    Arc Ultra Amazing

    At first I was disapointed it would not work with my Denon receiver. Once I connected the Arc Ultra as recommended, I realized how much the sound improved and cable clutter is gone. The app has also made significant improvements since I bought my old Sonos 1 speaker. I am planning to complement the Arc Ultra with additional Sonos speakers and base. But the Arc alone fills the house with amazing sound. The only thing I was missing is the optical connection. But Sonos had an adaptor that works well and is only $25. So thank you Sonos!

    This sound bar is amazing. I replaced a Sonos Beam with the Arc Ultra and the difference is unbelievable. I no longer need to turn up my sonos system to the max as the new Arc ultra put out amazing sound. I have it paired with two ERA 300s and the sonos bass module. Overall, the system is truly exceptional.

    Arc Ultra Soundbar with Sub 4 Wireless Subwoofer

    We watched an action movie a couple of nights ago, and one scene in particular absolutely blew us away—a thrilling gunfight in the middle of the street. The sound design was so immersive, it genuinely felt like we were right there in the action. It was an unforgettable experience! Our current setup includes a six-year-old Samsung 65-inch TV, which doesn’t support Dolby Atmos sound. After experiencing how much difference great audio can make, I’ve decided it’s finally time for an upgrade. A new TV will definitely be on the list once we repaint the family room!

    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.

    Huge upgrade to our current sound system. We haven't tried ATMOS yet (our TV doesn't have eARC) but the Dolby 5.1 is phenomenal. Completely changed the way we watch movies. Integrated itself easily into our existing sonos system. Also, I LOVE true tone tuning. Always feels like the sound fills up the room afterwards.

    The sound bar sounds fantastic and has made all shows much better, especially watching sports. Also, it easily ties into the Sonos app with my other Sonos speakers. Great sound, easy setup, high price-but worth it price.

    For those on the fence to upgrade from their Sonos Arc, I can tell you it is a noticeable improvement. Music, movies , just run the gamut, it all sounds better. Dialogue, especially. We’ve found we use about half the amount of volume needed to get the “same effect” as the OG Arc. With that being said, I upgraded because I had a gift card ( only paid $4 out of my pocket ). Without the gift card I likely wouldn’t have even tested the Ultra out in my home against the OG Arc. But, I’m glad I did, the difference is tangible. I know this is annoying as I’ve seen many reviewers say this: if you have the money or can sell the OG arc for $400, maybe, I’d say go for it. If not, the last gen Arc is still incredible. I kept mine, it’s just be demoted to my bedroom.

    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!

    Soundbar replaced my Bose Series 35. Very close in sound quality. I believe if I add the Sonos bass unit it will meet or exceed the Bose sound quality.

    I bought a full package Sonos system, 100s in the rear for bedroom and 300s for the rear in living room, but wanted to test the arc ultra first in case I didn't like it so I can return everything, but once I turned on the center arc channel, I couldn't believe how much sound and Atmos came out of this center channel. I immediately unboxed the rest of my system and I could not believe that these outdo the famous Bose cubes of the past. I highly recommend. Quality and sound is such a step into the future… Which is now our preset :)

    I purchased the Sonos Arc sound bar on its own for now, and the sound is absolutely incredible! This is my first-ever Sonos purchase, and I’m already blown away. The clarity, depth, and immersive surround effect make everything—from movies to music—sound next level. I also love that it pairs and syncs perfectly with Alexa, making it super easy to control. I definitely plan to add more Sonos products to my home after experiencing how impressive the Arc is. Highly recommend!

    I recently purchased the Sonos Arc 2, and it has completely elevated my home audio experience. The sound quality is phenomenal—crystal-clear dialogue, immersive surround effects, and deep, rich bass. It truly brings movies, music, and even everyday TV shows to life. The Dolby Atmos integration creates an expansive soundstage that makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action. The setup was straightforward, and the app provides a seamless way to fine-tune the system to your room. On top of its performance, the sleek and modern design fits perfectly into my living room decor. The Arc 2 is worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for premium sound quality and a hassle-free setup.

    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.
