I’m really impressed with this speaker. The sound quality is clear with strong bass and crisp highs, even at higher volumes. It connects easily via Bluetooth and stays connected without cutting out. The battery life is excellent and lasts me all day without needing to recharge.
The design is sleek and feels durable, making it easy to take anywhere. Whether I’m using it for music, movies, or small gatherings, it performs great every time. For the price, this speaker definitely exceeds expectations.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable speaker with great sound quality!

The sonos arc ultra is a nice upgrade to the sonos arc. It is certainly not a significant upgrade. It is more of a refinement as it is 15%-20% better than the sonos arc. The improvements are better bass and voices from the arc ultra. It is definitely worth the $100 price difference between the arc and the arc ultra. However, if you currently have an arc, you will not notice a huge improvement. The arc is an amazing sound bar, one of the best, the arc ultra is slightly better. I believe the arc ultra is better than both the bose ultra and the bravia theater bar 9, offering better bass and clearer and crisper voices. Music is also much better on the arc ultra than either of these two sound bars.

I love my soundbar. I use it all the time and when watching movies its amazing. The bass is deep and there is no need for a sub in smaller rooms. I love it and recommend it to everyone.

Excellent soundbar when paired with the Sonos Sub 4. If you dont want a whole complex home audio system then this is it. Sennheiser Ambeo products were next in line but I saw some mixed reveiws so I went with Sonos. Now with the arc and sub (& new hdmi cable) I'm basically at $2,000. Thats not an easy pill to swallow but I decided daddy needed a treat. The audio is great, the dialog is exceptional coming from a top-of-the-line Denon product. Set up was a breeze and it take a few extra minutes to run updates. If you are not super picky about audio, you could probably buy a handful of other 2.1 systems that will get you close for at least $1,200 less. If the money isnt an issue, pull the trigger and pick this up ASAP, dont think twice.

Very easy to connect good quality sound, willneed at least yhe subwoofer to be Great quality sound. Make sure you check your settings on your tv. I went ahead and ordered a 15 foor hdmi arc cable since it was being connected to a 98 inch tv. The one provided was not nearly long enough. Assumed that when the tv found the soundbar it would eliminate the tv speakers. It did not. Much better now that I have found that setting and all the sound is exclusively through the arc ultra. Would buy again.

This adds the sound that was needed. Super easy to connect and use with the app. I can not wait to purchase a few more of the SONOS brand to add the surround sound I have always wanted.

I have other Sonos products and am impressed with those. I was hesitant on this purchase due to the price point, but overall I’m super happy with it and would do it again. The sound is amazing. The virtual surround sound is impressive. Dialog of regular tv is great. That was always a struggle with previous center channel speakers. They were too muddy. The bass is substantial for a sound bar. Not the equivalent as a dedicated sub but more than you could ask for from a sound bar. Can’t wait to complete the home theater with full surround and sub at some point.

This is my first foray into higher end sound bars. I moved to Sonos from a $150 TCL soundbar.
The sound quality is spectacular. It’s a massive difference from the cheap stuff. The soundbar does a great job isolating voices and making it easy to understand movies and shows. The atmos works well, but isn’t perfect. It depends a lot on where you are sitting in relation to the soundbar, too (head on, to the side, etc.)
The biggest issue I had was, once I got it, I wanted more. This soundbar gives you a taste of what could be an OUTSTANDING audio set up. Naturally, I had to get the Sub Mini to go with it.
Adding the sub makes this a 100% solutions for a basic high-end setup. You’ll want for nothing.
Adding rear speakers takes it to the next level. Then you get a complete surround sound experience.
Everything synced perfectly with the app and setup was fast. The EQ settings work well and make a noticeably impact.
Let me reiterate - you can get this, and only this, and be perfectly happy. Blown away, even, by the fidelity and quality. However, Sonos makes it SO EASY to integrate other components that you may find yourself dropping another $1000 (or two…) and creating an amazing soundscape for yourself.
Then, of course, you’ll be upgrading your TV because if the sound is so good the picture better be as well…
I guess what I’m saying is that once you get a taste it can snowball ;)
It’s a perfect jumping off point, though, as you can add to it over time.

Just upgraded from the Arc, paired with a Gen 3 sub, to the Arc Ultra. The Ultra is louder, has better bass, and better clarity. It’s worth the upgrade. I appreciate the Bluetooth pairing that’s added so I can pair directly to the bar without needing to use the app. Compared to the Arc, the ultra is a few inches longer but has a lower profile since it’s an inch shorter. Love that I was able to use the same wall mount from the Arc. Overall happy with my purchase and lucky the Ultra was released within my return period from my Arc purchase.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Arc Ultra! We're thrilled to hear that the upgraded sound quality, enhanced bass, and improved clarity are delivering exactly what you were hoping for. It’s great that the Bluetooth pairing feature has added convenience to your setup, and that the streamlined design works well in your space, even with the original Arc wall mount.
It sounds like the Ultra upgrade has been a perfect fit for you. We appreciate your support and are glad to hear you're enjoying your new setup! If you have any questions or need further assistance with optimizing your sound system, please don’t hesitate to reach out at support.sonos.com. Thank you for being a part of the Sonos community!

The sound out of this thing is very impressive. I have vaulted ceilings that are very high so getting good surround sound in the past has been challenging. I don't know what this soundbar is doing but that is no longer an issue - everything in Dolby Atmos sounds amazing and there's enough bass to satisfy - with dialogue that is very clear. Highly recommended! The only downside to this product is that it can only be controlled via the Sonos app - there is no dedicated remote.

First sound bar owned and I have to say it is beyond what I expected. The sound quality is really good. Sounds like I have surround with just the one speaker. It was so easy to mount and setup. I purchased a 3rd party mount for much cheaper on Amazon. Setup was seamless. I enjoy the music connect apps like Pandora. I do not have the Sub4, but will likely be my next purchase to really hit the lows.
