Would like to see the Sonos Arc Bowers Wilkins formation bar . Which is better and Why ?
no passthrough is a massive bummer…would be perfect otherwise for what I am looking for. All 4 of my HDMI ports are filled on my TV
By separate bracket, … I used two screws and it sits just fine for my playbar. Save that $79.
TV look… Small compare with the sound bar!
The Sonos Arc…Arc..Arc..Arc..Arcccc
Sound wise for movies. Sonos Arc with sub and surrounds or Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2.4? Anyone hear both setups? I’m trying to decide between the two.
I just don’t trust Sonos anymore. I told my Dad years ago to get in on Sonos for ease of playing music in the house and then we preceded to get the Playbase for him on release. Everything ‘works’ but when it has any issues, you can hardly fix anything yourself. With any other setup I can go over and quickly fix everything up, not so much with this ‘Apple’ style of a company. I get the same issue with their Eero Mesh router setup. You can’t even port forward a range, you have to forward EACH port separately.
It’s your uptalk more than the echo that I find horrendous.
Sonos is failing in a lot of areas. Still no true play feature for os devices. Also no DTS support. I understand more people stream movies but people still use blu ray. Samsung and LG although not as good looking has everything Sonos has and more.
I went beam 2 ones and a sub almost same price but feel a more dynamic sound
I have an Xbox one x and a LG 4K HDR tv. So this soundbar sounds great for me.
Any plans for a firmware update for this soundbar to support DTS:X?
So, is the HDMI port on the Arc eARC-enabled?
can you please compare it with the Bose Soundbar 700?
What lamp is that at 1.29
I have the old surround system of Sonos. Now I thinking about upgrading. Does someone knows if I also need to buy the new Sonos 1 speakers with touch and the new subwoofer which is also mentioned here? Or is it enough to only upgrade the ARC ???
800 bucks ! No thanks. I don’t care how good it is
I just want it back in stock so I can buy it already!!!!!
What’s your openion on B&O sound stage ??
Question: have you heard of any lip sync issues with the Arc? I have a 2019 LG C9 oled tv which has eArc apparently. If so, that would be a deal breaker for me.
The Playbar is mounted upside down. Reference Sonos’ own website. It does make a difference because of the remote transmitter and the angle of the drivers.
This bar is compatible with earc?, is that I see that it’s just Arc. This or earc samsung Q90?
So pricey tho
How to connect subwoofer to soundbar
Bought the Arc and returned it. Sounds garbage! Thud bass, quiet dialogues, no mids and bright highs.
How this is compared to Sennheiser Ambeo?
Unacceptable echo from a CNET video.
I own both the Bose 700 and the Sonos Arc. I love both of them. The Arc sounds great with movies, but sounds terrible with music. I keep the Arc in my movie room. The Bose sits in my family room. The Bose is also excellent for movies as long as you get the sub AND rears. The Bose without those sounds terrible. But if you complete the whole system it sounds amazing!! Especially with music. If you only want a soundbar (without sub or rears), then Sonos all day. If you can afford the whole system, then I would say go Bose.

The audio of this video is trash
Thanks for the review and information. I just purchased an ARC. Side note: was your lav mic even on?
“Why the Sonos Arc raises the (sound-)bar” it was right there cnet!
Between the sonos arc and the bose 900 sound bar which of this two sounds better?
