SonosArc Ultra Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Control - 9.1.4 Surround Sound for TV and Music - Black

Great sound, nice app, easy set up. I researched a bunch of options, some cheaper, some more expensive, and settled in the middle. I wasn't disappointed. The soundbar worked great alone, but I loved it so much I added the Eros 300’s just because I wanted to get more of the surround sound attributes. The soundbar alone essentially improves the tv sound quality exponentially, but doesn't give the surround feel… but if your just looking for the depth, quality of sound, and clarity of speech to improve your tv experience this bar wont disappoint! We were able to stop using closed captioning with the bar alone, huge win!!Side note - even the packaging and instructions are impressive from Sonos, they do everything top notch

I had seen good reviews of this soundbar and decided to take the plunge. I have an older Samsung HU9000 curved 4k TV in my living room that only has ARC, not eARC, but it works fine. The Sonos sound is really, really good. The bass response is ridiculously good for a unit this size. Movies and TV sound great, but I was missing Atmos. A new device was just released by CableMatters that allows me to plug my Apple TV into the Sonos. And wow, I mean wow, the Atmos effects are spectacular. I have a Nakamichi Dragon in my home theater which totally blows this away in terms of power, authority, and transparency (not really fair because I don't have the full Sonos setup), but the Atmos effects are surprisingly even better than the Dragon, and the Dragon is amazing. I would say that Sonos totally owns the spatial department, especially with just a minimum setup like I have for my living room.As far as sound I would compare it to a Bose system because it sets up its EQ and surround volumes as a plug and play setup with the app, which is awesome. It has its own warm, rich sound that reminds me of the Bose. It has a really well-tuned and pleasing sound for all types of media. The only drawback is that it does not support DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS:X which I consider the gold standard when it comes to watching movies. Almost all the studios seem to be going to Atmos anyway (sad face) so it won't matter anyway for the future. Also, not having at least one additional HDMI input port was a bad decision on somebody's part.Overall I love this soundbar and if I ever want to expand I have the option to add subs and rear speakers in the future. But honestly, the sound is so good with just the bar that I really have no need to do that. This is a real steal for this price point.

Okay, I'm moving away from my old Denon AVR and wired speakers to the world of the soundbar.It was either the Sonos or Samsung, and I went with Sonos because I already have 10 other Sonos products, and I liked the idea of them all tied together. That, and from my research, this would be better than the Samsung if I didn't want to add a sub.I'm using the Arc with two ERA 100's as rears, and I'm very impressed.With movies, I'm not missing my AVR at all. Great spatial sound, especially with the rears installed. The clarity of the dialogue is phenomenal, and I haven't had to use the speech enhancement functionality at all.For music? Yeah, this is the weakness. It is "fine" but not great. Adding the two ERA's in the same room definitely helps. Using two ERA 100's linked together does better than the ARC for just music. That said, when not "comparing" it to an AVR, it is solid in terms of music performance.This soundbar is obviously made more for movies than music. I would give it 5 stars for movie watching and 4 stars for a casual music listener.The benefits of having my entire home linked together and the ability to pick and choose what I want to upgrade (and when) make me happy with my choice overall.In terms of the app...I will add that it looks like Sonos has finally gotten over the NIGHTMARE issues with their app. It is still not 100% in terms of all the functionality it should have, but it has been working great for me in the last 4 or 5 months. Enough so that I added this soundbar and 4 new ERA 100's in the previous couple of months.Overall, very happy.

We received this quickly and it was very easy to hook up. We were disappointed that it didn’t use a remote, but we were able to pair it with our main remote. So far we are satisfied with the sound.

Great product, exquisite sound ! The only problem is with the setup. That portion could be a little bit clearer for us older folks. But figured it out and within about 20 minutes up and running, couldn’t be happier with the purchase

My old Bose Lifestyle system stopped working. Replaced it with the Sonas Arc Ultra that was just recently on sale. Very happy. Sound is amazing. Will eventually add the Eros 300 's for the rear and add a sub. Although the Arc Ultra as a stand alone, is pretty impressive.

SPeakers sound good, but are marred by these things solely depending on having a PHONE. Stupidest thing I've ever seen where a software engineer is unable to at the very least make an application for your PC!!! If you buy these and dont own an idiot phone, then you cant use them.

Excellent sound clarity and Dolby atmos!
