    I had a Bose that stopped working and kept turning off so I switched to Sonos and it was so easy to set up and pair with my existing Sonia speakers to give me an awesome wireless surround sound.

    I am very pleased with this sound bar. The sound is natural and clear unlike the 2 others I’ve owned. I would highly recommend it. The size is compact but the sound is not!

    This sound bar is truly incredible! I read and watched a number of reviews before purchasing this soundbar and it does not disappoint! You hear rich tones, highs and lows in great clarity. I love the Sonos App that works in conjunction with the system

    Worth The Extra Dollar!

    I used to work at Best Buy and I definitely sold many different soundbars. Yes this is one of the more expensive ones, but for those who understand that sometimes paying the extra dollar is worth it, then this is the item for you. I agree, the price is high, but definitely worth it. I have sonos all over my house now and when I have small kickbacks/smaller parties, I enjoy the fact that I can connect my Spotify to the entire house. Sonos Five in the kitchen/dining room, One SLs in 3 different bedrooms, Move in the backyard, and the entire surround setup in the living room with the Arc. Amazing sound quality, totally worth every dime.

    I was shopping for a soundbar with Dolby Atmos because my LG CX internal speakers are of very poor quality. Came upon this soundbar, preordered right away and now I finally have it on release day. It is simple to set up with the app, and it is a major upgrade from any internal speakers of a TV. The price is a little on the premium side, but not nearly as steep as for example a Sennheiser AMBEO. It is perfect for someone who doesn't want to mess with the world of enthusiast multi-speaker home theater, and instead just wants a great standalone soundbar that can do it all. The soundbar doubles as a smart speaker and has voice control built-in if you care for it. It does support eARC and Dolby Atmos in terms of the latest technologies. A great $800 to spend to up the game if you are unsatisfied with your TV speakers.

    Bought this on the recommendation from an associate when I was shopping for a new tv. So glad I took his advice. Paired with the gen 3 sub the sound is amazing. I will be adding a second sub and era 300’s soon. Absolutely recommend!!

    Took me a while to save up for this but boiiiii am I happy with the results. Playing movies and games really take my setup to the next level. The bass it delivers is exactly what I wanted and the quality of sound that comes out is truly amazing. TLDR: Great sound / Great performance / Great Bass

    Ok so before the arc I had a Bose 700 w/sub & let me tell you way out preforms the Bose 700. One thing I was concerned out was clearly hearing dialogue as the Bose handles this perfectly, well the ARC does & more. Unit is very easy to setup & get going. Also I have this paired with the sub.

    Easiest setup I have ever experienced with a soundbar. The sound is great with music and loud movies. The dialog volume seems to be a little low even after the balancing and tuning with the app. Paired with a sub and it makes more than enough noise for our living room.

    Best soundbar I've ever had, Sonos ecosystem solid

    The ARC came in last to complete my setup with the sub gen 3 and 2 One SL's for surrounds. I had none of the issues I saw on the Sonos forums/reddit regarding bass distortion. Again though I have a stand alone sub so that likely helped. But for me the sound was excellent and I have zero complaints. The sound stage up front is a noticeable upgrade and with the One's for surround and the base you'll truly have a full theater setup. I think for some they need to 1) have realistic expectations as to what Atmos sounds like (even with actual ceiling speakers vs. the bouncing setup) and that 2) your room setup will have a lot of impact on the sound. I have this setup in a large master bedroom which is rather squared minus the open retreat to the side. I almost want to try it downstairs in our open living room to see how it holds up. Note that I have a full Atmos discreet setup with a receiver in another room. I didn't expect much from the Sonos setup but will said it can give my main setup a run for it's money.

    Sonos-Worth the Money

    Had to replace my last soundbar because it was not connecting to my TV. My new Sonos Soundbar was a little pricy, but so far seems well worth the money. The quality is great and I don't even have a subwoofer or other external speakers yet. Setting it up was a little awkward and maybe that was an issue with my TV, but it wouldn't connect at first. In the morning, everything started working automatically and now I have no issues whatsoever. Very Happy!

    With two OneSL speakers added for surround it it amazing. Personally I think the bass is very well balanced and there is plenty there for TV. I go back and forth on whether to buy the bass unit or not. The sound bar alone is very nice but for the Atmos, get the surrounds as well!! So good.
