What customers say
The Sonos Arc offers an impressive, immersive sound experience with exceptional Dolby Atmos and clear dialogue. Its integration into the Sonos ecosystem is seamless, enabling easy setup and multiroom audio. The sleek design complements home aesthetics. While the price is premium, many users find the outstanding audio quality and ecosystem stability justify the investment for advanced spatial audio. Despite minor compatibility notes with older TVs regarding HDMI eARC, the Arc is widely regarded as a top tier audio solution, delivering significant value for its performance and user friendly operation.
Know before you buy
Sound Motion™ is a breakthrough transducer technology that allows the Arc Ultra to produce significantly more bass and power from a much smaller footprint. It enables the soundbar to deliver deeper, more precise low-end frequencies that you would typically expect from a much larger, dedicated subwoofer setup.
The Arc Ultra measures 3.1 inches tall. We recommend measuring the clearance between your TV stand and the bottom of your screen to ensure it doesn't obstruct your view.
The soundbar uses advanced AI processing to isolate and clarify human voices within a mix. This ensures dialogue remains crisp and intelligible even during intense action scenes or complex musical scores.
Yes, the Arc Ultra integrates seamlessly with most TV remotes via HDMI eARC. Once connected, your TV remote will automatically control the soundbar's volume and mute functions without needing extra configuration.
You can instantly swap the audio from your Arc Ultra to your Sonos Ace headphones with a single tap. This allows you to enjoy a full, immersive theater experience at high volumes without disturbing others in your home.
While the Arc Ultra provides a powerful 9.1.4 spatial audio experience on its own, it is designed to work as part of the Sonos ecosystem. You can easily add a Sonos Sub or rear speakers later if you want to further expand your home theater setup.
