Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great value coming from a simple soundbar with wonderful clarity at the price range. Misses some bass but that’s what a sub is for! My old soundbar would randomly disconnect and was very frustrating and I had to turn it on with its own remote but this soundbar automatically comes on and does blast your ears out which is a nice feature!

Great sound and easy setup makes this Sonos appealing. Loving it so far.

I bought this sound bar on its own to replace an outdated surround system for a smaller living room area. It was easy to set up to include downloading the Sonos App. The overall sound and clarity especially with the voice enhancement mode are excellent. But that is what I expected for the premium price. I have not added a sub yet or surround speakers as I’m waiting for a smaller model of the subwoofer and the ikea compatible speakers to come in stock. If you have the money to spend for a smaller space and really only need the sound bar this is a decent purchase even if it never goes on sale.

I switched from a traditional surround sound system to the sound bar. Only having the bar doesn’t give the feel of hearing the sounds behind you, but that can be fixed with extra speakers. The sound quality is wonderful. Setup was the easiest part. One power cord, and one HDMI plugged into the ARC port of the TV, and everything comes out through it.

Sonos Arc. Everything I had hoped it would be... and more! Excellent sound for every possible use! Music! Movies! Videos! Some reviews have mentioned difficulties setting up the Arc. I don’t know why. It was set up and ready to go in less than 15 minutes. You will not be disappointed. And this is without the sub woofer or surround speakers.

I had started with a receiver and speakers, every one I talked to said even a cheap receiver based surround beats a sound bar 10 out of 10 times. I replaced my tv and figured I would try the arc and woofer for a test run. First of all getting rid of the receiver and speakers It opened up the space and literally I had a 3ft pile of wires on the floor. Set up was a breeze, and the sound was outstanding. I returned a few weeks later and got the Era100 surrounds and they really completed the system. As far as I am concerned it is now 9 out of 10 times. I am very happy with the look, sound, and functionality of the whole kit.

Sounds amazing! Easy to set up and use. Added some surrounds and it is best

Let me tell you, there’s a reason why this soundbar is getting so many good reviews. It’s absolutely amazing. If you have an eARC compatible tv, this soundbar is the soundbar to beat. The bass is mind blowing without the subwoofer, even though I will be getting the subwoofer sometime next year. Dolby Atmos is very convincing. If you’re on the fence about purchasing, just do it! Highly recommend

My husband and I bought a new home and we wanted to make our own home theatre. We have to say that one of the best things that we ever bought was this Sono Arc Soundbar. When we are watching a movie, you feel like you are inside the movie experiencing all the great sounds. It is super easy to install and you can manage the sound from you own phone by downloading the sono app. We love our Sono Arc Soundbar!

This sound bar is amazing! It sounds like I have a full surround system. The bass is off the charts!

Had this for about a month, and have had zero issues with setup or reliability to date, connected to a 2018 Samsung Q60R. My connection is HDMI ARC and wired Ethernet. I chose this bar based upon major factors including an open room layout that wouldn’t support a traditional surround system, the ability to listen to music from streaming services, and iPhone AirPlay connectivity. The ARC is my first Sonos product, although my son in law has several of their products. The sound produced is reasonable to me, but of course, does not compare to the 9.1 system I run in the basement. It definitely would benefit from a sub, but I’m hesitant to spring the $700 on the Sonos sub which is an improvement, but not 7 bills worth. Personally I’d like them to provide a wireless adapter so I could hook up the sub of my choice. Surround effects are subtle but would most definitely improve if my room could accommodate the wireless surrounds that Sonos also makes. Alas, my room and wife would object to them placed on the dining room table and kitchen counter. The Sonos app allows complete control over the product, is easy to use, and allows for tuning the system with my iPhone. Bottom line: This bar worked best for my situation, but I was spending some of my grandchildren’s inheritance! Others might find the price level too high and there are less expensive alternatives available. To my ears this Arc bar sounded best, but if you are used to a dedicated surround system or can accommodate additional speakers, give serious consideration to the JBL with included removable rear surrounds!

I did a bunch of research and decided on the ARC. Glad I did. It's pretty amazing. All sound is CRYSTAL clear. If you're in the market for a premium Soundbar, this is it. I paired this with the sub, and 2 SL Ones. I don't think my neighbors appreciate it, but my family sure does. Everyone that comes over raves about the sound depth and quality. It's EASY to set up on your own.... BUY THIS ONE....

Disclaimer: I used to work for Magnolia/Best Buy back in the day. Ive sold hundreds of these Sonos ARC sound bars and complete Sonos systems to customers and repeat customers. At my own home I use a Sonos 5.1.2.2(arc height) system for my living room and have several sonos Play ones around the home. The Sonos ARC is great value for what you get and incredibly easy to set up. I do recommend pairing it with at least a gen 2 or 3 subwoofer or the new sub mini to help bring out the bass.  The height speakers are OK obviously not as good as real height speakers.  The Sonos app over the years has gone through a lot of changes, but I think now it’s in a good spot, it is easy to use and easy to connect all of your Sonos products in your home and control the volume level through the app. 

This is a Great sound bar ! I was not sure I would like a sound bar coming from always had receivers and full surround speaker set ups in the past. I was pleasantly surprised! The arc by it self sounds real good BUT I added the sub gen 3 and the ones for the rear effects, WOW ! Easy set up! One hdmi cable, get the app as easy as it gets !! If you’re on the fence just DO IT !

superb sound capability and easy to setup and operate

Great sound and so easy to set up. I had an AV receiver with full surround speakers. I replaced that with this and a subwoofer. Sounds is superior and so easy to set up.

An absolutely amazing sound and super easy to set up. My wife and I use it daily for both the tv and Alexa.... wish I had only bought it sooner.

Oof. Here we go.. The sound is absolutely phenomenal. The separation of every single sound is perfect. You can hear a pin drop behind a massive explosion. The music quality is also amazing. Dolby Atmos is the most impressive you’ll get with a sound bar. Its nothing to write home about, but thats expected from just ONE speaker bundle. It is the best sound I’ve ever heard, even in a theatre. Value for money, if you can afford it is 10/10. If money is a problem the Sonos Beam is also very good. I wouldnt recommend it unless you really want great sound, or have 800 lying around. Overall, I’d buy it again. HOWEVER DO NOT BUY if you are a gamer, with a low end tv. I had a Samsung Q60T and in game mode there was a sound delay. It wasnt terrible but in quick times things its distracting. I would recommend at least 800+ dollar tv to use with this soundbar. Sonos and whomever tv company will tell you it will work but it wont. (Not the soundbars fault) If you have a good tv, and money lying around, go for it!

I bought the ARC as well as the sub-woofer and 2 SONOS 1's for our family room. My TV is a 2013 model and only has the ARC output and not the eARC so I'm not able to take advantage of the ATMOS sound, but the ARC still provides great sound. I think the sub-woofer is probably a must if you want the best sound. My wife and I are very pleased with the SONOS system. It was hard to give up on the old 1980 analog receiver and our YAMAHA surround sound system, but the SONOS system is a great replacement. My wife is any man's dream when it comes to vehicles and electronics. She talked me into buying a MOVE also and I've been back to Best Buy now for 4 more SONOS 1's! We have them all over the house. Not maybe necessary with having the MOVE, but now I can walk throughout the house with music playing and enjoy the wonderful sound of the SONOS system!

I upgraded to the Sonos Arc from a Bose soundbar. I also added a Sonos 1, a 5 and a Sonos Move. The sound is great. The speakers work together, and don't overwhelm you. There is excellent separation of the speakers. The Sonos software is intuitive and easy to understand and use. I am so glad I made the switch.
