    Sonos purchase

    Sonos system is magnificent. A high quality, flexible solution that works For multiple rooms. We bought the arc, large sub, two 300 speakers, and already had three 100’s. Wish I had considered wall outlets In places For wireless Sonos speakers When we built our house in 2007! Your team was knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and able to speak “ uninformed customer” language in a non pretentious way. Well done!

    Sound quality is too good, easy to install. This is our 1st Sonos product and we’re very happy to purchase Sonos. Sound quality is absolutely fantastic for movies and music plus it's an absolute doddle to set up

    This is my first entry into the Sonos ecosystem. I’m impressed. Excellent sound quality from a relatively small form factor. You can use your phone to do room EQ. It only has one HDMI input. This shouldn’t be a problem with newer eARC TVs but something to consider. Based on my experience with the Arc I do see more Sonos speakers in my future.

    Hands down, the best soundbar we have ever had. We replaced our Bose Soundtouch that was 10 years old, thought about getting another Bose, but this totally beat it out in every aspect. The sound is absolutely amazing, and it's so easy to use and set up. Well worth the money!

    awesome sound, sleek design, crisp music, easy to setup, only cons is that loses audio connection with the cable supplied, so you need to spend few more dollars on a better cable but overall is a great bar

    I went into Best Buy with the Bose 900 and sub already picked out. That was until i heard the ARC. Unbelievable sound and quality. Ended up with the ARC, mini sub, and 2 surround speakers for less than just the Bose and sub. It was a breeze to set up and eq to my loving room. I am completely happy with this ourchase and glad that I chose the Sonos. Do yourself a favor and if you are in the market for any other system, give the Sonos a listen.

    Extremely loud, I have it with a sub and two ones for surround sound and I never turn it past 40% volume. I actually have a max ag 65% to conserve the speakers and there is never any need to go louder than that.

    Amazing sound, even in a small area. The clarity it adds to the basic TV sound is crazy. Easily paired via app, easy to add additional components. Fun to listen to music through the speaker from Amazon Music or iMusic.

    great sound! Easy to set up.Only problem I had was it is too high. It blocked the signal to my Sony tv so I had to put it behind the tv.

    Sonos Arc and Sub Live up to their reputation

    I had never heard the Sonos Arc/Sub in person before ordering it, but I went ahead and took the plunge. I can't say enough how amazing this system sounds! The Trueplay feature really seems to work well too - I could hear an immediate improvement after the calibration, plus I'm noticing better surround sound the more I use it. As an example, a week or so ago my wife and I were watching a movie and we both thought her phone was ringing in the kitchen behind us. Nope - just the movie :-). I give this thing 5 Stars all the way around. I took 1 tick off under "Ease of Use" because you need to fiddle in the settings in the app to make adjustments - this is something my wife would never do or lots of other folks I imagine.

    Love this soundbar. You pay a premium with Sonos products, no doubt, but if you can afford it - I think it’s the best on the market. Love how seamless it all works together (I already had the Sub, and this paired up instantly), and how clean it all looks. I had a soundbar before this, and the levels were all over the place. I’d watch a movie and dialogue would be low, only to go crazy high on an explosion. None of that here - you can hear all dialogue, all action, all music at the right frequencies… and I feel like this thing is learning as it goes. Love it already, and can’t wait to pair it with the 2 Sonos Ones for true surround sound. Best soundbar I’ve ever owned.

    I give this 5 stars only because it sounded fantastic but couldn't get the surround sound effect due to having elevated 16 foot celings in my living room. I could have bought more speakers to add to the sound bar and sub but i didn't want to spend 4000.00+ to get the effect that was desired with Sonos. Had to return to store.

    We had the Sonos Beam 2 which already did a spectacular job, but the difference with the arc was mind blowing. The upward firing speakers added greater depth. The sound became fuller and felt 3 dimensional. Seamless setup with Sonos App and Apple Home. With the constant updates and ease of use, Sonos will be in our home indefinitely. Was one of the lucky ones who bought it when it was on sale. We already had the Sonos Sub 3 and 2 Sonos Ones. My next purchase will be 2 Fives to complete my home theater. The Beam went into the bedroom where it sounds amazing!
