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...

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...
Great sound quality, Easy to use and set up, Google Assistant and Alexa support
Slightly bright sound, Only one HDMI connection
The Sonos Arc is a fabulous product. Indeed, it's the best standalone soundbar in this price bracket I've listened to and it copes well with all types of source material. Atmos works well, dialogue is clear and it's musical enough to be your main living r...

Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, Discrete all-in-one soundbar, Amazing surround sound and music playback
Doesn't suit every room, Trueplay Tuning is iOS only, Smart assistant integration limited
The Arc from Sonos is a streamlined soundbar that offers a premium surround sound experience without the need for supplementary speakers. If you want a minimalist surround sound package and you have a squarish home cinema room then the Sonos Arc is an exc...

Treble has attitude, Slightly uneven frequency response, No MQA support
The part of the Sonos model range most in need of attention is now dealt with - and pretty impressively, at that. The Arc isn't your default choice of Dolby Atmos soundbar-cum-audio system, but it needs to be on your shortlist. Stuff says. Sonos Arc...
