    The Sonos Arc delivers the quality sound one would expect to have when enhancing your tv experience. It fills the room nicely and captures frequencies your tv will never produce. It's easy to set up and adding other speakers using the app was easy. It's a very stylish piece as well so it adds a modern look to the rather blah look of other soundbars. It's at a higher price point than others, but it delivers. Having the other component speakers is truly a great listening experience. Music from it is just remarkable.

    Good but not Excellent

    The soundbar alone is fine but I would not say excellent. I do believe when you add a subwoofer of some sort in to the equation it makes me so much better. The vocals and sound quality overall are good. As someone who is used to having a subwoofer off to the side I just wasn't satisfied with the soundbar alone. I also did not want to spend another $400 to $900 just for a subwoofer and if I wanted the rears than more money on top of that. At that point I would've bought a Samsung Q990F and been done with it. I would still say it is a good option though.

    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.

    Easy to connect, and the sound is awesome on movie. Specially with the Dolby Atmos capability. But when it come's to music I still like the Bose soundbar. But when it come's to the bass the Sonos Arc is way more bass than Bose 700. I know because I bought the Bose 700 first but I return it and got the arc instead. Over all if your looking for a better movie sound and Voice assistant capable, the Sonos Arc is better, specially when you pair it with the Sonos one SL.

    Great sound quality! Chose Beam at first but decided to go with Arc. Also went with white. Looks more sleek than original black sound bar and bass.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
