First time buying an upscale soundbar or Sonos device and I was pretty blown away. Crystal clear dialogue, outstanding bass and great design it’s and all in one package that just feels and sounds premium. Live that you can play music on it directly from the app or even talk to it and request to play music or a specific song. It can even play music while you have the tv playing something else definitely cool for a little party. Paired up with my mantle mount tv mount awesome combo. Definitely a great addition to my home.

I bought the Arc Ultra as part of a bundle with the Sub 4 and a pair of Era 300 rear speakers. Setup was very easy and the sound quality is great, especially for music, Dolby 5.1, and Dolby Atmos TV/movie content. The only cords needed for the setup were power for each speaker and an HDMI cable between the Arc Ultra and my TV (included in the box). I already had the Sonos app on my Android phone from the other Sonos speakers I owned previously, and adding the new surround system was a breeze (fully guided in the app).
The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because even though the surround effects work well with the system, I don't feel like I get the level of height channel effects I was expecting from the Atmos content. That could be just my room/setup or the content, but I've tried various adjustments and following guidelines for speaker placement and such and just don't notice much difference in that area. Additionally, I'm a bit disappointed there are no HDMI passthrough inputs on the Arc Ultra like there are on some other soundbars, and to a lesser degree, I'm disappointed there is no DTS:X support.
All that aside, I'm very happy with the system, and it works well with my Samsung TV, Roku Ultra, and Xbox.

Well I finally made the move to a sound bar. I boxed up my old Denon receiver and Bose speakers and purchased a sound bar from another company. Was not impressed at all with the sound bar and thought about going back to my receiver, however I decided to try the Sonos soundbar as it had great reviews. Got it home was very impressed with the packaging usually that's something I don't care about but it was packaged very well. Pull the sound bar out hooked it up to my TV, took maybe 20 minutes tops to get all of the update firmware, app for my phone and wiring to my TV done... very easy install and setup. I highly recommend using the ARC HDMI outlet. Set up the sound bar use the app to apply the sound optimization and was very impressed at the quality of this sound bar versus the previous sound bar that I had purchased ... really sounded great. I went to the sound bar to see if I could up the volume manually and move it to a better location when I realized that I had the sound bar pointing straight up instead of out. I was going off the label and I could read Sonos backwards. Once I put the sound bar facing forward and ran the optimization app again was very very very impressed with the sound that was coming out of my speaker. Hope to add a subwoofer later and will update my review.

Amazing sound quality this is truly one-of-one. It’s a great size but packs a punch and looks great. I don’t have any subs but i don’t feel like I’m missing out at all. The soundbar is great on its own

The mounting service was quick and smooth, and there is an enormous difference in the sound compared to my old speakers. The app and pairing to the smart TV is user friendly. It’s sleek looking, and takes up less space. Very happy!

I do have a Klipsch 7.1 in my loft but the sound quality of this unit is superb. Perfect partner for my Samsung The Frame 75" and 2 ERA 300 with Subwoofer. Sound is crisp. Easy to set up. Would buy another one in a heartbeat. Minimalist design. I would love to have the app improved a little bit to be seamless with Spotify. Overall, it is worth your hard-earned Benjamins!

The best soundbar!!Stunning sounds. Great size. I really like how easy this was to get connected and set up. Looks fantastic. Functions perfectly,and the connectivity was fast. This is a higher end sound bar, but definitely worth it. Has a good weight to it,feels very good quality material.

I've owned many speakers and soundbars over the years and I have to say this one is, simply put, remarkable. The level of detail and clarity without having to find tune, reposition, calibrate or contort my body into the optimal listening position is incredible. Crisp, clear, engaging sound fills the room effortlessly and when you add a sub and surrounds they are work together seemlessly and with a level of detail matching systems 3 times the price. I also have a Samsung 990c and while the 990 system may be a good value the arc ultra system towers above the Samsung. Highly recommended!

I already had a Sonos Roam speaker and felt good about this soundbar because if how nice the Sonos speaker is, This Arc Ultra is a nice Soundbar. Love the Dolby Atmos, That's why I bought it and it doesn't disappoint. Will be getting the rear speakers soon and look forward to using them without wires.

We love this sound bar . This sound is amazing. I only wish we upgraded alot sooner. Had no idea what we were missing. This is the best by far . Lots of speakers and it will even scan your room to adjust perfectly. Love love love this ! You will not regret your purchase if you ad this to your entertainment system . Fits nicely under my 75 in TV
