No regrets, I got this at an amazing deal before Christmas. Cheapest it's ever been. This sound bar paired with it's subwoofer is an absolute beast. Highly recommend. The sound quality is incredible and i love that you can build/add to it as you wish. It straight up sounds like a home theater. Simple and quick to set up up. It's has Bluetooth capability but it's main connection is through Wi-Fi. You can have multiple Sonos speakers and control each one simultaneously or individually through the phone app - Meaning you can have your entire househole/outdoor playing the exact same thing at equal or different volumes or have each one playing something different at the exact same time. Superb.

A spectacular SONOS ARC system, compatible with SAMSUNG 85 IN SMART TV. A concert area, real unique sounds. Very happy, a great experience! GOOD BUSINESS.

I was on the fence with the Sonos Arc and Bose 900 soundbars. I finally decided to move forward with the Sonos Arc because the sound was very distinct coupled with the Sub (Gen 3). There was a nice balance between the highs and the lows. From movies to just playing songs through Spotify or Tidal, the Arc delivers amazing quality. It was fairly easy to set up through the app and allows for tweaking of the equalizer within the app. For the price, Sonos is the way to go!

Absolutely amazing room filling and full bodied sound especially when coupled even with the smaller sub. Elevated my music listening and movie watching experience 10-fold from what I had before. A must have if you want to invest in immersive rich sound for your TV or everyday music listening sessions. No cons at all for me an year later.

Great sound and functionality of the speaker and the Sonos app. I can't wait eventually to get the sub woofer and the rear speakers to complete the setup! Best Buy is awesome as well, really consumer oriented and efficient - I'm glad to see the store gets busy, we don't want Amazon taking over the world.

I purchased the Arc and the Sub for my downstairs OLED, and I've been very pleased with the performance. My LG remote natively controls the soundbar, though most Sonos functionality is controlled through my phone. Setup was easy, and the tips feature was very useful. I was able to link my Apple Music acct and can turn on my favorite music from anywhere in the house.
Sounds great and passes the wife’s aesthetic test.

This is a pricey soundbar, but you can’t beat the sound quality. Especially when paired with the other Sonos speakers. It sounds incredible, looks great, and the setup is INCREDIBLY easy. Set it up with the frame tv and it works great. I love the sound and my wife loves the look. It’s a win-win.

Sonos Arc, a phenomenal soundbar

I recently purchased the Sonos Arc to replace a JBL bar 5.1 soundbar that I was having nothing but problems with. First of all, even without satellite speakers the Arc's sound quality is amazing. I always purchase high end, flagship model tv's but have a habit for cheaping out on the audio. I have a good surround sound system in my living room, but this sound bar was meant for my master bedroom, which is where I end up watching the majority of TV and movies. Set up was a breeze, I got two stands for my satellite speakers and with a quick download of the app and few quick instructions followed, the soundbar was configured to the subwoofer and satellite speakers.
The sound quality out of the Arc is amazing. This system brought depth to my TV and movies that the JBL bar 5.1 just couldn't compete with. I would hope so, considering the entire 2.1 setup costs around $2k. While the bar 5.1 was about $700. This unit does great job of pickup up and playing miss, highs and lows. The mode that focuses on spoken dialogue is amazing as well, many times while watching action movies, the dialogue gets drowned out by bangs and explosions. All I can say is, if you're on the fence about grabbing one of these set ups, don't hesitate. It was worth every dollar, I wish I would have made the purchase sooner.

I bought this today to pair with my LG G4 65" OLED EVO TV from Best Buy. Pairing was easy. Sound (without the subwoofer, which i didn't buy) perfectly paired with my LG OLED G4. Great bass and audio in Dolby Atmos were very clear. I watched Citadel on Amazon. Sounds were clear and loud. You'll be amazed. Highly recommended!

Excellent sound and bass for TV and music especially. I have a newer Sony TV with an ARC HDMI connection so setup was insanely easy. The Sonos app is snappy and intuitive supporting just about every streaming service you can think of. Great, great product.

I’ve been a Sonos fan for many years. We’ve been using a playbase with our 55” tv for about 8 years. When we upgraded to a new 75” tv we had to install it on another wall. There was no place to put the Playbase. Thank God! The Arc playbar along with our existing sub woofer & play one’s is a significant improvement. Using an Apple TV 4K we can get Dolby Atmos sound and it will blow you away! Sonos is not the cheep option by any metric but it is the plug and play, no wires (except for power) way to go!!

It sounds amazing with the whole Sonos set! It's easy to set up and it has a lot of convenient features to use. It's totally customizable, from adding surround speakers to adding a subwoofer for more effect. It's pricey, but definitely worth it!

The more I hear the ARC the more I am impressed with its deep rich immersive sound. I love this addition to my living room TV. I have a home theater system so I wanted something for this television I would enjoy listening to without the required speakers hanging on the walls or taking up space on the floor. This fit the bill and was worth the expensive price tag. It has plenty of bass for movies even without the added subwoofer. I’ve owned this for over 9 months before writing this review. Highly recommend!

Sonos Arc soundbar is best in class. Easy to mount and set up, simple user interface with the Sonos App, and most importantly, incredible sound. I hooked it up through the eArc port on my television, and the lossless sound is perfectly synced to all the programs. There is a clear quality difference in listening to something on regular cable television vs. something streamed in Dolby Atmos. Also, the seamless Airplay compatibility allows user to play music from anywhere in the house. The soundbar is pricey, but you won't be disappointed.

My first and Best Sound Bar. I set up 5.1 with Sub Gen 3 and 2 One SLs. It was awesome sound and Atmos gives 5.1.2. Only thing is price. Don't know if we could get much louder and better sound than sonos if we built on own with a decent receiver. Depending on room you may have to customize Bass and surround settings.

This is truly a phenomenal sound bar. I appreciate bass so I paired it with a Sonos Sub (full size). Cinematic experiences and music are incredible. Still sounds good while walking through the house, but sound is definitely best right in front of it. I used the Sonos app to pair it with the Sonos Move 2 outside so I could have the same music playing inside and outside and it sounds GREAT.

I read one bad review about the bass getting weird but I have not had that problem under any situation. Music, Movies or video games. At first I thought this sounds just like the PlayBar but as I turned up the volume and listened a little closer you can hear a significant difference in quality. The Arc is much much louder and the clarity is amazing.
Dolby atoms is amazing and it sounds better than a movie theater. Still the PlayBar sounded very good. I nos have Sonos speakers in every room of my house. I’ve purchased and tried them all and Sonos is what I went with.
Unless I have this bass issue I’m keeping it.

When I moved to a new house, I didn’t want to run wire for my deftech set but still wanted better sound than what my TV alone offered. I expected it to be a big downgrade from a full 5.1 set up but it’s much closer than I thought. I though thought I would eventually want a pair of ones for surrounds but the way it bounces sound around the room has me convinced they are not necessary. I purchased the sub with the arc and for me it’s a must though it still sounds good without.
