Excellent audio quality for TV and music, Handsome design should blend into most decor, Trueplay auto-tuning takes the pain out of EQ setup, Sounds even better with easily-added wireless rear speakers
The Dolby Atmos ecosystem is frustratingly patchy, Only compatible with other speakers running Sonos S2, Can't add dedicated overhead speakers for Atmos
As with so many Sonos products before it, part of Arc's charm is its convenience. One speaker, one power cable, one HDMI cable – all three of which are in the box – and in theory you're up and running. Any subsequent frustration comes from the nature of t...
Improved sound stage vs. Playbar, Decent bass, clear vocals, Dolby Atmos support via eARC, Expandable: Rear speakers & subwoofer, Sonos multi-room
No HDMI input (only eARC), Unconvincing Atmos, Lacks mid-range control, Choice of materials
With Arc, Sonos has launched its first Dolby Atmos-capable product and the ability to wirelessly connect rear speakers and a subwoofer to the soundbar make it versatile choice with a reasonable starting price, although the full package is as expensive as...

Sonos has finally given us an upgrade to the Playbar, and it's impressive. The Arc has an improved design, modern features and stellar sound. Like the Beam, it only has one HDMI port, which will be an issue for some. However, if you have a TV that support...
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

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...
