This Soundbar is Awesome! We have a Klipsch 7.1 surround sound system in our front room.My wife wanted the same sound in our bedroom when she streams her movies.It sounds Awesome and I didn't get a sub,it's not needed.But if you had one I can see that it would sound similar to our 7.1

The Sonos Arc is awesome when you have equipment that can take advantage of Dolby ATMOS! The sound flys around the entire room! The only issue I have with the Sonos Arc is that it only has one HDMI port that you have to use to connect to your HDMI eArc/Arc port on your TV. If you don’t have an eArc port the best you will get is Dolby Digital+ which is just shy of Dolby ATMOS quality. This is the case for me right now. If the Sonos Arc had a second HDMI port I could connect my 4K Apple TV directly to it which would allow me to get Dolby Digital+, I am limited to Dolby Digital only via the AppleTV right now.

We had issues with clarity with our old soundbar. The Sonos Arc has resolved those issues and fits nicely on the Sanus TV/Soundbar mount we purchased. Sound is clear and crisp.

This thing is impressive- takes care of center, left, and right front speakers in theater setup. Sound quality is impressive and music with the sub is awesome. EASY set up, no wires going everywhere

Purchased the Sonos Beam and it sounded like it, sound was narrow and flat. Upgraded to the Arc, it has a much wider sound stage and fuller bass response as it has twice the drivers. I have the Arc paired with Ikea Symfonisk rear speakers hacked with a high level input to a 12in MTX home theater sub, skipping the Sonos sub gen3 for now. Unfortunately Sonos doesn't have an additional HDMI input to take advantage of Dolby Atmos so I upgraded to the Sony 65 A8H that has the necessary e-Arc HDMI port. Atmos is available on select titles within a few streaming services ie Space Force on Netflix but Schitt's Creeks same service does not produce Atmos. Overall the soundbar sounds great but don't let the hype fool you its a single soundbar and doesn't provide enough standalone for my liking and for the price you could get more like the Vizio Elevate full surround 5.1.4 which has excessive inputs and could produce Atmos on an older TV with compatible device such as Nvidia-SHIELD. I'll keep the Arc as it was what I wanted but the full package is just so dàmn expensive.

Great sound quality, functionality and user friendly. Totally recommend.

Well opened the huge box.. no remote control? On the pricey side. Easy hookup, sounds radiates up well to fill the room with robust sound also when watching tv voices very clear. Replaced a Bose 700 sound bar …. And so far very pleased- definitely an improvement App easy to work with… easily programmed tv remote Be sure you have plenty of room this is a large speaker - I’m using with a 55 inch tv and speaker is as long as the tv.

Easy setup and integration with Sony TV. Connects seamlessly and sound is perfect for our needs! Added the sub which really adds to the sound.

So, I know all the reviews out there have touted the Sonos ARC as one of the best, but the cost was a little higher than most, and I thought that was just the "Sonos" tax...you know, what you have to pay for the name brand and whatnot. I was wrong. It is def worth the extra cost over the mid to lower range of soundbars. I bought the yamaha one before this, and thought it sounded fine, but a little thin throughout the mid range. Maybe almost a bit "tin-y". So, my wife convinced me to upgrade and get this instead. I'm so happy she did. It really fills the room with sound and you can feel the warmth of the sound cascade down. This is true with TV and movie sounds, but especially true when playing music. Even if you think that it might be a jump up from those that are highly rated in the $200-300 range, but let me tell you, it will be worth every cent to do so. I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

The Sonos Arc is a good Soundbar. Is it worth the price..well that is up to each individual. The setup is super easy. Instructions are clearly written. The unit is heavy and you could hurt someone with it. The build quality is great! Prior to purchase you need to evaluate the following: 1) Does your TV have Atmos Capability? If it doesn't you will NOT get the full experience of the soundbar and you will wonder why you spent so much money. My Samsung TV had Atmos Capability so I am good. A lot of people who negatively review the Arc did not evaluate their current TV prior to purchase. If you have a soundbar currently connected to your TV, highly recommend you remove it and reset TV sound settings prior to installing the Arc. Why? Your TV, especially, if Samsung will transfer the settings of your current soundbar to the Arc causing you issues with the Sonos App settings. My issue with the soundbar is that while moving between TV channels the sound fluctuates high / low. I can't find a way to stabilize via the App or TV settings. Honestly I am not sure whether Samsung, AT&T Uverse or Sonos should be blamed. My TV did manage the fluctuations in TV Channel volume prior to the soundbar installation.

What a great sound bar, bought different ones in the past , this one has worked the best for my open concept room. The set up was easy and even made it sound better than just out of the box .

Purchased open box excellent and came in original packaging and like new. Set up was relatively easy, sound is amazing.

The sound quality of this sound bar is magnificent, but the size was too big for my available spa. I returned it and took home the Beam.

If you’ve been on the fence about Atmos soundbars and this new model by Sonos, time to get off the fence and plunge in. This particular sound bar was an upgrade from a much older one. It has been a very dramatic change and has enhanced our viewing and listening pleasure. As others have mentioned, it comes packaged very nicely-in fact it is probably the nicest and most functional packaging I’ve experienced. Save the box unless you are sure you won’t be moving anytime soon. Hookup was straight forward and easy. There is an app for your device which adds some useful functionality in terms of “tuning” the device to your particular needs-such as listening at night or using a setting that emphasizes voice. The Atmos AI features are very interesting and they add another dimension to listening. Go to YouTube and find some of the demos and you will get an idea of capability. I do not have the sub-yet. But it works and sounds great without it.

The ARC has a sleek, solid look and performance is outstanding with Alexa's built in - we hare tapping into it to sound living room TV and in-ceiling speaker system, as well as, drives our outdoor patio in-ceiling speakers and entertainment! Solid purchase!

I think the "multidirectional projection" is overstated. It's a great soundbar but the upper, left and right projected sound is not detectable to me. My room may not be large enough but I don't detect them. Dialog is better than the old soundbar model but, again, A B testing isn't possible. As a long time Sonos customer (have 10 pieces various models over 6 years) I do think it's overpriced though. Sonos "play 5" and "Sub" are the most impressive products for their respective size. I don't have 2 Subs but I'd like to try it someday perhaps for the omnidirectional loading. A turntable and a pair of play 5's are very respectable audiofile listening setup. Simple and relatively inexpensive, no pre amp or amp needed.

Easiest setup I have ever experienced with a soundbar. The sound is great with music and loud movies. The dialog volume seems to be a little low even after the balancing and tuning with the app. Paired with a sub and it makes more than enough noise for our living room.

Insane sound. Expensive but worth it. Took me no time to hook it up. My home sounds like a movie theater.

Very impressed, ease of set up and sound is great. No issues of disconnecting after 2 months, so would buy again- two thumbs UP!

unreal sound. Easy to set up and use on all devices. Best sound bar for tv and music by far
