    I'm super invested in the Sonos ecosystem and have play 1s, 5s, playbar, and the arc. I absolutely love all of our Sonos products, and this is definitely the most impressive. Super easy setup and sound quality is amazing. I know it's an investment, but the quality is amazing.

    Our Best Buy representative recommended this sound bar to us, and wow, are we impressed. It sounds fantastic. But it also looks good and was easy to set up. He warned me though, that this was a "gateway" speaker. I am so happy I am already looking to add to my Sonos speaker with more Sonos speakers.

    Best sonos sound bar for open concept living space

    I originally bought the beam, 2 one SL’s, and sub mini (when it came out) for my open concept living room with a 14’ vaulted ceiling and was thrilled with it over the LG soundbar/subwoofer. However, after an LG WebOS update my audio changed to pcm 7.1.4 which messed up the surround sound and made the one SL’s over power the beam. Plus the sound wasn’t as loud as it was in the past. Some research mentions that the arc would help solve some of the current’s issue so when I saw an open box arc for around $723, I scooped it up. I tested Top Gun and Stranger Things Season 4 episode 2. I could most definitely tell a difference as the sound felt like it was truly above and around me. While the beam did a good job, I learned it wasn’t idea for my space and will put it in a bedroom.

    I've had several Sonos speakers throughout the house including the first generation soundbar, all of which are great. The new soundbar is smaller and lighter, but still has great sound quality. i don't know why anyone would bother putting wires in their ceilings and walls for sound anymore, Sonos and this soundbar are awesonme!

    I have had this sound bar for a few weeks. It is pretty good. I had and returned the Bose 900 and I like the Arc a bit better. I think the Bose had better side-firing sound. The quality is probably indistinguishable to someone like me. The wall mount is 1000% better than the Bose. If you want to wall mount your sound bar there are several great options for the Sonos from $30 up. I used the Sanus bar which worked really well. The Arc is build to put a few bolts in the back of the bar and slide it onto the mount making it super easy to put on or if you need for some reason take back off. The TrueSound app is great. It is easy to use. It works with my Samsung TV remote for volume and Spotify is very easy to use. The music sounds great. I added the mini sub which helps bring up the bass quite a bit.

    Amazing sound quality. Easy setup. A bit buggy sometimes when changing the source on the TV, but turning the TV on and off usually fixes that. Nervous about the price tag, but the sound is definitely amazing... Even with no Sub.

    This is a great sound bar. Well worth the money. Great depth of sound, and voices come across clear. Mated it up with my Sonos Play 5 speakers for a surround sound system. Really sounds good! Very simple to set up. Works great with Roku for surround sound when streaming movies.

    Absolutely love the simplicity of setting up the Sonos Arc in just a matter of minutes. And the ease of expanding the system in the future. It goes to show that you don’t have to compromise sound quality to get something that’s a sheer joy to work with. The Sonos product line does not disappoint.

    After waiting and missing the prior arrival, I bought this one as soon as it was available. I replaced my Sonos Playbar. The Arc connects with a HDMI cable as opposed to the optical only for the Playbar. The sound is great and setup was easy. Just had to remove them add the surrounds again in the mobile app.

    This was really simple to set up. Just make sure to have an iOS device handle for True play calibration. Music and movies sound great. The voices are clear, amd the soundbar packs a decent amount of base for movies. Dolby Atmos track sound amazing. Thus has really made my movie watching experience way better.

    SOOOOO easy to set-up. Took less than 10 minutes to install. Has a GREAT sound and you can control the volume from a single remove (in my case, my FIOS remote) or my phone. Next I will purchase the subwoofer and surround sound speakers (after my move)!

    Installed this in our family room that is open to the second floor, sound has always been an issue, Not anymore with the Sonos Arc. Easy to connect and always ready state means we are not looking for another remote to turn the sound bar on.

    Meh soundbar, Blah price!

    Meh. I don't understand the price tag around this unit. It was hyped up to me by the Buy Techs as the primo unit in sound and that they owned these units themselves for the sound quality but I failed to notice the WOW factor. Every time I turn on the TV it seems like I have to press the "+" button many time before a noticeable difference in sound quality and volume is achieved. Also, It tops out too early as I feel that I am almost as the highest volume setting to notice any real quality. Not to many bells or whistles related to sound adjustment, just treble and bass. The only thing that seems to be a major selling point besides Alexa and voice commands it that it's truly wireless with it supporting components. The upward facing speakers do make it seem like the sound is coming from the tv but again, I want to feel like I'm at the movies! In some instances (even with UHD movies and I have the TV that supports it to included DVD player) it fails to pick up lower levels of dialog and if a character is the only one speaking but is in the background or turned slightly the voice drops off/subdue or "quieted" making it harder to understand what that character's lines were. Overall, I will spend money when I believe the quality is there. With this, I feel like I deserve a rebate.

    An incredible soundbar, yes it is expensive but I believe Sonos is worth every $. I did not buy the subwoofer yet, but I don't really feel the need to as the bass alone from this is great. If you on the fence about the price point, it is 100% worth the investment for A+++ theater quality sound.

    The sound is really impressive and it works seemlessly across all devices. The only issue I have seen is sometimes it doesn’t pick the output of TV which requires resetting/restarting the devices.
