Customer Ratings & Reviews

I haven't had it very long but the sound is really good. I am using it with the WIFI sub-woofer and I am very pleased. It is hard to believe how much good sound comes from a bar that is slightly smaller than others. Having the Dolby Atmos capability makes a big difference also.

Arc sounds good, very good. As does the mini sub and one SLs. High quality speakers with a simple to use ecosystem full of options. So why did I return it? Simply put, the surround effects did not meet expectations. Atmos rarely sounded like Atmos, and I never felt there was a bubble of sound around me. The front soundstage was disappointingly narrow, perhaps because my living room is a bit open on the right side. My living room is 12x20 fwiw. The Atmos demos felt broken up and not enveloping like they should. There was no surround precision. I tried every setting change, max height channel, multiple true play calibrations, it never did it for me. Meanwhile, Sonos pushes out firmware updates that seem to make things worse. I couldnt wait any longer. Music sounded amazing, super clear and with great separation, especially spatial audio. Ultimately, I went to Best Buy and heard the Samsung Q930 and it immediately blew me away. It was everything I wanted from the arc. Movies sounded cinematic finally. I will post my review for that, but ultimately I returned the Arc and aside from performance, I never really cared for the big round shape of it. I do miss the mini sub, that thing was amazing.

The sound is like being in a theater. We couldn’t possibly have it more that about 33% or it will blast us out.

I love this soundbar from Sonos. In my opinon, the placement of this sonos is the key because it took me awhile why it sound weird when I first used it. Keep in mind, my TV sits low and the soundbar sits higher on the stand of the TV. Everyone is saying that this soundbar is good paired with the sub. I would get both the sonos and the sub because it would make this Soundbar shine. If you already have sonos speaker at home, buy this to complete it.

The Sonos Arc is the best soundbar ... bar none! The set up is easy. The style is very sleek and modern. The sound is next level... Nothing close. You can not go wrong with this soundbar. I purchased the subwoofer and 2 Sonos Ones for a complete 5.1 system. Best home the

This thing is impressive- takes care of center, left, and right front speakers in theater setup. Sound quality is impressive and music with the sub is awesome. EASY set up, no wires going everywhere

Sounded great in the store and even better at home. Fills the room with clear sound. Subwoofer is a must. Also note that you'll need to have an iPhone to download the Sonos app and calibrate the room. Great packaging/unboxing experience as well

What a great sound bar, bought different ones in the past , this one has worked the best for my open concept room. The set up was easy and even made it sound better than just out of the box .

If you've bought a tv recently and are disappointed in the sound, this Soundbar will change everything, its amazing . Super simple to connect and the sound coming out of it is clear and sharp. Great buy.

Fantastic sound! It is very easy to set up using the HDMI cable provided to HDMI ARC on back of the TV. I am looking forward to adding the subwoofer soon but not sure its needed. It easily integrates with Amazon Alexa as well. Buy it.... you wont be disappointed.

Excellent sound and better than the 5.1 with Yamaha receiver. Sub adds a little more punch but not required for smaller rooms, IMHO.

Best sound bar I ever had, sound is clean and crisp.

the sono arc soundbar is high quality and is easily controlled by the app on your phone which is simple to use

I purchased the Sonos Arc, Gen3 sub and a 250 watt amp to push rear speakers. I already had amp pushing two BW front speakers and external sub. The only issue i ran into was that sonos would only allow my setup to include the Arc, Rear speakers, and Gen3 sub since the arc is supposed to be the front and center speakers. I was able to get everything to work as one and it sounds incredible. I had to use the sonso app on my cell phone and combine both setups to run as a group. Only down fall is that you need to use your cell app to control the volumes, But it sounds incredible for both Music and movies. Will purchase another arc for bed room

Love my sonos arc, good dolby atmos sound, great quality sound!!!

I think the "multidirectional projection" is overstated. It's a great soundbar but the upper, left and right projected sound is not detectable to me. My room may not be large enough but I don't detect them. Dialog is better than the old soundbar model but, again, A B testing isn't possible. As a long time Sonos customer (have 10 pieces various models over 6 years) I do think it's overpriced though. Sonos "play 5" and "Sub" are the most impressive products for their respective size. I don't have 2 Subs but I'd like to try it someday perhaps for the omnidirectional loading. A turntable and a pair of play 5's are very respectable audiofile listening setup. Simple and relatively inexpensive, no pre amp or amp needed.

The Sonos Arc is awesome when you have equipment that can take advantage of Dolby ATMOS! The sound flys around the entire room! The only issue I have with the Sonos Arc is that it only has one HDMI port that you have to use to connect to your HDMI eArc/Arc port on your TV. If you don’t have an eArc port the best you will get is Dolby Digital+ which is just shy of Dolby ATMOS quality. This is the case for me right now. If the Sonos Arc had a second HDMI port I could connect my 4K Apple TV directly to it which would allow me to get Dolby Digital+, I am limited to Dolby Digital only via the AppleTV right now.

Absolutely love this product from the ease of use to the great sound and great look everything works wonderfully and I love the Sonos app

Purchased the Sonos Beam and it sounded like it, sound was narrow and flat. Upgraded to the Arc, it has a much wider sound stage and fuller bass response as it has twice the drivers. I have the Arc paired with Ikea Symfonisk rear speakers hacked with a high level input to a 12in MTX home theater sub, skipping the Sonos sub gen3 for now. Unfortunately Sonos doesn't have an additional HDMI input to take advantage of Dolby Atmos so I upgraded to the Sony 65 A8H that has the necessary e-Arc HDMI port. Atmos is available on select titles within a few streaming services ie Space Force on Netflix but Schitt's Creeks same service does not produce Atmos. Overall the soundbar sounds great but don't let the hype fool you its a single soundbar and doesn't provide enough standalone for my liking and for the price you could get more like the Vizio Elevate full surround 5.1.4 which has excessive inputs and could produce Atmos on an older TV with compatible device such as Nvidia-SHIELD. I'll keep the Arc as it was what I wanted but the full package is just so dàmn expensive.

The Sonos Arc is a good Soundbar. Is it worth the price..well that is up to each individual. The setup is super easy. Instructions are clearly written. The unit is heavy and you could hurt someone with it. The build quality is great! Prior to purchase you need to evaluate the following: 1) Does your TV have Atmos Capability? If it doesn't you will NOT get the full experience of the soundbar and you will wonder why you spent so much money. My Samsung TV had Atmos Capability so I am good. A lot of people who negatively review the Arc did not evaluate their current TV prior to purchase. If you have a soundbar currently connected to your TV, highly recommend you remove it and reset TV sound settings prior to installing the Arc. Why? Your TV, especially, if Samsung will transfer the settings of your current soundbar to the Arc causing you issues with the Sonos App settings. My issue with the soundbar is that while moving between TV channels the sound fluctuates high / low. I can't find a way to stabilize via the App or TV settings. Honestly I am not sure whether Samsung, AT&T Uverse or Sonos should be blamed. My TV did manage the fluctuations in TV Channel volume prior to the soundbar installation.
