From the minute I unpacked it I was excited to see what this unit (it's a beast!) could deliver.... Easy to install, really straight forward instructions. Once I had it hooked up to the TV, I got to wave my phone around while the speaker tuned itself to my room, all the while getting giddy as this thing beeped and bonged at me.... How good could it be? PERFECT!... A month in and I'm yet to find a fault, it's great with sport, movies, TV shows and music. I've marveled at how it's never been "too loud" that's how sweet the quality is!

This soundbar sounds really good without a sub. There is a decent amount of bass but nothing to right home about but better than most stand alone soundbars. Haven't had any disconnect issues or voice delays. The price is what may be the problem because in my opinion its not worth the money when you add the whole system which puts you at around $2000 but when you hear it all together it sounds great but for the money you can build a nice home theater but if you want just the soundbar (which will not be enough) and space is limited this is the best I have heard without a sub...

This is by far the best purchase I’ve made in awhile! This soundbar is the most amazing sound bar I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned quite a few! It has great quality crisp sound and bass and it is a perfect match with my new sony A8H oled tv! I paired the Sonos arc with the Sonos gen 3 sub and let me tell you it is a awesome experience to watch movies and tv with this set up! The arc alone is great but the arc with the gen 3 sub is amazing! The quality in sound blows my mind! It is pricey but this is one item that I can honestly say you get what you pay for!

Best sound bar I’ve ever purchased, sounds is amazing I have it paired to 2 Sonos play 1s as surround sound

Purchased this sound bar for my husband for Christmas…Ofcourse he couldn’t wait to open it; he is very pleased with the sound that Sono makes.

When I got the Sonos Arc, I instantly opened and set it up, excited for what it had to offer. This is after all, an $800 soundbar and supposedly the best there is. I tested a few tracks and movies and was BLOWN away by how good it sounded, crystal clear audio which was booming in volume. I've watched several movies recently and the volume and clarity is incredible. Only thing I was a little bit disappointed in was the Dolby Atmos. If you are thinking this is a good substitute for a full surround sound setup, look elsewhere. For a standalone soundbar though, its an incredible device.

The sound quality is extraordinarily remarkable, and the setup is quite straightforward. Having and experiencing Dolby Atmos is indeed a delightful necessity.

I ordered this on 8/24 and received it 9/18. It took a while but I finally got it. $800 isn't chump change but to get a soundbar of this quality at this price, its a great value assuming your budget can handle it. This competes with high end soundbars. The sound took me some time to get right. You really want to get yourself an iPhone (whether its yours or a buddies), and setup Truplay. It does make a difference. You'll be waving your phone around the room which looks a little funny but the results are good. There's limited EQ adjustment, you only get to adjust Bass and Treble. There is no Mid or in between frequency adjustments. The bass on the soundbar itself is just adequate. Not room thumping. Definitely an improvement over typical TV speakers. I have an LG CX OLED which has pretty decent sound by itself but this soundbar is a clear upgrade. If you're kind of a bass head, not even, if you want to really feel your sound, then you'll want to do something about it. Your options are limited to the Sonos ecosystem which gets expensive. $700 for a sub was difficult to part with. I ended up doing it but another option is to get two Play 5 speakers (which would be about $800-1000) and use them as rear surrounds without a sub. Believe it or not, the Play 5's have very good bass performance and can work just about as good without the dedicated sub. Of course, I didn't have that foresight and I bought the Arc first. Then the Sub. Then a pair of Ikea Symfonicks ($99ea + $20ea for the wall mount, which also make nice shelves at the same time). All in thats about $1740, If I had just got the Arc with 2 Play 5's, I could have been all in at $1600 since you can find the Play 5's at a slight discount. You can add the sub later for serious room thumping sound. Another thing to consider is the size of the Play 5 speakers and whether you want two speakers of that size behind you. But all the configuration options is part of the beauty of the Sonos system. You don't have to get everything all at once. You can add as you go along. Also the popularity of the Sonos keeps the resale value in the used market pretty high. Try that with the high end LG or Samsung soundbars. I do recommend getting the rear surrounds before the Sub no matter which rear surrounds speakers you decide to get. The rear surrounds make a bigger difference to me then the extra bass with the sub. Bottom line: if you're looking at an Atmos soundbar at this price range, I think you'll be happy with the product. I'm very happy with it.

This thing is a total game changer. I previously worked as an audio engineer for 7 years… needless to say I’m a bit particular about sound in general. The Sonos Arc brings clarity unlike anything I’ve heard in a home entertainment system. Because I’m an audio snob, we added the Sonos Subwoofer to really round out the low end, however, the Arc alone has solid low end for a small room (or a listener who is not concerned with booming low end). All in all, this is one of my favorite purchases and upgrades to our living room.

Love the Sonos arc sound quality is great pairs so easily with my TV. Apple air play sounds great as well. Very pleased with the product. The sleek design makes it very handsome to look at and admire. 100% will recommend to friends and family.

Amazing sound but sometimes it is a real pain to keep connected. Occasionally I will turn on the tv and the soundbar does nothing. So I have to spend time reconnecting it. Once I even had to remove and reinstall it through the app. Talk about a buzzkill. Need to do better on that front Sonos. Might still be the best option but far from perfect.

My old reciever went out shortly before I moved to a new house. After much research, my larger living room would have needed another receiver anyway. Upon deciding to build my own speakers for my new system, I needed a temporary solution because the stock TV speakers were not cutting it. My poor ears... I purchased this w/2 rear Sonos 1s and the gen. 3 Sub however, I tested the sound bar alone before syncing the rear speakers and sub. Easiest set up ever and I can now enjoy decent surround sound until my new speakers are built and my receiver is replaced. Definitely worth it for people who don't want to have to deal with installing a wired surround sound system. While the directional speakers are decent at the side surround channels the additional Sonos 1s will bring the rear channels to life. Bass is decent enough until you can add a dedicated sub. I will definitely keep this system and move it to my game room after my new system is completed.

Best on the market. Absolutely amazing sound. Can definitely hear the height from the Dolby Atmos.

Really love this soundbar from Sonos. We went with the white colored model, since it is sitting on a white mantel. The packaging was outstanding. It was fairly easy to set up and get connected. The power cord is a little hard to push in to the back of the device. You really have to press hard. The sound quality is great for TV and pretty good for music. It does help to use the Trueplay Tuning feature and tune the device for your room and environment.

It’s amazing how much this changed the game. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and wanted something that could do Atmos and just sound amazing I’m general. This does that and even has great bass without disturbing my neighbors …. Though I am look at the sub mini for that extra kick haha. The arc is a little pricy but unfortunately in electronics you usually do get what you pay for.

I was in the market for a new surround system when my aging Onkyo system finally failed. I got this soundbar as the base to the Sonos ultimate setup. Having come from a traditional 5.1 setup I was skeptical that this would produce the same immersive setup. The main driver for me moving to Sonos was to eliminate wires since the builders would not run them for me when my house was built and having vaulted ceilings made running them myself more challenging. I initially just connected this soundbar and was amazed at how well it performed. Once I connected the bar to the Sonos Sub and Era300s I was blown away. The Trueplay setup creates a virtual diagram of the room and configures the system for your environment. Having vaulted ceilings impacts the units ability to produce height effects via Atmos but with an adjustment in my placement I am still able to get some of those effects. When they hit, it is a thing of beauty. Overall I am very impressed with this setup and will continue to buy Sonos in the future.

We love this soundbar! It is a great improvement over the Bose that we purchased first and returned when it malfunctioned. The sound is great but the features are even better. It has built in voice activation that allows you to just say "Sonos, mute" when the phone rings or "Sonos, increase the volume", etc. And, it has a number of adjustments like nighttime sound (diminishes the big booms so kids can sleep) or dialogue enhancement that makes dialogue more clear and also the ability to adjust the sound to personal preferences. The features alone make this soundbar so worth it. I am now a big Sonos fan!!

I bought this in preparation for upgrading my TV and gaming system. The Arc by itself is great. The arc is easy enough to use and great sound that my wife streams her music through it vs using her portable JBL speaker. Only complaint is having to use wifi instead of Bluetooth.

Hands down beat sound bar on the market, including all the accessories. It was a breeze to set up and the sound is remarkable. Will never use another company, ao long as the quality of Sonos is here to stay. You will not be disappointed if you purchase any part kf the system! Would definielty buy again!

This is a premium sounds bar, it was easy to set up and super easy to use the app. Even with the bass and treble set at default its got some power to it, then with the levels increased and maxed out its top tier sound. The apps you can connect and use directly from the Sonos app is impressive.
