    Great - If Sonos Fixes the Bugs

    The Sonos Arc is a good looking sound bar. The set up through the app is pretty seamless. Overall, its a great buy - if it can connect to your ARC HDMI port. There are notable issues with the Sonos Arc not working well through the ARC port on Samsung and LG TVs. You can connect the sound bar using the optical adapter. But you won't be able to access Dolby Atmos sound. Also, the Google Assistant works well through the sound bar - unless you want to listen to music. Then you have to use the Sonos app on your phone to play music.

    Sonos products are fairly user-friendly. It was ease to unpackaged and setup. The sound quality is great and really fills the room. I've also synced it up with 2 Sonos One speakers. Another easy setup and all together great theater sound.

    I'm holding off on 5-stars until SONOS fix Atmos

    So, this thing works great and looks nice. It fits well under our LG C9 65" TV. I placed about 4" below the bottom edge of the wall-mounted TV per the recommendations. At this point, the last LG firmware for the TV hosed the Atmos use - at least for TV and DirecTV. It's hard to chase these issues with firmware as there are three devices here that need to match up and do things correctly: TV LG C9 TV SONOS Arc That aside, we watched "Greyhound" after a couple weeks of burn-in on the Arc. Re-did the EQ and TruePlay and turned it up! It sounded amazing - I have no SONOS sub yet, so we were all impressed as-is. One day I may opt in for the Sub, but for now, it's very very good. One thing I have to say is that the sound in modern movies is great, but then when you go back to TV, it's kinda blah. In fact, unless you watch something with the volume up a lot, the internal speakers might match better in some cases. Music played via AirPlay 2 is good. Have to see if it's me, or the Arc that doesn't sound quite as good as the SONOS 5 for just playing tunes. I listen to mostly rock/classic rock/grunge and 50's country stuff. Good, not a replacement for a true stereo though. If the firmwares all match up

    Best purchase I have made in a really long time. It has such a modern look and the sound is incredible. The sorrowing system is amazing I would recommend this to anyone! Is not the cheapest obviously but it’s so worth the money!

    This thing is pricey no doubt and I had my reservations because of price alone. It’s a soundbar…and $800 soundbar. However, I went with it and half I did. I have mine paired with a pair of Sonos One SL’s and man does this thing sound incredible. This setup could not have been any faster or easier. The app is nearly perfect and is feature rich. This is coming from someone that also has a full system (AVR and separate speakers) in another room in our house. I’m now selling that gear to replace with more Sonos gear. I’m now hooked.

    The ARC

    Great sound bar, sleek and stylish, also sounds phenomenal. I previously owned the Nakamichi 9.2 soundbar with the dual subwoofer, I think this are the only sounders with dual sub. Voice reproduction: Sonos wins, much richer and clearer voice Immersiveness: Nakamichi wins, it has 4 surround speakers compared to Sonos 2, also you get atoms without having eARC, which the sons requires. Bass/Power: to me this is a draw, nakamichi louder and loose bass, Sonos much tighter bass looks: Sonos to me is sleeker and nicer looking Operations: Sonos hands down, updates through wifi, vs nakamichi which updates through USB and nakamichi has no app. Reliability: Owned the nakamichi for 2 years and it was terrible, Sonos owned for less than 1 month so time will tell. Overall: both great sounding systems, I will rate Sonos 8.5 out of 10 and Nakamichi 7 out of 10.

    It is very sleek and easy to connect to. I had it up and running 10 minutes after I opened the box. It also plays music very well, with a very crisp sound profile. The Sonos App is very user-friendly and easy to set up with.

    I originally had a Playbar. I upgraded to the arc when it was released in June. Music sounds clearer but the real benefit is the home cinema sound with Dolby Atmos. Sounds are immersive with sounds coming from all directions. Well worth the investment.

    I tried a lot of different sounders. this product won, hands down. the arc has a speech enhancement setting that makes tv speech very clear for me. secondly the sound produced is incredible and great for all inputs:tv,,dvd,ps5. I also ended up buying Sonos era100 surround speakers and they also work great. when I had problems setting everything up, their support team was fab. I used to have a high end receiver setup with high end definitive speakers. I really believe this setup sounds better.

    Pricey but worth every penny. Upgraded from a samsung center channel, sub and surround system. Sonos is 10 times better. Started off with the arc, then sub, then rear one SL’s. Need all for a complete sound but if money is tight the rears can wait. I havnt even use its full potential because i dont have eARC on my TV to get the full dolby atmos. That will come later. Playing music on it is night and day! I really wanted an actually hi fi system with towers but my living room is small and I know I would go all out with hi fi system and would put me in debt. This works for me and dont plan on upgrading anytime soon.
