Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really love the sound quality of this sound bar. Even bass-heavy sounds, sound good.

simple to install and the size and sound work great in my living room.

I had the original Arc and left it mounted to wall with the house I sold. Even though I could’ve bought the Arc on sale I went with the new ultra which is great. Sound quality and options on it are better than the original and it’s a little smaller in size. The price is high but it’s a great soundbar on it’s on but I have the sub mini and 2 Era 300 for a complete system and that is fantastic for movies.

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.

Amazing sound so much detail, perfect size, easy integration

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.

I purchased the Sonos sound bar Ultra for my girlfriend’s Valentine gift. The sound is fantastic! I was especially surprised at the amount of quality bass. We were having trouble with the tv dialog, but now can hear every word. I highly recommend the Sonos sound bar Ultra.

Love the new Sonos Ultra soundbar. Sounds is solid and full, fits perfect on our mantle. The subwoofer looks great (we went with white) and puts out impressive bass. For a soundbar system, it sounds as close to audio separates as you can get. Highly recommend and well worth the money (and I can’t always say that about everything I buy.

Great sound easy hook up deep bass clear sound and easy start up

We haven’t had it for very long but the sound quality and ease of use is outstanding. The app is also easy to use.

I haven had a new soundbar in 10 years. The difference in sound is amazing and the amount of bass this bar puts out is crazy. I can't wait until the sub gets here. I only have a 10 year old "inexpensive" Sony system to compair this to but, holy moly! Well worth the chunk you have to give up for it.

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!

I’m a Sonos fan and have been for years. I have a Sonos Arc on the main television in my home. When the Arc Ultra went on sale, I read a lot of reviews about the Ultra and it seemed like most people didn’t recommend replacing your existing Arc with the Ultra because the new Arc really didn’t improve music quality. The only reason I did decide to upgrade was the voice enhancement feature. After adding it to my network and using TruePlay to tune it to my room, I have to say it is a great upgrade for us. A lot of streaming services audio is sketchy at times but I will say that the Arc Ultra has improved our ability to listen to the dialogue without as much distortion as we had with the Arc by just using the voice enhancement feature. Spatial music playback is great and adding it to my surround setup was fairly easy. I took the old Arc and added to our downstair’s space replacing a Bose soundbar. That was also a fantastic change!

Upgraded from an earlier sonos sound bar. Fits well!

This is my first Sonos Soundbar (I've had other brands--which were good, but took a lot more effort to get working with the tv). I'm so thrilled with Sonos!! The sound is rich and full. It was incredibly easy to install and worked without any fuss when I plugged it into my Samsung TV. The look/shape of the bar was what ultimately made me pick this brand, and I'm so glad I did. It looks great!

The sound is great and easy to install.I have it on my living room

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!

Excellent sound bar but make sure you watch enough media to justify it. Some media such as the news and YouTube just does not justify it. Only get if you watch action movies or anything along those lines.

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!!!!!!

I upgraded my WiFi network to WiFi 7 and for some strange reason, my original Sonos Arc would no longer connect. So, I picked up the Sonos Arc Ultra to see if it would work and am I ever glad I did. Not only does it work with my new network, but the sound is vastly improved over the original Arc, which is no slouch itself. I was amazed by the sound stage and ambience produced by the Arc Ultra and the new details that I could hear in various soundtracks. The bass response of the Arc Ultra has also been improved dramatically and in a smaller room it would be more than adequate on its own. For the real deal and full earthshaking sound, I would still recommend adding the Sonos subwoofer. This combination is hard to beat. So, if you’re in the market for a new or upgraded high-end excellent soundbar, I’d highly recommend the Arc Ultra. It was chosen as the best soundbar of the year (2024) by one of the online tech magazines and, in my opinion, has certainly earned that spot. NOTE: Sonos released an update to the Arc that fixed the network connection issue for me, so I moved the original arc into another room where I was using a Playbar and retired the Playbar.
