    My old reciever went out shortly before I moved to a new house. After much research, my larger living room would have needed another receiver anyway. Upon deciding to build my own speakers for my new system, I needed a temporary solution because the stock TV speakers were not cutting it. My poor ears... I purchased this w/2 rear Sonos 1s and the gen. 3 Sub however, I tested the sound bar alone before syncing the rear speakers and sub. Easiest set up ever and I can now enjoy decent surround sound until my new speakers are built and my receiver is replaced. Definitely worth it for people who don't want to have to deal with installing a wired surround sound system. While the directional speakers are decent at the side surround channels the additional Sonos 1s will bring the rear channels to life. Bass is decent enough until you can add a dedicated sub. I will definitely keep this system and move it to my game room after my new system is completed.

    Wow, I paired this with my 65 inch Samsung flatscreen and coming from Samsung sound bars this thing made a world of difference. The sound and clarity is amazing. I’ve had no issues. I’ve had it almost 4 weeks. I also have the subwoofer paired to it. Installation was pretty simple. Downloaded the app and in about 30 minutes everything was up and going.

    Mother of crackers and oyster sauce. This soundbar blew me away when I tried it out in the store. With the bass add-on, a new change of clothes was almost required when the bear roared. With that being said, Sonos is a well-known, reviewed brand that produces quality sound and is aesthetically pleasing to myself. However, it does have some issues which is the the cost of the hardware is fairly high and additional hardware to make it a full surround sound are purchased separately (thus, I only have the sound bar). Another nitpick, that is personal preference only, is the lack of a physical remote to control device. However, there is an app for Android and iOS that controls the sound level and other features such as night mode and dialogue enhance.

    I was a avr guy. Big speakers were my thing. But then i got into Sonos and it reminds me a lot like apple as far as easy to set up and sounds amazing. On top of that everything is wireless. I went arc sub and 2 play 5 route and it sounds incrediable. Not saying it will replace a 10k sterile speaker system but more then enough to get you into a movie.

    Highly recommend to solve so many surround sound issues. This sound bar alone will enhance voice and reflect sound in ways you only thought was possible with more speakers. It works very well switching from streaming Video to playing music from you phone.

    The setup is straightforward and intuitive via the Sonos S2 app like other Sonos products. It takes me less than 10 minutes to complete. The Arc sounds really good as I expect, You can really hear the different audio channels and special effects when playing Dolby Atmos content. The Arc also works great as a smart speaker delivering rich and immersive sound. Highly recommend!

    Must buy if you are already in the Sonos ecosystem. If not, it is still great as a stand-alone soundbar. I have this paired with the sub and the Dolby Atmos with it is amazing. Another great feature is the clear vocals when watching movies. Don’t have to use subtitles to know what’s going on.

    Wow, and then extra Wows when combined with two Era 100 surrounds. Customer support picked up on a Sunday morning and helped with setup...on a Sunday! Are you kidding me?? How many companies have support awake and ready to help on a Sunday these days?? I'm a Sonos believer and super fan now.

    I purchased this sound bar a few weeks before I bough the new Vizio OLED. My plan was to connect it through the HDMI 2.1 port for full surround sound. I only used this on an older television and let me tell you the sound quality was amazing. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to hear Dolby Atmos on this. Ultimately I ended up returning this because I later found out it does not support DTS-X surround sound. Unfortunately a lot of my movie collection uses this technology. If you only stream movies and you want the best sounding sound bar I would go with the soundbar for sure.

    This sound bar is truly incredible! I read and watched a number of reviews before purchasing this soundbar and it does not disappoint! You hear rich tones, highs and lows in great clarity. I love the Sonos App that works in conjunction with the system

    This sound bar has far exceeded my expectations. As an audiophile I had my doubts, but everything is so crisp. Dolby Atmos is amazing even after having this for so long I still can’t believe the depth of sound and how immersive it really is.

    I can not say enough about this product. Sonos Arc was added to new Sony 65" TV. Easy to Install. Was primarily looking for Soundbar to stream music. Sound is pretty good without adding the sub woofer. Good mid tones and pitches, Very happy with purchase. Have also added Sonos One speaker in bedroom and can both simultaneously.

    This will be the last soundbar you'll ever buy. There's nothing the Arc cannot do. Elegant, insanely great sound and it even has enough bass where you don't really miss a dedicated woofer. I've slowly added One SL's as the rears and taken it to a whole new level.

    I understand when people say Sonos is the top of the line speakers. Amazing quality and clarity. We live in an apartment right now so we’ve been holding off on the subwoofer. The arc has amazing sound and bass. I was actually surprised with the bass in it without the subwoofer. Now we are a Sonos family.

    Just installed last week. Have been sitting listening to Dolby Atmos videos ever since and it is pure pleasure. Great sound. Have just ordered the Sub and 2 sono's ones to go with the system. Cant wait for them to come. Honestly if you have a small space you really dont need the sub but hey if you can why not?
