    The clarity on this new soundbar is definitely better than the previous Arc (which in and of itself, was excellent!) It’s beautifully designed, feels lighter in weight and extremely easy to set up. This Arc Ultra now powers the media room, with the older Arc now paired with the living room tv.

    Great sound bar we are older and have a hard time hearing dialogue this has helped greatly. Might not be as good as a sound system but I don't think you can find a better sounding sound bar. The only negative would be the cost.

    I purchased the Sonos Arc sound bar on its own for now, and the sound is absolutely incredible! This is my first-ever Sonos purchase, and I’m already blown away. The clarity, depth, and immersive surround effect make everything—from movies to music—sound next level. I also love that it pairs and syncs perfectly with Alexa, making it super easy to control. I definitely plan to add more Sonos products to my home after experiencing how impressive the Arc is. Highly recommend!

    I resisted upgrading my 90s sound system for years. Purchasing a Sonos system was a revelation. I could not have guessed how great this product is. Adding components and managing them is very easy. Expensive? Sure. But worth every dollar.

    Great technology. Great performance. The price is high, but you're getting a lot. Using as a standalone with no plans to expand with sub or surrounds. Good for day to day TV viewing or the occasional Atmos blowout.

    Purchased this soundbar the Sub4 and two ERA300 for rears. The soundbar itself is very good, my previous soundbar was an old Klipsch and it did the job but when it came to heavy tasks in moves it simply couldn’t keep up. The Arc Ultra is a different ball game, the speech enhancement helps a lot especially when it comes to movies with a lot of sounds. A perfect example in a movie setting would be The Matrix Collection, this soundbar has a more level playing field when it comes to demanding scenes where people are talking and there is more action in the background. One thing to keep in mind with the speech enhancement is the higher the setting the more sounds it will cut out to compensate for dialogue. The Spatial Audio setting is also a great feature simply use your cellphone as a microphone and walk around the room and the app will stage the system for the entire room. As far as price I feel like the soundbar itself is a fairly decent priced soundbar. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to things like this. Having said that if you purchase the soundbar the sub and the rear speakers you're spending almost 3 grand. And if you add a second sub like I plan too you’re in almost 4 grand, for that price you can step into a different league. A good example would be the Nakamichi Dragon with 2 subs and rear speakers (with better components) for a similar price. All in all this is a great product especially if you want a very entry level audiophile style of system.

    An awesome audio system for anyone who enjoys music, streaming, and TV. The Android app is pretty good also, but lacks the Android Assistant. Truplay works well though. Expanding the system with a sub and surround speakers brings a new dimension to your sound capabilities, such as Dolby Atmos. I would recommen Sonos over the Sony Theatre Quad, due to the real center speaker rather than a fathom center. Great value.

    Great sounding bar, it completely fills the room. Was a breeze to set up. I will be getting rear speakers soon. As of now, there is enough bass with this bar that I won't have to get a sub. Bluetooth connectivity is a plus with the ultra!

    This is an amazing system and I am enjoying it… but it isn’t magic. My home is open floor plan with a living room that’s asymmetric. My couch is against a back wall of the room that separates the kitchen from living. Then on both sides of this short wall are entrance to the kitchen/dining and entrance to hall/office. All that said, for the acoustic mess I’ve dropped this system into it sounds great. But doesn’t overcome the sound getting lost in the house. I believe if I had a more traditional contained space, the Sonos ARC Ultra would give the cinematic theater sound I’m chasing.

    Before i purchased the Ultra, i had bought the new nakamichi shockwafe wireless 11.2.6. I had lots of trouble getting the sound to my liking with the nakamichi. I attribute some of that to the fact that it was just too much system for the space i was using it in. I sent it back and purchased the Ultra with 2 era300s. Wow! What a difference out of the box. The sound is much more natural and clear. The base is also fantastic without the subs and i dont see myself needing any subs for the near future. The nakamichi had great surrounds but the 300s with the ultra are a way better option for me. Immersive, powerful and clean looking. I love my sonos set up!!!!!!
