    This is a great sound bar. Well worth the money. Great depth of sound, and voices come across clear. Mated it up with my Sonos Play 5 speakers for a surround sound system. Really sounds good! Very simple to set up. Works great with Roku for surround sound when streaming movies.

    Wow, and then extra Wows when combined with two Era 100 surrounds. Customer support picked up on a Sunday morning and helped with setup...on a Sunday! Are you kidding me?? How many companies have support awake and ready to help on a Sunday these days?? I'm a Sonos believer and super fan now.

    I got this sonos arc in white, and it’s very aesthetic. It does not look too boxy or bulky. It provides astounding room filling, clear audio. I also have the Sonos beam and I realize you don’t get the full surround affect unless you have rear speakers such as the Sonos one, 100s or the 300s. But with the Arc, having sound push upwards towards the ceiling to have that virtual overhead effect, really immerse you in whatever content you’re watching. Do not lose clarity at a higher volume and sound. Don’t sound faded at a lower volume. I recommend pairing the sound bar with either the Sonos sub mini or the GEN 3 for better overall clarity and balance sound. GET GSP ON THIS, proctect your investment.

    Absolutely love the simplicity of setting up the Sonos Arc in just a matter of minutes. And the ease of expanding the system in the future. It goes to show that you don’t have to compromise sound quality to get something that’s a sheer joy to work with. The Sonos product line does not disappoint.

    Installed this in our family room that is open to the second floor, sound has always been an issue, Not anymore with the Sonos Arc. Easy to connect and always ready state means we are not looking for another remote to turn the sound bar on.

    The BEST I’ve Experienced

    I originally purchased the Sonos Bean 2 for my living room, but returned it for the Sonos ARC due to the size of the room (26’ x 20). The ARC has been excellent. Its ability to broadcast suck depth and richness of sound to include all frequency ranges as well as directional sound… so well… is both perplexing and impressive. Paired with a Sonos Sub, it’s perfect.

    Purchased along with the Subwoofer. The sound is amazing and the set up was a breeze. Chose the arc because it delivers great sound for music as well as TV.

    SOOOOO easy to set-up. Took less than 10 minutes to install. Has a GREAT sound and you can control the volume from a single remove (in my case, my FIOS remote) or my phone. Next I will purchase the subwoofer and surround sound speakers (after my move)!

    This was super easy to set up. Along with the app on your phone you can really dial this in sound wise and at night you can change modes and really tune sound so it focuses on you and can run at lower volume

    I have to say, this was part of my first Sonos purchase. Im an audio guy at heart and it was a hard choice to ditch my wires for wireless. But this system pumps! Quality sounds on all frequencies. Its a bit pricey, but if you enjoy quality audio for tv/movies/games/music, then this will not disappoint! Sonos makes linking the Sub and Era speakers speakers a breeze, as well.

    Went into the store to buy a good product and walked out with a better product. The associate took the time to share the Sonos experience with us after asking what our goals were in the house. We paired the Sonos arec with two Sonos Five and three Sonos One speakers. Spread throughout the house, it is an immersive sound that hits you in your core. Whether you are listening to rock, rap, country or Frank it hits you. Then you throw in super bowl games and the sound flowing through the house with multiple tvs on but volume down on the set and the Sonos system delivering the experience. You feel like you are at the cinema watching the game. If you can't tell... I am a FAN of the Sonos system. Looking to add more to the patio and basement areas now!

    The sound is amazing by itself. Can’t wait to add the sub and surround speakers down the road. Easy setup and connection to TV. Dolby Atmos sounds great from programs on Netflix. I am very impressed with the sound from this sound bar. This speaker is equally as good as my prior 5.1 setup.

    After waiting and missing the prior arrival, I bought this one as soon as it was available. I replaced my Sonos Playbar. The Arc connects with a HDMI cable as opposed to the optical only for the Playbar. The sound is great and setup was easy. Just had to remove them add the surrounds again in the mobile app.

    Bought this for my Dad as a father's day gift and he cannot stop raving about this soundbar. He has been a audio engineer for over 30 years and he is deeply impressed by the sound created in this single package. Although it was a little tough for him to setup, anyone who is even a little tech savvy should have no issue. This thing is expensive, but absolutely worth it due to the quality of sound, and will greatly improve your viewing experience.

    If you know Sonos then you know how easy all of their products are to setup and how well they all work together. I have a Sonos sub and Sonos architectural rear speakers running through a Sonos amp with the Arc. It’s just simply great.

    Amazing quality. Solid while watching TV. Better than I have ever had. BUT…..if you really want to experience something let it stretch its legs. I have the bar, 2 300 speakers and the large sub. IT IS AMAZING. Crisp, powerful and exceptional. With the added bonus of not having to cut any holes in the ceiling or run that obnoxious speaker wire.

    An incredible soundbar, yes it is expensive but I believe Sonos is worth every $. I did not buy the subwoofer yet, but I don't really feel the need to as the bass alone from this is great. If you on the fence about the price point, it is 100% worth the investment for A+++ theater quality sound.
