    I have Sonos products in three rooms in my house including play ones, playbar, and the beam. The arc is by far the best product sonos has made. It blows the playbar out of the water, even without the sub. The price is steep but for me I know I’ll have it for years and the quality is great- so a no brainer.

    Great sound, Sonos app makes it easy to do on the fly sound adjustments. As they say it does fill the room with sound. My wife and I are in our 60’s,we don’t have the hearing we used to. I spent $$$$ trying to get a good sound for watching TV and movies. The difference between soft voices and the dramatic sound had me constantly adjusting the volume so we could he the dialogue. With the app i adjust it 1 time and I’m done. I could not achieve this with other systems. Love it!,,,

    I purchased the Arc to replace a full size bulky Klipsch system in our basement. I paired this sound bar with two Sonos One SL speakers and the wireless sub. The clarity of vocals is great and the projection fills the area. Most audio does not have Dolby Atmos encoding so I am not sure exactly how much better this actually is over the original Playbar. I have a similar set up upstairs with a Playbar, two Sonos Ones and a wireless sub. That combo actually sounds better in my opinion but that likely is specific to the room because the surround speakers are much closer to the Arc in the basement. The auto set up seems to have overly muted the surround causing the Arc to do more of the heavy lifting. Functionally, the ability to easily control the Arc with the TV remote is very nice. I cannot get my Samsung remote to work upstairs on the original Playbar forcing me to use a Harmony Elite. With the Arc, it immediately recognized the remote. I would recommend this unit if you want a thinner profile, great sounding sound bar that is ready for future tech (Atmos). Keep in mind that the source, TV (E-Arc) and sound bar must all be Atmos in order to actually get it. If they are not, the two top firing speakers on the Arc sound bar will just compliment the regular Dolby surround with a little added bass. If you are looking to save a couple hundred dollars, the original Playbar is still a very good sounding option. Finally, the Arc sound bar requires a separate app from Sonos which is a little annoying if you have older Sonos equipment in your house.

    Sonos Arc!!

    First off, like with all Sonos products, the unboxing of the arc is part of the experience. It doesn't take long but you know you're dealing with a premium product. Two things I noticed right away were how aesthetically pleasing this soundbar looks and how high end the build quality feels. It is long so make sure you have a stand that will accommodate. The setup is very easy. I was adding it to an already existing Sonos system and had no trouble syncing it in the app. I have it paired with a Sonos sub and two Sonos ones and the system sounds amazing. It brings movies to life in a way I'd never experienced in a home setting before. Music fills the room with clarity and a grand vibrancy that is extremely pleasing to the ear. Now I've only heard the arc as part of the 5.1 system but I'm sure it would sound great as a stand alone soundbar. It will definitely be a big upgrade from the television speakers or any other stand alone soundbar. I'd say that Sonos has delivered their best product to date with the arc.

    This soundbar sounds fantastic. With the Atmos setting it sounds like objects are all around the room during a movie. Love it. But in all honestly, the Sonos Playbar is also a very good sounding soundbar. I own both, and gosh if I’m being really honest, I’d probably just but the cheaper one.

    Sounds great, voices very clear. I can’t try out Atmos, because you need a TV with e-arc HDMI 2.1 Port. You can add wireless subwoofer to give you more bass, but I think it already has enough bass for my taste. My television speakers just couldn’t give us the sound we needed, so adding unit fixes that problem.

    Love this sound bar. Amazing quality of sound. Doesn’t have Bluetooth capabilities & is a little pricey since you have to purchase the subwoofer separately. But it’s super easy to set up. Just plug & play. Highly recommend it.

     This has changed everything for me. I was having to use closed captions on my TV on my brand new Sony Bravia TV, because I couldn’t hear what people were saying, and I would turn up the volume and then all of a sudden there would be like a loud, shooting scene or a loud you know, explosions, and be so loud that I have to turn it down turn it down turn it down soon as I got the sound bar it immediately helps me be able to hear people talking precisely I do not know longer need the close captions. It’s amazing ever helicopter goes past. You can hear it going from your left side all the way to your right side. This sound bar is absolutely a game changer in the sound bar game.

    The Sonos Arc sounds amazing. I paired it with two Sonos 1 gen2s and the setup was super easy. The app is easy to use and makes it easy to customize the settings for your room perfectly. I can definitely hear right and left surround but the height is not exactly distinguished.

    Outstanding Surround Sound Experience!!

    I bought the Sonos Arc Sound Bar along with the Sonos Subwoofer about three weeks ago. All I can say is the overall Surround sound experience is OUTSTANDING! And I never thought that the kind of power coming out of these units could be accomplished without a very good AV Receiver. But the sound combination of the Arc and Subwoofer are very clear, far reaching and very thunder-like in it's power. No, it doesn't have a remote, but I think once you get used to it, the Sonos App on phone is user friendly for the sound adjustments. Plus through the App, it's very easy to add additional Sonos wireless speakers to add to your Surround sound experience, as well as throughout the rest of your home as your budget permits. Yes, it's definitely pricy, but without having the added pricing of adding an AV receiver and having a professional home installation wired throughout your home is definitely worth it. Very satisfied!!!

    Great soundbar. Easy to set up. For 9 star results, you really need the sub to go along with the soundbar. For 10 star result, get the surrounds (x2) along with sub and soundbar. Pricey package but well worth it. Don't wait as supply is hit or miss so get it soon.

    I actually ordered a Samsung surround sound to go with my Samsung tv. Turn our the Sonos system was way better then Samsung. Ended up with sound bar and subwoofer could not be happier. Even my wife can tell the difference in sound compare to the Samsung.

    Easy to setup, high quality sound, works well with Xbox Series X. Even better when you pair with other Sonos gear, I’ve managed to get Dolby Atmos configured and it’s made playing video games or watching movies really fun.
