Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased to see if the Sonos Arc would be a reasonable replacement for my existing 5.1 system. A couple of caveats: (1) only purchased the Arc, no sub or rear surrounds, (2) pretty ideal room shape for Arc to do its Atmos work. Let me start by saying it is a very good sound bar. I also own a Beam and the Arc easily surpassed it. Really went to music (CD through Blueray player) to do the comparison since I did not have the sub or rears with Arc, so basically front two speakers of my 5.1 and the Arc. Same seating position, same sound level, same tracks. Basically the Arc did not provide the same sound stage that my existing system could. And there detail was not as well presented with the Arc. Again, I was interested in whether the Arc could replace my 5.1, but not set on it. Based on some limited listening time, I opted to return the Arc and stick with my 5.1. Probably not too surprising. But it is a good sound bar if that is what you are looking for. And really like the Sonos products and ease of use.

The Sonos Arc provides a great listening experience. The Sonos Arc provides clear sound that enhances your movie or sport viewing experience. I had been looking forward to getting this item for some time. I wish I hadn't waited this long. My TV viewing experience has been greatly enhanced since buying the Sonos Arc. When paired with the Sum Mini, it feels like being at the theater for movies or in the stands at a sporting event.

Love love love! I’ve been eyeing Sonos speakers for some time. Finally made a move and bought sound bars, subwoofers, and speakers for both TVs in the house. Not only the experience of watching movies upgraded, but I was aiming for the ease of combining or secluding sounds all over the house. I can listen to music, radio, or tv wherever I send the sound through my phone. It was worth the wait. I will be buying more speakers for sure.

I love the sound quality and it’s very easy to set up and use.

This thing sounds awesome! It's also extremely easy to hook up. Just plug it into the TV with an HDMI cable and plug up the power cable, then it's ready to set up.

Great sound and clear vocals. Easy to set up and use

I was worried that it would be confusing but it has great sound, very easy set up, and easier to use.

I have the Arc and the gen 3 sub. I'll start by saying YES you will need the sub. The bass without it is okay, but somewhat anemic. I am fairly happy but not over impressed. I have a separate full surround with twin subs in another room so I am well versed in higher end systems. The Arc has very clear speaking and music reproduction. As far as any kind of surround, simulated or otherwise, just doesn't seem to be there. I has 11 speakers but it sounds like one center speaker to me. I like that it's a system so I haven't returned it. There are probably cheaper soundbars that sound really good but they don't have the Sonos echosystem capability. Plus, Sonos does send out firmware updates to alter the system...I doubt anyone else will update their systems so that's worth the cost itself. I don't want to have to buy additional rare speakers for surround, thus buying a sound bar vs a 5.1 system. I'm just disappointed that it doesn't have more of a virtual surround sound.

Amazing sound...foolproof setup. The product does not disappoint.

great product and high quality sound to watch TV in a more immersive way

My husband loves them. Great on movie nights. We sit with popcorn, cuddled up in blankets and watch our favorite movies or series.

Sounds much better than my Bose system and easier to connect

Quite the experience trying to attain this bad boy. Through some ups and downs I finally received the Arc and let me tell you it is worth the wait and the money. Surprises me every time how so much sound can come out such a relatively small object. Anything TV related sounds great, especially from a dolby source. Music sounds great also. I will probably add the wireless sub too for extra bass, but it can wait. This is more than enough for now. First Sonos product and I am a satisfied customer.

Sounds great paired with 2 ERA 300, Gen3 sub and 2 Fives. (I grouped the Fives separately on the app and only use them for music) The Arc, Sub & 2 ERA 300's provide awesome surround sound for movies, and all 6 components together provide incredible sound for music.

Since I've rarely seen Sonos on sale I finally got my chance. Bought this with the Gen 3 sub and (2) Era 100 speakers for a living room surround setup. Was a bit unsure of the wifi vs bluetooth connection but all components connected fairly easily and have been good since. So far everything sounds great and I can shake the house with it!

Excellent sound. Love the app and ease of use. Gets plenty loud as well. If you can swing it get the sub as well.

Phenomenal in every way. Pure sound and hookup. Base is superb for a sound bar. 5*

Best sound bar I ever had, sound is clean and crisp.

I have had several sound bars and this is by far, the easiest to set up and has fantastic sound!! It really makes a difference! Thanks Sonos for great product!

I’ve done around 6 years of research on what brand of sound bars/surround sound systems and I can confidently say that Sonos is the system for me. I tested this sound bar, compared it with others and I love it. If you’re reading this hoping for more information I advise you go and research it yourself, because you might like the sound Bose has to offer or Sony, etc. Again, I find this to be the perfect sound bar for the room my Sonos surround sound system is in and I do not regret the purchase.
