Excellent Starter Home Theatre System
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Happy with first Sonos product purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

One bedroom apartment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Arc Magic
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly love the Sonos Arc. Tremendous sound that is maximized by the Arc's unique ability to adapt to your room's acoustics. The Arc fills my room with crisp, clear sound whether I'm listening to music or watching a movie. Set up was easy and still learning to maximize all of the Arc's capabilities. I would definitely recommend the Arc.

Sound unlike before.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been a significant upgrade to my TV and movie experience. It's clearly an investment as it has an $800 price tag, and I will be buying the wall mount accessory which is $70. One item I learned is that the ARC knows when you all mount it as it has magnetic sensors. When it knows it's wall mounted, it reduces the bass that comes out of it. Will find out how much the decrease is the bass once I wall mount it.

Sonos FTW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound, super easy set-up. Really enough for a mid sized room but once you add the rears and the sub it sounds better than most real systems. I came from an older Onkyo with Paradigm speakers and sub and while this setup doesn’t quite have the depth or the base it’s ease of use makes up for it. My family hated all the settings and such and I was able to hook it up myself in no time.

Awesome quality sound !!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar. Love the quality sound when listening to a movie. Had a problem with voices coming through to the front of the sound during action scenes with my old LG SJ04Y. But with the Sonos Arc, voices became loud and clear when I watched the same movie again using the Sonos Arc. Some people complained about not enough options for inputs and no Bluetooth, but for me, I didn't need all that so it is perfect for me. Now, the Sonos app to set up the soundbar to the TV worked great and seamlessly with my Android S21 Ultra 5G. But to calibrate it to your room for optimum sound quality and immersive surround sound, you must use an IOS device. Luckily my wife has an iPhone. I hope they allow an Android to work with their soundbar sometime in the near future, because if my wife didn't have an iPhone, I would not have purchased this, so I'm sure there are other purchases out there that they are losing for this reason. With all that being said, the calibration is an easy process, and after listening to something before the calibration, then doing the calibration, and listening again, there is definitely a difference in the quality of sound. So I can only wonder if for some of the negative reviews regarding sound was because they did not calibrate it to their room. I would definitely recommend the Sonos Arc, but only if you have a means of using an IOS device to calibrate your sound because that is what makes it more awesome.

his is the best sounding soundbar end of story
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best. This is the best sounding soundbar end of story. its so good two friends could not believe the sound, so they both purchased one. The build quality is excellent and setup is easy. If you're looking for ATMOS and sound that is going to show off your 4K tv than stop looking and buy a Sonos Arc. There really is no decision, it's that good.

Skeptical but impressed.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great sound but has some flaws.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Spendy but if you want to afford it---amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than the first Sonos sound bar. Upward projection and much better midrange. I have trouble distinguishing dialogue on the TV audio. I use a play 1 next to 'my spot' on the couch. This works. The Arc is crystal clear and the second speaker unnecessary. We have 15 foot ceilings and the Arc is still very clear. Music is wonderful and the sound of a movie...rocking. Set up is painless with Samsung smart TV. Connection to Android is also simplified from original.

Buy it you wont regret it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to connect, and the sound is awesome on movie. Specially with the Dolby Atmos capability. But when it come's to music I still like the Bose soundbar. But when it come's to the bass the Sonos Arc is way more bass than Bose 700. I know because I bought the Bose 700 first but I return it and got the arc instead. Over all if your looking for a better movie sound and Voice assistant capable, the Sonos Arc is better, specially when you pair it with the Sonos one SL.

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super easy to setup. I’m not the most tech savvy person and in a couple minutes I had the Arc starting my car, locking the front door, and turning on the lights. Should quality is extremely good when paired with the Sonos floor sub. I think the sub is a must. For anyone thinking of just buying the Arc without the sub, it’s expensive, but well worth it.

Well Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best soundbar on market currently
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a more costly LG bar before this with Atmos, and returned it for this. Good choice. You get clear, loud, articulate sound and plenty of bass from the bar alone. Integrates well with TV and other connected devices. Just make sure you have a current gen TV with an HDMI eARC port, otherwise you won’t get the best performance. Oh, and make sure you fully tune the Arc with the Sonos app, once you do that it isn’t far off from a movie theatre experience in your home. All from a single sound bar.

Sonos Arc + Sonos ecosystem is the best value!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sonos Arc excels and lives up to all its hype. We recently purchased an 65" LG OLED CX TV and initially wanted to augment its built in mini Dolby Atmos speakers with just an inexpensive sound bar. But based on BestBuy sales person we decided to get a bit more ambitious to get a LG SN9YG sound bar with two wireless surround speakers. But then we stumbled into Sonos Arc glowing reviews and we immediately returned our LG speaker bar system and bought a Sonos Arc. Though Sonos Arc by itself is better than many sound bars with dedicated subwoofers, we also bought a Sonos Sub and two One SLs. And the additional oomph from these components is worth the extra fun. Setup was a breeze too. Though the LG sound bar was loud, Sonos Arc excels in delivering clear and crisp sound at every volume level. Sure it is expensive (the biggest cost diff comes from the additional cost of the Sub) but once people get to know the Sonos platform plug and play ecosystem...they will get a sense of the long term value of their investment. No other sound bar system provides this ecosystem value enhanced by regular software updates. And it is important to note that people can add the Sub and 2 SLs at their own pace and grow the system. With the latest software update, Sonos Arc system allows to add a second Sub too if they even want more oomph :). BestBuy customer service, both in the store and online, was excellent too and made the entire purchase experience a pleasant one.
