    Best sonos sound bar for open concept living space

    I originally bought the beam, 2 one SL’s, and sub mini (when it came out) for my open concept living room with a 14’ vaulted ceiling and was thrilled with it over the LG soundbar/subwoofer. However, after an LG WebOS update my audio changed to pcm 7.1.4 which messed up the surround sound and made the one SL’s over power the beam. Plus the sound wasn’t as loud as it was in the past. Some research mentions that the arc would help solve some of the current’s issue so when I saw an open box arc for around $723, I scooped it up. I tested Top Gun and Stranger Things Season 4 episode 2. I could most definitely tell a difference as the sound felt like it was truly above and around me. While the beam did a good job, I learned it wasn’t idea for my space and will put it in a bedroom.

    Love this sound bar! A year ago I bought the sonos beam. I returned it, because it didn't have a big enough sound. The Arc though sounds awesome, and has great bass. We use it for music more than TV, but it sounds great for both. I'm done with complicated AV receivers, wires, and separate speakers. Sonos is so easy and sounds great.

    We love our Sonos Arc Soundbar. I'd highly recommend this soundbar. We wanted white, so we had to wait for a soundbar to be ordered. We're super satisfied with the sound and ease of use of this product. We had Magnolia install the soundbar. They did a great job, communicating often as we had some installlation limitations.

    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.

    These speakers are incredible. I have the expensive Bose soundbar of similar price for my living room because my girl loves Bose. Let me tell you, these destroy the Bose. The Dolby Atmos is top notch. If you prefer Bose , give these bad boys a try. Plus the white looks amazing and unique in my home.

    By far the best soundbar. The app could be a little more intuitive. There is a bit of a chance that connection with the app and the soundbar can fail once in a few months, but other than that, somewhat of a nice subwoofer is packed into this small soundbar, and the sound is phenomenal.

    So I have had LG, Samsung, and Sony sound bars and the like before but I truly think Sonos blows them out of the water! I had just got a 65in frame and wanted to pair with Samsung sounds again. Last set I had worked well together for the space so figured I couldn’t go wrong. I got the hw-s801b with Dolby Atmos and had a few reviews but overall they were positive. After the first week I was not happy, tv and bar had syncing issues and even if you did a bypass it would still do it and had a funky echo. So I did some more research and opted to drop a little extra on this and well worth it, no sync issues, no echo, just straight crisp sound and you hear everything. Paired with the mini 6 sub and it fits the room like a glove.

    The arc is everything it’s supposed to be and sounds great. Love being able to tie all the Sonos products in different rooms to play music together. We had a Xmas party and the whole house was rocking. Added the sub as well. It’s pricey but money well spent.

    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.

    These are our first Sonos products. Good build quality. Not audiophile sound but good enough for casual listening. Was looking for a single integrated music solution for the whole house that could be controlled by voice. Has worked well most of the time. Had some connectivity issues during a party one time so far. I think it was tied to the Sonos app changes that have been ongoing for months. Seems to have resolved itself. The app is the biggest concern at this point. Will continue to monitor the updates and their impact on useability.

    Easy to setup, high quality sound, works well with Xbox Series X. Even better when you pair with other Sonos gear, I’ve managed to get Dolby Atmos configured and it’s made playing video games or watching movies really fun.

    Sounded great in the store and even better at home. Fills the room with clear sound. Subwoofer is a must. Also note that you'll need to have an iPhone to download the Sonos app and calibrate the room. Great packaging/unboxing experience as well
