    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.

    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 .

    Dolby Atmos

    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.

    The BEST I’ve Experienced

    I originally purchased the Sonos Bean 2 for my living room, but returned it for the Sonos ARC due to the size of the room (26’ x 20). The ARC has been excellent. Its ability to broadcast suck depth and richness of sound to include all frequency ranges as well as directional sound… so well… is both perplexing and impressive. Paired with a Sonos Sub, it’s perfect.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent addition to your HDMI 2.1 arc/Earc compatible television. I'm using the Sonos system as part of my home theater / gaming setup. Sound quality is top notch, there Is No lag. Set up is clean and very easy, no wires running all over the place.

    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

    I purchased the Sonos Arc, Gen3 sub and a 250 watt amp to push rear speakers. I already had amp pushing two BW front speakers and external sub. The only issue i ran into was that sonos would only allow my setup to include the Arc, Rear speakers, and Gen3 sub since the arc is supposed to be the front and center speakers. I was able to get everything to work as one and it sounds incredible. I had to use the sonso app on my cell phone and combine both setups to run as a group. Only down fall is that you need to use your cell app to control the volumes, But it sounds incredible for both Music and movies. Will purchase another arc for bed room

    I've been using Sonos since 2000 and have always loved the ease of use and great sound and this is no exception. This replaced the previous version soundbar and I can notice the difference in sound and feel that it would be worth the upgrade.

    I went to the Best Buy store to look at soundbars. The quality of this product is much better than a soundbar I had purchased years ago. I eventually purchased the Sonos Arc soundbar to accent a Sony OLED TV. Sound is perfect. I like the ability to add to the system in the future. Best Buy associates are very up to date on the differences between each of the products and were very helpful in this purchase. Size is perfect and the balance between the speakers is right on. Sonos did a great job with this product. Oh, and I think it looks great mounted under the TV.
