    Should have bought this sound bar years ago! 200% better audio than the sound system of the sony a9g. Easy installation/setup. Pricey but audio quality worth it.

    Love the sound quality and easy connectivity. I would say it was well with the cost. Only cons are with volume, but it is just a sound bar.

    SUBWOOFER was as if I WAS AT a MOVIE THEATER literally. I couldn't be so HAPPY with this product. It is definitely WORTH the price that I was given, Didn't expect to buy this subwoofer and a soundbar. The BEST BUY STAFF that I encountered was so KNOWLEDGEABLE of the product, and I'm speaking of wattage, and sound waves when experiencing a movie with the family and how my family and I would feel the movie Magic. That blew me away to think otherwise of what experience of what my family would feel. His knowledge was key to selling me and how excited he was to help me realize what I would be purchasing

    This sound bar exceeds my expectations. The sound is room filling. The best surprise is commercials seem quieter than the show. That’s incredible! It links up with my Sonos amp to play tv inside and outside or they can be independent. And very user friendly! I would buy again, without question.

    Sound is incredible for a sound bar. So easy to connect to the system. Love that I can play music through the Sonos app as well as use for great sound from the TV. This is my 3rd Sonos Arc - clearly think very highly of them, but admittedly, they are expensive relative to other sound bars (which don't have the same level of connectivity and options... I guess you get what you pay for).

    I have this paired with the Sonos Subwoofer and 2 Sonos One SLs. They very well with each other, and it was very easy to pair with my phone. The sound quality for this thing is amazing. This is hands down the best sound bar I have owned.

    I got this sonos arc in white, and it’s very aesthetic. It does not look too boxy or bulky. It provides astounding room filling, clear audio. I also have the Sonos beam and I realize you don’t get the full surround affect unless you have rear speakers such as the Sonos one, 100s or the 300s. But with the Arc, having sound push upwards towards the ceiling to have that virtual overhead effect, really immerse you in whatever content you’re watching. Do not lose clarity at a higher volume and sound. Don’t sound faded at a lower volume. I recommend pairing the sound bar with either the Sonos sub mini or the GEN 3 for better overall clarity and balance sound. GET GSP ON THIS, proctect your investment.

    The best sound bar that I’ve ever owned and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a high quality product that has great features and is of excellent build quality. There’s nothing cheap about the Arc, including its price, but you will be happy with the sound quality and its ease of use and setup.

    Went into the store to buy a good product and walked out with a better product. The associate took the time to share the Sonos experience with us after asking what our goals were in the house. We paired the Sonos arec with two Sonos Five and three Sonos One speakers. Spread throughout the house, it is an immersive sound that hits you in your core. Whether you are listening to rock, rap, country or Frank it hits you. Then you throw in super bowl games and the sound flowing through the house with multiple tvs on but volume down on the set and the Sonos system delivering the experience. You feel like you are at the cinema watching the game. If you can't tell... I am a FAN of the Sonos system. Looking to add more to the patio and basement areas now!

    I love this soundbar!! Best sou dbar I've own. Sound is very crisp, can hear more details in movies. Man was i missing out. Love the fact that it supports dolby atmos. I'm happy with my purchase. Only downside about this is the price but the sound that comes out of that makes up for it.

    I have Sonos products in three rooms in my house including play ones, playbar, and the beam. The arc is by far the best product sonos has made. It blows the playbar out of the water, even without the sub. The price is steep but for me I know I’ll have it for years and the quality is great- so a no brainer.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Sound quality couldn’t be better with the Sonos Arc. I have my Arc paired up with an LG C1 65 inch TV and it makes for an amazing home theater experience. The audio stays clear and crisp; never distorting, even at high volume. The sound spreads across the room, enveloping you, and further immersing you into the auditory experience, wether it be music, gaming, or movie watching. I completely recommend pairing this piece of premium audio tech with any great TV to let you further enjoy any of your preferred media because this sound bar will guarantee you an enhanced viewing and listening experience if you don’t already have a good audio setup with your TV.

    This was my first Sonos purchase and I think it’s safe to say they will be who I turn to for sound and speakers. I was in much need of a sound bar. I had a Samsung bar with a sub from 2014...and although I never had problems or issues with that sound bar, it just didn’t seem like it couldn’t quite put out the power I was looking for now. So I did my research and came across this arc. Man am I glad I pulled the trigger! The Dolby Atmos this thing offers when paired with with the right TV is unbelievable. Honestly when I first powered this up I was blown away by how clear yet powerful it is. It’s pricey...but if you’re wanting to upgrade or just have a setup that you’re proud of for movie night or big games...this is the sound bar to get. The Sonos gen 3 sub will soon be joining the arc in my home and I’m excited to see how next level it’ll sound.

    I purchased the Arc to replace a full size bulky Klipsch system in our basement. I paired this sound bar with two Sonos One SL speakers and the wireless sub. The clarity of vocals is great and the projection fills the area. Most audio does not have Dolby Atmos encoding so I am not sure exactly how much better this actually is over the original Playbar. I have a similar set up upstairs with a Playbar, two Sonos Ones and a wireless sub. That combo actually sounds better in my opinion but that likely is specific to the room because the surround speakers are much closer to the Arc in the basement. The auto set up seems to have overly muted the surround causing the Arc to do more of the heavy lifting. Functionally, the ability to easily control the Arc with the TV remote is very nice. I cannot get my Samsung remote to work upstairs on the original Playbar forcing me to use a Harmony Elite. With the Arc, it immediately recognized the remote. I would recommend this unit if you want a thinner profile, great sounding sound bar that is ready for future tech (Atmos). Keep in mind that the source, TV (E-Arc) and sound bar must all be Atmos in order to actually get it. If they are not, the two top firing speakers on the Arc sound bar will just compliment the regular Dolby surround with a little added bass. If you are looking to save a couple hundred dollars, the original Playbar is still a very good sounding option. Finally, the Arc sound bar requires a separate app from Sonos which is a little annoying if you have older Sonos equipment in your house.

    No complaints for this! The sound is great, setup is ridiculously easy, and the seamlessness of use between the Arc, Sub, and LG C1 is unmatched. Highly recommend if it’s within your budget.

    Sounds great, voices very clear. I can’t try out Atmos, because you need a TV with e-arc HDMI 2.1 Port. You can add wireless subwoofer to give you more bass, but I think it already has enough bass for my taste. My television speakers just couldn’t give us the sound we needed, so adding unit fixes that problem.

    Is Sonos Still Relevant in 2024

    Even though the Sonos Arc is now going on 4 years old it still produces amazing sound. Sonos takes the Apple approach to audio equipment. They produce straightforward, elegant, and simplistic products with well-rounded sound profiles. Like Apple, you pay a tax for that and will pay more than other brands. The Arc has outperformed my prior sound bar setup (Klipsch Cinema 600) by leaps and bounds. Overall my family and I are super happy with our purchase!
