Lots of sonos in my home. So i was pretty hyped up for this new ultra. Sounds great with dolby atmos. I have 2 full setups and more. One with original arc. One with arc ultra. Both setups have era 300s and one gen 3 sub. I personally very little change. Yes voices are a little clearer compared to original arc. But not enough to really notice going back and forth between the two setups. Either speaker great when setup with subs and rears. But no need for selling and upgrading.

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!!!!!!

The Arc Ultra is my first Sonos product. Quick and easy setup through plug and play and the Sonos app. Minimalist look. I've only been using it for a few days, but I am pleased with the sound so far. I plan to get the Sub Mini for a little extra "oomph", but I would be happy with just the Arc Ultra.

I've tried many different soundbars, including BIG names on the market, this one is by far THE BEST! Paired it with my LG C5 and I was blown away how great this thing is! The oled tvs are getting thinner and thinner, so it's impossible to put decent sounding speakers in them and that's when soundbar comes into play. The installation was a breeze and the Sonos app works great!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

excellent piece of equipment with great sound! I like the way it mounts to the bottom of the television unit, creating a nice compact and streamlined look

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.
Worth the $, Bluetooth added on the ultra is great

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!
