Sonos Arc
The Sonos Arc can do justice to cutting-edge movie soundtracks and music, making it yet another great-going-on-brilliant speaker
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
Able to do justice to cutting-edge movie soundtracks and music too, the Arc is yet another great-going-on-brilliant Sonos speaker

Sonos Arc review
The Sonos Arc is the company's biggest and beefiest soundbar even now, a few years on from its release. While we're not sure if the device gets its name from the HDMI interface it uses, the curved sound it pitches or the fact that it is perhaps,...
Dynamic and powerful sound Discrete all-in-one soundbar Superb with music or movies
No DTS/DTS:X support No HDMI passthrough Trueplay Tuning is iOS only
The Sonos Arc is an impressive and premium Dolby Atmos experience even without a subwoofer or extra speakers. New soundbars offer even better positional sound effects, but when it comes to dynamic audio that's perfectly clear from a single-box package,...

Sonos Arc review
What Hi-Fi? Awards 2022 winner. Sonos's first Dolby Atmos soundbar is still an absolute belter
Convincing Dolby Atmos ; Dynamic, detailed and controlled ; All of the usual Sonos smarts
Music could be better projected ; Some rivals sound weightier ; No HDMI pass-through ports
Simple to set up, lovely to live with and supremely capable, the Sonos Arc is a soundbar of rare quality

Sonos Arc review: Dolby Atmos soundbar delivers big sound
With the Playbar released over eight years ago, a replacement is long overdue. Behold the Sonos Arc - a Dolby Atmos soundbar for a new generation.
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
Sonos has not only followed up its previous full-fledged soundbar offering, it has improved it in every way possible. The Arc is a superb Dolby Atmos soundbar – right up there with the best – and has all the bells and whistles of Sonos' multi-room...

Sonos Arc review: a superb Dolby Atmos soundbar
“Sonos finally gets around to inventing Dolby Atmos”
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
At last, Sonos is able to give you the big-screen sound to go with those big-screen pictures.
