  • Convincing Dolby Atmos, Dynamic, detailed and weighty, All of the usual Sonos smarts,
  • Music could be better projected, Heavily reliant on your TV's specs,
  • That slight lack of directness to music is our only criticism of the Arc. It really is a stunning performer, delivering one of the most immersive Dolby Atmos experiences we've heard from a soundbar. Only the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar is better in this reg...

  • Expansive, well-defined and invigorating sound, Good impression of audio height and width, Fine spec, Ample control options,
  • Slightly bumpy frequency response, Some treble stridency, No MQA support,
  • Despite a few issues with the sound, the Arc has plenty to recommend with its large soundstage and well-defined sound. If you're already in the Sonos system, there's little reason to look for any other Dolby Atmos alternativesProsExpansive, well-defined a...

  • No HDMI inputs, Not ideal for all music genres
  • Yes. For Sonos users, the Sonos Arc is an absolute no-brainer. It's $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 or an...

  • Sonos is no stranger to high-quality audio. Ever since its first speakers, the company has been known as a great option for those who want solid audio quality at an affordable price. That can be seen in its latest soundbar, the Sonos Ray, which comes at $...

  • So, with my tales of woe, does the Arc still deserve a Star Component Award? Assuming the sound problems are caused by the ‘handshake' between Sony and downstream, and can be sorted, it does. It's a marvellous soundbar. Worth every penny. And if you're pl...

  • Exceptional sound, mimics true surround-sound quite well, multiple sound modes, Alexa/Google Assistant built-in,
  • Expensive, very large
  • The Sonos Arc is one of the best and most capable soundbars ever made, and it is priced accordingly

  • The Arc at $799 is a worthy successor to the successful Playbar. Would I upgrade? Yes. It's an easy decision when comparing sound and musical effects. The Arc is a superior soundbar. Sure, it's intended for home theatre, got lots of bells and whistles, lo...
