Customer Ratings & Reviews

If immersive sound, flexible control, and speech clarity matter to you, this is a MUST upgrade. The Arc Ultra is a significant technical leap. It not only expands from 5.0.2 to 9.1.4-channel (including a built-in woofer) but also integrates Sound Motion technology, delivering more precise, enveloping audio. Key upgrades like Bluetooth, AI-enhanced dialogue, and Android-friendly Trueplay tuning make it smarter and more convenient.

The Sonos Arc Ultra has been an awesome upgrade. Setup was incredibly easy, plug it in, follow the app steps, and it was up and running in minutes. I had no connectivity issues at all, despite seeing some people mention problems elsewhere. It paired smoothly with my Sony Bravia 8 and has stayed rock solid since day one. Sound quality is excellent with clear dialogue and immersive depth, making movies and TV feel truly cinematic. Overall, it’s been reliable, simple, and absolutely worth it!

The ease of setup is really easy and quick. Uses tv remote so no need for another remote Paired with their sub and rear speakers is amazing. No need for re syncing the rears every month because of static(Sony a5000,a7000) Worth the money.

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.

I started off with stereo gen 2 homepods and those were awesome, but I was looking to build out a home setup with more bass. I sprung on the beam gen 2 with sub mini and era 100s for rears and that was good too. I did notice the beam getting drowned out a lot from the sub and rears, so I sold it off along with the sub mini and got this one and the sub 3. The height channels are something different and music sounds phenomenal. There’s so many detail I get from even older tracks. I thought Atmos was a fluke until I installed this bad boy. Everything sounds so clear and detailed that I can’t go back.

The Sonos system is the best. Great sound with not a lot of effort. You don’t have wires everywhere just 2. Plug into the tv and plug into an outlet. Setup is easy on the app and you have theater quality sound in your home. I have two systems I loved it so much.

This sound bar is amazing. The sound quality is incredible. It was easy to install and complements our new Sony TV.

Amazing sound quality you expect from Sonos, it complete fills my home theater space. Seemless integration with my new Sonos Era 100 speakers for surround, and my older Sonos Subwoofer as well. Easy setup and integration!

The Sonos Arc Ultra has been awesome. I got it with a pair of Era 300's for surround and a Sub 4, it's by far the best surround sound I've ever had! The ease of setup and it's capabilities are incredible.

Best soundbar and possibly speakers I’ve ever own. I live in a 2bd apartment on the second floor and I was looking for a new soundbar. I owned a Yamaha soundbar paired with a 6in subwoofer but it really suffered with dialog. I always felt like I was constantly adjusting the volume just to hear speech audio. Not only that but it would intermittently lose connection. I already own a pair of KEF Q100 bookshelf speakers that I use with my PC but I didn’t want to use them in our living room. They would take up too much space with stands and I don’t have a receiver. On my computer desk I have a small dac/amp but that wouldn’t work for my entertainment system. So I decided to buy a soundbar. After tons of research I decided to go with the Sonos Arc Ultra and I’m so glad I did. No more constantly messing with volume. Dialogue is crystal clear even with speech enhancement off. Night mode saves me from constant anxiety after 10pm that my volume or bass is too loud. Night mode is great for gaming and movies but not so much for music but that’s okay. The Arc Ultra also has a built in driver for bass and it packs a punch. If you live in apartment, want some rocking bass, but don’t want a dedicated sub then buy this soundbar. You’ll be more than happy. I ended up buying a Sonos Sub Mini only because I love body shaking bass (sorry neighbors). Again night mode is a life saver. It will reduce the bass a bit but the audio still sounds natural. Atmos/Spatial Audio is game changing too! My old soundbar had virtual Atmos but it doesn’t even compare to having dedicated upward firing speakers. It’s so immersive and I’ve been rewatching a lot of old movies just to experience their Atmos mix. Even my wife loves it. Our 4 month old baby also approves. We’re saving up for a pair of Era 300s next. The only thing is that I did have to run TruePlay tuning a few times to get it to sound like I like. The soundbar does get very loud especially when the source audio is Dolby Atmos. Volume levels will vary if the source audio is a different format but when it’s Atmos our volume rarely goes beyond 35. If it’s stereo or Multi Channel PCM it can creep up to 50. Overall I love this bar and plan on buying more Sonos products.

We just love the sound Sonos Arc Ultra Soundbar. Very happy that we purchased this. Great sound and very easy to set up.

After upgrading the TV in our family room, we decided the old soundbar we were using needed an upgrade. We wanted a soundbar that could support full Dolby Atmos without requiring rear surround speakers as they would have needed to be placed on the floor and our young grandson would likely knock them over or be tempted to play with them. We decided on the Sonos Arc Ultra, which we purchased on sale at Best Buy. We weren't concerned about the lack of a remote, since we use our Apple TV to control our Samsung TV which in turn adjusts the volume on the soundbar through eArc (eARC being your only connection option for Dolby Atmos). Setting up the Sonos Arc Ultra through my iPhone was quite easy and I experienced no problems (some had reported issues with the previous Sonos Arc). The sound of the Sonos Arc Ultra without the rear speakers is quite good, although those expecting it to rival the sound of a very good hi-fi system might be disappointed. Note you have to use the Sonos app to see whether your Sonos unit is actually play Dolby Atmos or PCM 5.1. I would highly recommend this unit to those in a similar position us. If you have the ability to support rear speakers the Samsung Q990 soundbar is probably a better choice if you can get it on sale. We later purchased the Sonos Sub 4 to further enhance the sound qualities of the Sonos. We waited until it on went on sale and were then able to use the Best Buy points from our Sonos Arc Ultra purchase.

Amazing sound! The Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar is amazing. It is simple to setup and a great improvement over the sound from the television. Movie night is at my place now. Would greatly recommend this item.

sound quality is great, setup very easy and works seamless with music apps

The Sonos Arc Ultra has been a great upgrade to my home setup. Sound quality is clear, immersive, and noticeably fuller compared to standard TV audio. Dialogue is crisp, and the bass response adds depth without needing immediate adjustments. Setup was simple through the Sonos app, and integration with streaming services worked seamlessly. Overall, excellent performance and a premium sound experience that significantly improves movies and TV watching.

The Arc Ultra soundbar changed the game for our sound experience for the better. Its crisp sound is noticeable in all situations. Very easy to setup and the app is intuitive. Highly recommend!

Great sound. Easy to setup. Love how easy it was to add more speakers

I’m extremely pleased with the Sonos Arc Ultra paired with the Sonos Sub 4 and two Sonos Era 300 speakers. The setup is clean and minimal, yet the sound is absolutely amazing—clear, powerful, and very well balanced across all ranges. Dialogue is crisp, bass is deep without being overwhelming, and the surround experience is immersive. This system exceeded my expectations, and I’m already looking forward to adding more components in the future. I also want to give credit to the team at Best Buy—the employees were very helpful, knowledgeable, and made the entire buying experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a premium home theater system.

Love this addition! Sound is great for our area and was super easy to set up! Can't wait to add our next piece to our sound system

​Purchasing the Sonos Arc Ultra from Best Buy was absolutely worth the investment. This soundbar delivers a truly immersive 9.1.4 Dolby Atmos experience, filling the room with detailed, three-dimensional sound that completely transforms movie nights and music streaming. The new Sound Motion woofer is a game-changer, providing surprisingly deep, clear bass from a sleek standalone unit, while the dedicated center channel ensures dialogue is crystal-clear—no more missing words during explosions. It integrates flawlessly with the Sonos app for easy setup, room tuning with Trueplay, and works seamlessly with my TV remote, making it the best all-in-one sound solution for anyone serious about home theater audio.
