  • Abstract:  TVs have certainly gotten thinner, slimmer and lighter, but all of that fat-trimming has come with one major casualty: audio fidelity. Built-in TV speakers today are often times much worse than they were on flat-panels that came to market back in 2005-10...

  • Really wide and immersive soundscape, Atmos support was needed and delivered, Clean and modern design
  • No built-in smart TV stuff, Needs to run on S2 app, At this price a remote would be nice
  • "Even at its most basic non-Dolby Atmos settings, it still sounds fantastic and will likely be a significant upgrade over most other soundbars"...

  • Excellent Dolby Atmos 5.0.2 (5.1.2 with the Sub), Room-shaking sub, Premium product at a premium price, Part of the Sonos multi-room experience, Rear surrounds add extra depth
  • ou need a DA TV and HDMI eARC to make the best use of this, No BT or Chromecast for music, You should run Trueplay to t, Long – make sure it fits your TV stand

  • Audio performance, Design, Sonos music services, Voice assistants
  • No optical, Not compatible with Playbar mount
  • During my time with the Sonos Arc, I've been seriously impressed with its audio performance. Ideally, you'd pair the Arc with a Sonos Sub and two rear speakers, for the ultimate experience. For those that are chasing an upgrade on their TVs build-in speak...
