Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

Dolby Atmos sends effects via the ceiling to your listening position, making the sound extra spacious.
With the integrated Google Assistant you control the soundbar via voice commands.
Trueplay ensures that the sound of your speaker is adjusted to suit the acoustics of your room.
The soundbar doesn't have Bluetooth to connect your smartphone to the bar.

Description

With the Sonos Arc, you can listen to better audio with your television. The soundbar has 8 woofers and 3 tweeters, so you can enjoy detailed audio from every listening position. This brings your favorite movie or series to life. Thanks to the 5 channels, you're surrounded by surround sound. The built-in Dolby Atmos technology reflects the sound from the ceiling to your listening position. This makes it sound like the plane from the movie is really flying over your head. You can also adjust the sound to the acoustics of your room via TruePlay. The soundbar then sounds good from every corner of the room. You can only do this with iOS devices. In the Sonos app, you can manually adjust the sound via the equalizer. For example, you can reduce the bass. The soundbar also has Google Assistant, so you can control it via voice commands.

Note: Sonos products don't work via the 5GHz network. Make sure your WiFi is set up on the 2.4GHz network before you purchase a Sonos product.

Sonos puts itself back on the map with the Arc

design
Top sound both music and TV
App works very well
Missing an extra HDMI connection

After 20 years, we moved away from a large loudspeaker and a full-fledged surround receiver, to switch to this Sonos Arc.

Have to say I'm really impressed with the sound. I already had two Sonos One SL that I now use as surround speakers. Where I had often heard its predecessor the Playbar with friends and I was not really impressed, I am now. My opinion is that I don't need the Sonos subwoofer. The only real downside is the lack of an extra HDMI connection, so I can't connect my Nvidia Shield directly to the Arc since my Samsung QLED does not transmit Dolby Atmos. For the rest very satisfied.

IN ADDITION I WANT TO MAKE A BIG COMPLIMENT TO COOLBLUE. I ORDERED A SECOND CHANCE AND THAT WAS AN MISTAKE ON THE SITE. I FINALLY GOT A NEW FROM THEM FOR THE PRICE OF THE SECOND CHANCE. MAY ALSO BE SAYED.

TOP COMPANY.

ease of use

I was watching Mission Impossible with Dolby Atmos of course and it is a world of difference with the old playbar the Sonos Arc has a richer sound reproduction and makes the sound that comes out of the play one also sound better
