    Awesome sound. I ran seven speakers in my theater room to get good sound. When I purchased the Arc Ultra, I was able to remove the seven speakers and have a better room filling sound with the Arc Ultra and the Sub 4 Subwoofer. And the use of the app make tweaking the sound very easy.

    Unfortunately I am not impressed by this speaker. The Best Buy member that helped me was pretty confident this was by far the best choice. My TV speaker is louder than this is. I Wish it came with a remote as well but it does not you are forced to put another APP on your phone to manage this device. This particular speaker was already returned maybe that should of been my sign not to buy it.This speaker was a grand and a dissapointment and I cant even take it back. :(

    Best Dolby Atmos Soundbar under $1000

    Excellent Dolby atmos soundbar, can’t get much better than this, unless you get a dedicated atmos system which will be (in most cases) a lot more complicated and a lot more expensive. Sound stage is impressive, especially for Dolby Atmos music and movies. It is pretty big but sleek enough to fit with any home theater set up. I bought 2 era 300s later for surrounds for Black Friday and the Dolby Atmos effect is incredible.

    Completely unexpected how great this soundbar sounds. I decided to bite the bullet and was not disappointed. The surround sound paired with anything Dolby Atmos is incredible. The soundstage of just the soundbar without the sub or Era’s is amazing on its own.

    I had a Definitive Technologies sound bar and sub from Magnolia for 6-8 years. It sounded great, but I could never connect it to get firmware updates, etc. Possibly due to that it had no phone connectivity and had to resort to a very cheaply made basic remote control. I was due for an upgrade. After a couple of weeks, I’m very happy with the sound of the Sonos arc ultra. It advertises the Era 300 surround speakers, but couldn’t justify the almost $800 for two of them. I bought the Era 100s and due to the size of my room, they are perfect as supplemental surround speakers and sound great. I have other Sonos speakers, including their amplifier to run wired non Sonos patio speakers, but with this new set up, it takes a bit to get used to connecting certain speakers to music versus switching the sound bar to music versus the TV, etc. Given.

    Have to admit i was hesitant to purchase this upgraded Arc. Alrwady have the original with 2 gen 3 subs and 2 Era 300’s. Fiugured like most thing this was a money grab and there wouldnt be much difference. Well i was completely wrong and blown away with this Arc Ultra. The way the sound hugs the room and every corner. So much more detail in the effects around you. Take the original Arc x 10. Thinking about upgrading gen 3’s to gen 4 subs now. App is slowly getting better also. Still not the greatest but better.

      It’s wonderful to hear that the Ultra exceeded your expectations and added such depth and detail to your listening experience. The way you described the sound "hugging" the room perfectly captures the immersive quality we've aimed for.

      It’s also great to know you're noticing improvements in the app, though we recognize there's room to continue enhancing its usability. We're glad you're considering further upgrades and appreciate your support. If you have any questions or need help with future setups, we’re here to assist!

    This soundbar is hard to beat

    I was skeptical that the Arc Ultra would would live up to the hype, but have been presently surprised. I have a small theater room (11x14) and was previously using a modest Sony soundbar (5.1) with wireless subwoofer. Having convinced myself that this was fine for such a small room, I was content. Then I heard the Arc in my daughter's house (in a very large room) and decided to take a look. I thought I went totally overboard with the Arc Ultra, but am more than satisfied with this device. Once I added the Sub Mini, the sound filled out nicely and provides a lush and enveloping experience. Also, the dialog enhancement is the best I have ever heard.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This soundbar blew my mind after I got it set up with the Sonos app! It has a generous amount of front, side, and height firing speakers that make a clear and dynamic difference. It also has 4 small subs for bass if you do not want to get the Sub 4. These do a solid job and offer a decent amount of bass. But when you pair this soundbar with any of their subwoofers it has a completely realize depth that is worth the buy. Go check out the demo at your local store!

    This is a superior 9.1.4 soundbar with exceptional sound quality. Definitely a great upgrade for your home sound system, especially if accompanied with the Sonos sub 4, and a pair of Era 300s. Also, Sonos app experience is another plus for the setup!

    bought this to replace a Roku soundbar which was great. However, it was an older streaming version that is no longer sold and was having issues. This soundbar is amazing! I coupled it with the mini sub and two wireless speakers for surround. I already have a Sonance by Sonos outdoor speaker system so they work seamlessly together. I can no play music in the house and backyard simultaneously or different on each. Sound quality is great as is the versatility.
