    The Sonos Arc is an amazing sound bar. I purchased the bass as well as a set of SL One rear speakers and the sound is amazing. Highly recommend this set up for both the sound as well as mobility and ease of set up and use.

    Really hard to break down and buy this when looking at the prices of other soundbars. Worth the cost for the small form factor and how good it sounds - combine with the sub and it competes with much larger and more expensive sound options.

    I bought this LCR soundbar (Left, Center and Right) along with 2 Sonos One speakers as I wanted a simple surround sound for my living room. Skipped the sub and honestly don’t really need it unless you want ground shaking bass (if you can, get it though. Just wasn’t right for my apartment space). The adjustability from the Sonos app is a big plus when trying to be quieter but still immersive. Just make sure you have a TV with eARC so you get the full seamless experience!

    Better sound than any other system in similar categories. The highs and mid range are sweet and with the sub woofer the bass is just too good! I am so glad I upgraded when I had the chance!!

    As a stand alone soundbar this is just average. Sure the sound is crisp and clear but the Atmos effect and surround effect is a disappointment. Also the setup is not as easy as they say it was. No remote and all controls are handle on an app that needs to be connected to it wifi to work. However, once you start to spend more money on the parts to complete the system, it gets better and better. With the 2 SL speakers you get the surround effect but the Atmos is still lacking. With the sub it adds the punch to the lows and mids. Overall I think it's just way too expensive for the complete package and you can get a true Atmos setup for less. The lack of Atmos effect is probably the most disappointed missing feature with Sonos. Updates from Sonos are rare and they really don't fix or take audio to the next level.

    I initially purchased the Beam, which I thought would be adequate. The sound was good but not complete. I missed the additional sound which originally came from my right and left front speakers. I was able to return the Beam and exchange it for the Arc. Admittedly, there is a major price difference, but you get what you pay for. If a complete and wide range of sound is important to you, then you will definitely not be disappointed. I was amazed how the missing sound from right and left was filled in. I am thoroughly delighted with this investment in my listening pleasure.

    I read a lot of reviews from multiple sites and the Arc is the best soundbar out there. I had BestBuy install it for me so I cannot speak to ease/difficulty doing setup. I have been extremely happy with the sound quality and performance. I can't imagine how this product gets any better. If you're going to splurge on this awesome soundbar I highly recommend getting their subwoofer too!

    Great sound. You really should get the sub though. You can really tell how much is offloaded to the sub allowing even better mids and highs. Impressive atmos replication but it won’t be like real speakers all around you. Quality construction and looks. Easy to set up. Sonos could play better with Alexa.

    The Sonos Arc is the pinnacle of sound bars. It was purchased to enjoy the Dolby Atmos, which is truly a revolution in sound. Certainly recommend tuning for the room, the emersion of sound is immediately recognizable.

    Great sound from this bar. Replaced an outdated Samsung bar after it stopped working. This one gets much louder than we need. Has decent lows but we added the sub for good measure. Also eventually added rear surrounds.

    GREAT sound bar. I like that I can add the sub or the SL Ones as other channels in the future. This thing has 11 speakers in it and supports Dolby atmos! The only caveat I’ve noticed is with PlayStations. I’m unable to take advantage of Atmos without a delay in sound. I believe this to be the fault of the PlayStation. You can get around it with the Sonos Optical Adapter but then you’re disconnecting your sound bar every time you want to play your PlayStation. Sony and Sonos should work on a firmware update or something to fix audio delay. EVERY other device works flawlessly.

    Let me first say, I wear hearing aids. My goal with the purchase of the Surround Sound System (Arc Sound Bar, 2 SL Ones & SubWoofer was to make watching TV fun and entertaining again. The Sound Bar exceeded my expectations and I’m very glad I made that purchase. I’m disappointed sorry to say that the other items did not help. Clearly my hearing problems caused my disappointment, because my children could hear the background sounds and thought the additional speakers added to the TV watching! I bring this up to only point out the following, the sales & support staff at BestBuys went beyond trying to make it work for me. Its because of their interest and personal attention to my problem, that will bring be back again. The gladly took the woofer & remote speakers back. Again the Sonos Arc Sound Bar is an exceptional product.

    Sound is superb! Hook up was fairly easy. My main concern is when I turn the volume down at night the next morning when I turn on the TV the Sonos volume comes on at a much higher level. Not good if others are still sleeping. Also for energy conservation I wish there was a way to turn it off when leaving the house.

    We are putting in a custom medial wall. The Yamaha amp and speakers in the living room are going away. I wanted great sound and a bar that made understanding the voices in TV great for the wife. I had this sounder hooked up for a test in about 15 minutes. The sound is really good even without the sub. ( I will try to sneak that in in the future) As every review will tell you, a single sounder is no match for a surround with properly matched speakers but this is really good. Worth the money in my book. I love BOSE by the way but everyone says the phone app for Sonos is so much easier. We will be adding some additional speakers around the house, on the patio and possibly by the pool. Great you can just pick about any source of music at your fingertips and send it all or some of your Sonos speakers. The future of home music systems.
