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...

Wide, tall sound, Impressive bass response, Adept with music as well as movies, Cracking control app (even in beta)
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...
Great Dolby Atmos performance,Excellent sound even without extra height channels,Alexa and Google Assistant on board,Easy to setup and integrate with Sonos multiroom solution
Requires compatible TV for Dolby Atmos support,No source input,Only single-band (2.4GHz) Wi-Fi
The Sonos Arc is a highly-accomplished bit of kit. There are caveats: it will only work with the Sonos S2 software, so cannot be part of the same multi-room setup as older legacy kit; and, without a separate source input on the bar, your TV needs to have...

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...
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 $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...
