Customer Ratings & Reviews

What stands out most is the clarity. Dialogue stays crisp and centered while the surrounds stretch music. Setup is simple, especially in the Sonos app. A few taps, a quick Trueplay tune, and the room feels bigger than its square footage.

Excellent, high quality soundbar! Sonos does it again. I have several Sonos products and they always have the utmost quality. My only gripes in the past, were centered around the lack of bluetooth and also the need to use the Sonos app when using my iPhone to play music. However, Airplay integration was fixed years ago and this soundbar also has bluetooth! As for the soundbar itself, the quality is amazing and right now it is sitting in a small space and the audio is extremely immersive for movies and gaming. I am thoroughly enjoying it. The only con I see is the price tag, it is a tough pill to swallow for a soundbar, but so far I think it's worth the investment.

One of the best entertainment systems I have had the experience of listening too. Easy system setup!

I've owned many sound systems. This is my second soundbar. I run this in the living room and I run a samsung HW-Q990C in the theater room. I have B&W's I run for turntable listening. So from someone who has heard many systems, this one is good, not great. Im not sure what you the reader are looking for, but hopefully I can steer you in the best direction. The sonos has a few key advantages, its very simple and simple to setup. It has a long but narrow footprint and looks unobtrusive so it will blend well with decor if thats what you care about. It has decent sound and can get decently loud. I paired these with two sonos era 100's to fill the space in the living room, id say its a must to fill the void. And what I mean is, a soundbar pushes sound from one location, so your soundstage will feel concentrated to one area. Its just how it is with soundbars versus a dedicated 2.1 or 5.1, setup. Its physics, you can't change that. They try and fix this with side and up firing speakers, and it works OK, but it doesn't compare to a dedicated system. The samsung, which i dont want to focus on too much because this isn't about that system, gets much louder than this, but its also much bigger. If you are looking for a setup with bigger booms and room vibrating sound, and you have the space, the samsung is the direction I'd steer you. If you want the closest thing to a theater setup without spending $1000's of dollars, this ain't it. It will give you pleasant sounding music, good movie/tv audio, but if you want to throw in Top Gun Maverick and be blown away, this won't do that. I recommend a dedicated 5.1, receiver setup. Which all can be had at less than $2k. Well why the sonos then you may ask? Because the sonos is simple and clean and perfect if you have little ones running around causing havoc. I can't risk kids poking holes in my speakers haha. As soon as they are old enough, Im going to sell all of my soundbars setups and go back to loudspeakers, its just so much better. But for simplicity sake, its hard to beat these soundbar setups. And sonos has a great ecosystem and the app works well. Hope this helps!

The Arc Ultra is my first Sonos product. Quick and easy setup through plug and play and the Sonos app. Minimalist look. I've only been using it for a few days, but I am pleased with the sound so far. I plan to get the Sub Mini for a little extra "oomph", but I would be happy with just the Arc Ultra.

I love the way this sounds!!! The sound is crystal clear and the ease to set it up was easy! I have Sonos speakers in 4 rooms in my house and they are the best investment.

Sounds amazing if you can stomach the price. Easy to setup. Dolby atmos is a game changer. If you add the sub and the era 300s as rears it sounds like you’re in a movie theater.

This soundbar has amazing sound with clear voices and surprisingly deep bass that’s makes movies and music awesome. The setup and tuning was easy to follow.

Upgraded from an earlier sonos sound bar. Fits well!

Sleek design and GREAT sound. Easy set-up. I have been a Sonos customer for several years and this is my second ARC .... because I liked it so much. Best if paired with the Sonos sub and some rear speakers for FULL sound.

There simply is no comparison. The Arc Ultra is the best soundbar on the market. I paired it with two Era peripheral speakers and the subwoofer and I have a movie theater experience everytime I turn on the TV. Not cheap, but Sonos never is. But I say buy something quality once, not cheap stuff several times!

Addition to our existing Sonos system. Works perfect as always. Wall mounted without issue. Great sound

We watched an action movie a couple of nights ago, and one scene in particular absolutely blew us away—a thrilling gunfight in the middle of the street. The sound design was so immersive, it genuinely felt like we were right there in the action. It was an unforgettable experience! Our current setup includes a six-year-old Samsung 65-inch TV, which doesn’t support Dolby Atmos sound. After experiencing how much difference great audio can make, I’ve decided it’s finally time for an upgrade. A new TV will definitely be on the list once we repaint the family room!

Sound quality, tone separation and clarity is amazing! Voice clarity is awesome, even when the movie sound mixing is subpar. Great at separating voices from background music. Sounds like a home theater. Listening to music stations sounds like being at a concert. Looks like it was made for our 55”LG OLED UHD TV. Exact same size. So pleased!

Went from a 5.1 speaker system to the arc and Sonos sub. The sound separation isn’t as good as a component speakers but it’s there. I did test the bar without the sub and yes it has good base but the sub takes it a step farther and I can’t go without it now. The set up looks clean, no visible wires. Air play works fine. If you want a good looking sound system that it’s easy to set up then the arc is for you.

At first I was disapointed it would not work with my Denon receiver. Once I connected the Arc Ultra as recommended, I realized how much the sound improved and cable clutter is gone. The app has also made significant improvements since I bought my old Sonos 1 speaker. I am planning to complement the Arc Ultra with additional Sonos speakers and base. But the Arc alone fills the house with amazing sound. The only thing I was missing is the optical connection. But Sonos had an adaptor that works well and is only $25. So thank you Sonos!

Coming from old LG 2.1 that was just above native tv speakers, this soundbar is a massive change. Some concerns around Sonos architecture and price/value. Investigate that yourself if you have questions. Was looking for a stand alone soundbar that would keep living room setup clean and simple. This bar delivers, especially on higher quality audio. Paired with new QLED TV and am enjoying everything so far. When upgrading your TV, do not forget that audio makes even larger impact than pixels in the experience! Plan accordingly.

Sounds better than I expected! I use this mostly for music and these speakers do not fail me!

I was not going to get it. I have heard this in other's homes and was not impressed at all. i listened to it in the store and compared it to other devices. For us, the voice clarity was the key. I have to say once it was installed, the sound is amazing.

Best soundbar I've owned. Easy to set up and easy to use.
