Sounds fantastic with my new 85 inch Samsung television

Love it! I had the old Playbar which was great but only had optical input which didn’t support Atmos. Alot of the new movies, BlueRay and from streaming devices, have the Atmos sound. The old Playbar and this newer ARC do not support DTS! Some of my older BlueRay only had DTS. When I play these DTS movies with the ARC still no DTS but at least I get 2 channel stereo.The old Playbar had no sound! I have this ARC with the Sonos sub and two of the older Sonos speakers for the back surround. Audio is a hugh improvement with this setup.Had to turn the sub down as it was too overwhelming. This Sonos setup can not sound as good as my Home Theater setup in my man cave.

nice sounds, very easy to use, for big rooms, and fulfilling with a sub

I love the Sonos ecosystem. I pulled the trigger and got the Arc, sub and Era 300s. It’s an amazing upgrade in sound from what we previously had. Some really cool features and love the integration with our Apple devices.

I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile. Over the last 10 years, I have purchased components one by one, upgraded as needed and got to a point where I was very happy with my stereo system. I even had it hooked up to my TV and wasn’t really that interested in surround sound. That changed when I visited my friend who has a really good home theater setup. We were watching clips from a movie that I had watched at home and it just felt different. Basically, modern movies are mixed in such a way that if you are not watching it in surround sound, you are missing out on a lot. Anyway, fast forward a few months and I got a nice receiver and a center channel in order to upgrade my existing system to a home theater. Well, it worked well but for my smallish apartment, I just couldn’t fathom putting 2 more speakers to get a complete surround. Nevermind, 4 more for atmos. On top of that running the wires and trying to keep it concealed would be a pretty big hassle. So, I dropped the idea and enjoyed my 3.1 setup for a few months. It sounded really good but I knew I was still missing a little bit. I had heard sound bars before and I liked the idea of them for movies but I had never heard a sound bar before that sounded really good with music. And so I was uninterested. During the black friday sale, I saw Sonos premium bundle for a discount and bit the bullet. It was an impulse purchase with the idea that if I don’t like it, I can return it. I had also thought that if this works well, I will keep this for home theater and still keep my old speakers (Tekton Lore Reference) for music. Well, one day after work I began setup, downloaded the app, unboxed everything and was done in under an hour including all updates and setting up TruePlay. I turned on my TV, started Netflix and played Bullet Train (a movie I had watched recently). I was blown away by the performance. It sounded really good and the sound effects were jumping at me from all over the space (mostly behind me really). I immediately thought - this isn’t going back. Next I added my amazon music account to the sonos app. I have also used apps like Plex, Roon and Bluesound before so I’m familiar with music aggregator apps like this. But let me tell you that Sonos has the most versatile and complete app out there. There is support for every single music service you can think of. The switching between sources, searching for music and playing radio is probably the best I’ve come across any app. There are also decent settings that let you tweak speakers together or separately. But alll this hadn’t prepared me for how it would sound. I was again, blown away. I simply hadn’t expected music to sound so good through a sound bar. But it does. In fact, because of the satellite speakers, the sound stage is massive. It is way wider than my stereo setup. Now, does it sound as good as my Tektons with SVS sub driven by my Anthem MRX? No it doesn’t. But it’s honestly 90-95% there. The weakest link in my opinion is the sub. It’s a bit too boomy for music. Enabling Trueplay does tighten the bass response, but it’s still not close to the performance of a decent sealed sub. However, it wasn’t something you would notice in every song. Only some that call for it. I do hope they come out with maybe a higher spec sub in the future. I do think there is an appetite in the market for higher end wireless systems. The biggest thing I like by far about Sonos is that it just gets out of the way and lets you enjoy the music. You want to play music in different rooms using just your phone? You can do it. You want to use voice command? Sure. Don’t have a subscription and just want to play sonos radio? They got excellent selection. Honestly, the app is so good, I’ve been listening to more music than ever before. And I no longer really feel the need to turn on my bigger and more expensive system, which just goes to show how good this thing is. I’m probably going to get rid of all my other equipment and I think my future expansion will be under sonos eco-system. I feel like I’m discovering new music again after a long time.

This sound bar is amazing! It was super easy to setup and join my existing Sonos sound functions in our home. I can't recommend this sound bar enough to anyone who loves amazing sounding music and incredible TV/Movie/Gaming sound.

Better than B.... We switched from Bose to Sonos. We had a movie watch party and oh my words, the sound was amazing, beyond words. This sound bar bring the movie alive, You can hear and feel the action, emotion of the movie. Highly recommend.

Love this sound bar so much I bought more the next day. Heavy but sounds great

Great sound, sleek look! I was surprised at the quality difference!

Did tons of research to find a soundbar compatible with my Sony X90J as I read numerous reviews online that most are not compatible and causes audio connectivity issues. I didn’t expect to spend this much money on a soundbar, but I’ve had it for a couple months now and the sound is amazing and issue free. I plan on purchasing the sub to pair with it in the future.

Excellent sound bar. Easy to use. Geek squad did a great job hooking it up.

The Sonos arc is a great product, has excellent sound.

Pure awesome! Great sounds, looks great and easy to use

After reviewing several options, I’m so glad that I went with the Sonos Arc. It paired perfectly in my Great Room and provides amazing sound with the added Sonos subwoofer. Yes, it is an expensive setup, but you can’t deny the quality. Would definitely purchase again!

Outstanding sound and quality. Worth spending the extra money. The bass really stands out.

Very up to date and easy to use and the sound is awsome. Geek Squad installed in a few minutes.

Perfect soundbar that matched my aesthetic and provided sound quality i needed. Excellent recommendation by David

After having the Playbar for 5 years I decided to move that to my bedroom and get an Arc for the living room, along with the sub and rear speakers (One sl). The sound quality and interface are still beyond what I would expect out of a wireless HiFi system. I will always recommend Sonos systems to anyone who asks my opinion on home audio. People who have heard my setup have purchased Sonos for themselves afterwards.

Take the sound to a different level experience Sonos is the way to hear your tv

Excellent! Easy to set up, app is great and worked seamlessly and sound is exceptional!
