Excellent Upgrade

I went from the Sonos Playbase, two surrounds, and woofer in a condo to the Arc and Woofer. Unbelievable sound. Beyond what I thought. In fact, having the sound forward (or in front) seems to be more pure and real. I noticed the sound is more natural and clearer than being broken to so many places (meaning the surround). I will tell you that switching experience was a bit of work. I had a professional swap out for me. You still need to understand the "Sonos" way to finish the change. You cannot just unplug and change. The app needs to know what you are doing. Support at Sonos was good. But I forget I could have gotten my support from Crutchfield. Otherwise, I highly recommend the "upgrade". Be sure to also understand that you need to have an HDMI Arc connection for the best experience. Otherwise, there is an optical adapter (included). NOTE: For those of you with hearing impairment and with hearing aids and cochlear systems, the Arc and Woofer setup is the best and so much less work in hearing the sound.

Excellent sound bar. I can finally hear dialogue clearly during movies and I haven't even turned on the dialogue enhancement. The biggest surprise is listening to music. The arc is an audiophiles dream. I would highly recommend adding the sub and surround speakers to really make movies and music excel.

Sonos Arc

Purchased this to replace my Denon receiver with full Klipsch speaker set-up and to my surprise this along with the Sonos Sub and a pair of Sonos surrounds are amazingly close to the sound i was previously achieving with my full system. I am amazed at the full array of sound being produced by the Arc, certainly made a believer out of me and really pleased the wife as she was not a fan of all the speakers around the living room.

YMMV, but in my room, Wow!

I used the Arc for a couple of weeks before my sub and surrounds arrived, and it sounded much better than the on board audio of my CX 77. However, I was honestly shocked by how well integrated and balanced the sonics became after properly installing the full system ( sub crawl, wall mounted ear level/toed-in surrounds ) and "Trueplay" tuning. The Arc is Ethernet hardwired which creates a mesh network with other Sonos speaker components, separate from other devices on my Wi-Fi. Offloading much of the bass onto the sub really opens up the soundbar with regard to musical transparency and dialog intelligibility, and side firing speakers on the Arc work really well with the SLs to effectively broaden the soundstage. My HT is a ~ 280 sq. ft. rectangle with an ( essentially ) central viewing position, relatively small openings to adjoining spaces and a flat, 8 ft. ceiling, so this likely helps with Atmos effects and overall audio performance, but the room has no acoustical treatments, just a mix of reflecting walls/hardwood flooring and sound absorbing furnishings/curtains. Overall I'm more than pleased with the value and performance of this investment, and the Sonos S2 app makes both initial set-up and regular use, seamlessly easy and ( thus far at least ) completely trouble free. One caveat: The Sonos Arc is best suited for a newer TV with ARC, preferably eARC ( enhanced audio return channel. )

poor performance

Despite several hours of troubleshooting I have not been able to use my Sonos One speakers to coordinate with my newly purchased ARC, as a surround sound setup. The Sonos chat promised a response over a week ago-no followup noted. Given these issues I would suggest another manufacturer should be used. The high price and poor performance is a malignant combination

Significantly better soundbar

I've had the original full sized Sonos sound bar for years. I was forever moving it around in my highly reflective room trying to hear the TV dialog. It was okay and worked well enough vs. the TV speakers, but I still needed ear phones to hear speech on many shows and movies. The Arc not only sounds better but it allows me to enjoy many more shows without additional head phones. Maybe it's the much improved center channel process. A very welcome improvement.

Great product. Sound a little quirky

I purchased this product as a sound bar for my Samsung Frame TV installation. Installation was tricky primarily due to the complexity of the Frame installation, but the finished product is beautiful and the sound is excellent. I have added a Sonos Subwoofer and plan to add two Sonos One speakers for surround. I was frustrated in that initially the sound worked, then didn't work, then went in and out. Following some internet research, I unplugged the Arc and replugged it in to reset it. Following this, so far so good.

Best bang for your buck

This sound bar has really impressed me. Let me start with the packaging (which I know has nothing to do with sound quality or ease of use) which is lets you know you are getting a premium product. It is a well constructed box with locking tabs that allows it to be opened easily. Once opened the sound bar itself is wrapped is a sleeve of soft material specifically made for it. Setup was a breeze the app was very easy to use and within a few minutes it was up and running. I immediately turned on the voice enhancement and was blown away by what a difference it made in shows / movies I have watched before. The room I have it in is not very big and I can say the sound bar by itself produces a more than enough bass for me. I wanted a sound bar with Dolby Atmos that did not require a sub or surrounds and I'm very pleased with it so far. The nice part about this system is I can always expand it down the round if I decide to put it in a bigger room. If you are considering this sound bar do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. You will not be disappointed.

Clear and loud

It's as great as all the other reviews state. By itself in a small room, it would be all you need. But in a larger room, like where our main TV is, I would recommend getting the sub and S1's for your rear speakers. We were having trouble hearing the dialog on our old 5.1 system, even though I was using Definitive Technology speakers, which ain't cheap. But with the Arc, every word comes through crystal clear. With the sub and rear speakers, it definitely outperforms my old 5.1 system. The only problem I ran into was with the HDMI cable that Sonos supplied with the ARC. It would not recognize that I was plugged into the ARC input on my TV. I had to use my high speed HDMI cable for it to work. As far as playing music, I was not impressed with it. I would rather listen to music with my Yamaha receiver and Definitive Technology speakers.

Solid Choice for Movies and Music

Bought this to complete my 65" LG OLED TV and I couldn't be more pleased. I use it for both TV sound and music. I did not add the sub or surround back speakers and do not plan to do so in my space. For me, the base is very substantial to the extent that I keep it set in the -6 range. If you want feel the thunder, especially in Dolby Atmos you will get it from this sound bar. eARC connection is a plus and the Sonos app works well. I use IOS and it is a seamless addition to Apple HomeKit. Of course Crutchfield is amazing. It was sold out everywhere. I ordered on Sept. 15 with an estimated backorder ship date of Sept. 30 and it shipped on the 23rd.

Great sound quality

I love the ARC but it is not totally perfect. One issue I have run into is that I have a receiver also connected to my LG CX and sometimes the TV and Arc will not communicate. The Sonos app shows that the Arc can't communicate with the TV and it tells you to unplug all the other connections to your TV. I am not sure if this a Arc/eArc issue but obviously it is known by Sonos since there are intructions in their app. I added a simple HDMI switch between the receiver and TV to fix the issue. The sound quality is great but I did find some bass issues. Using Trueplay, it sounded like the Arc speakers were getting too much bass for their size and they were distorting (there is a long post on the Sonos site about this). Disabling Trueplay got rid of most of this. I ended up adding a sub and SL for surrounds. I have to say the sound now is truly amazing. Adding a sub really improves the sound bar sound in all the frequencies which was a big surprise to me. I think adding the sub allows the 11 sound bar speakers to focus on the mid and highs instead of bass because when toggling the sub off and on you can really hear a big difference in vocals and the mids. They are much brighter and clearer when the sub is active. I have a fairly expensive home theater system and while the Arc can't compete in overall bass, when it comes to sound quality the Arc is right up there and maybe even better is some aspects!

A Great Do-All Sound Bar

The Sonos Arc is sort of the Swiss Army Knife of sound bars! With its many drivers, it provides a full audio spectrum of frequencies except for the very lowest for which a subwoofer is recommended. (I had a Sonos Sub which does improve performance for both music and streamed TV material.) The Arc also does a reasonably good job of passing surround sound material without needing separate surround speakers. It's ability to process Dolby Atmos sound through its up-facing drivers is certainly a plus; just be sure the source, be it TV, streaming service or DVD, is passing an Atmos signal to the Arc. Setup is easy and quick even for a first time Sonos user. All in, the Arc is a cleverly designed and superior accessory which provides excellent sound quality, without the need of add-on devices like a home theater receiver, additional speakers and associated required wiring.

Great sound

I was blown away by the Sonos Arc's soundstage. When paired with the Gen 3 Sub, and the One SLs for the surrounds, that is where this system truly came alive. I found myself completely immersed in clear, distortion-free, powerful sound. This soundbar is my first and I was concerned that it wouldn't be able to produce the same quality of sound I was experiencing with my existing wired 5.1 system. I am glad I was wrong, and the investment was worth it. In addition, the Arc was sold out everywhere including Sonos' store. With my previous positive experiences with Crutchfield, I decided to order through them even though it wasn't immediately available. I was excited to learn they were able to get it shipped out to me within a week, when I was hearing that through other outlets it was taking upwards of a month to get.

The Arc is an incredible soundbar

After years of just using the TV speakers, it is so nice to have crystal clear audio and a full sound! The Sonos Arc is an amazing soundbar. We have a 16x20 room with 10ft vaulted ceilings that peak at 15ft and we are using just this soundbar, which fills the whole room with quality sound! Since we have such a large room, I will be saving up for the Sonos Sub and the two rear wireless surrounds for movies. Ivy at Crutchfield was a great help and appreciated her advice as she walked me through several options I was considering and she recommended the Sonos Arc after answering all my questions. As one key criteria, I was looking for a soundbar that would tune to the room given the somewhat unique family room we have to make sure it was money well spent. We use the Airplay feature all the time so we can play music without having the TV turn on (and AirPlaying through our AppleTV). It was a breeze to set up before we had a family movie night on the same day it arrived. Also, we appreciate that it has night sound and dialogue enhancement. The Sonos app is easy to use and great to control the soundbar. Crutchfield truly cares about their customers and gives great advice - couldn't be happier!

Great Soundbar with one minor glitch! Attention Sony Owners

After much research and deliberation, I landed on the Sonos Arc as my new soundbar selection. I paired the Arc with the Sonos Subwoofer and a pair of One SL speakers as my rear units. Overall the soundbar exceeds my expectations but I'm glad I added the sub and SL's since our room is on the larger side. The sound is very rich in any production utilizing Atmos sound, my reason for purchase. Setup was seamless and easy with the new Sonos app via IOS. I couldn't recommend this soundbar and the Sonos architecture enough. I'm adding a Sonos Beam to my bedroom next. One note on a glitch with this soundbar if you're a newer Sony TV owner. I paired the Arc with a Sony A9G 65" Bravia and the CEC channel via the Arc connection put my Bravia TV into sleep mode after approx 2 mins of viewing from any video source. I After multiple calls and troubleshooting exercises I found a CEC less HDMI connector which remedied the problem. If I had not located this fix, it would change my decision as audio would have been without Dolby Atmos as the connection must be via EARC for this option.

Soundbar Jackpot

A recent cross country move let me without a surround sound speaker system for our TV. I decided it was time to make the move to a soundbar. My goal was to find a soundbar that could recreate a quality surround sound without adding any additional speakers or bass unit. I quickly settled on the Sonos Arc when reading early reviews. My dilemna soon became one of which comes first, the horse or the cart. My 10 year old big screen plasma tv still works great but alas it has no hdmi eArc input. I couldn't afford to upgrade both at the same time. A chat with a Crutchfield agent convinced me that my 10 year TV would still greatly benefit from the Sonos Arc. He was right. Even using the digital input, the sound at times is extremely impressive. What really stands out is the clarity of the dialogue! I'm planning on a new TV after the first of the year and looking forward to the entire performance of Dolby Atmos which, I'm confident, will rate a 5 out of 5 stars.

Best feature is no wires except for the power cords. Setting up was a breeze with the Sonos App. The App also has Trueplay which establishes the location where you sit watching TV, then sends out various sounds as you walk around the room to establish the acoustics of the room. I was impressed with this feature. The App also allows changing the bass and treble. Great sound bar.
