  • Excellent surround sound, Easy and simple setup, Decent Dolby Atmos from a single speaker, Choice of Alexa or Google Assistant
  • No HDMI inputs, Not ideal for all music genres
  • Yes. For Sonos users, the Sonos Arc is an absolute no-brainer. It's just $100 more than the Playbar it replaces, yet it offers better sound, Dolby Atmos, AirPlay 2, voice assistants, and more. As long as you're OK with having to use your TV's HDMI inputs...

  • expensive, ARC/eARC rather than HDMI passthrough, takes up a port on your TV, can have lipsync issues like any soundbar
  • The Sonos Arc is a big, sleek, premium soundbar that sounds every bit as good as you'd expect from a £799 speaker.It looks the part. Despite being about the length of a 55in TV, it is neither thick nor tall which makes it easier to position on the wall or...

  • Surround sound speakers make audio more immersive, Sub adds cinematic levels of bass, TruePlay makes everything work beautifully,
  • Sub is very expensive,
  • As impressive as the Dolby Atmos soundbar was, the system can get better with a Sonos Arc Surround Sound Package. Adding two identical speakers for the rear channels gives better positional audio and a more immersive experience, making this an essential u...

  • Doesn't suit every room, Trueplay Tuning is iOS only, Smart assistant integration limited
