Sonos Arc Ultra Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Voice Control - 9.1.4 Surround Sound for TV and Music - Black

I’ve owned a lot of soundbars over the years, but the Sonos Ultra is on another level. The moment I set it up (which took less than 10 minutes thanks to the simple HDMI eARC connection and the Sonos app’s step-by-step guidance), I knew this was something special.The 9.1.4 spatial audio with Dolby Atmos is simply jaw-dropping—sound doesn’t just come from the front, it feels like it’s coming from everywhere. Movies completely fill the room with action, and the Sound Motion technology places effects so precisely that you feel like you’re right in the middle of the scene.Dialogue is crystal clear thanks to the AI-powered Speech Enhancement—no more rewinding because I missed what someone said. Music is equally impressive, with rich detail, deep bass, and a soundstage that feels like a live performance.The elegant design blends beautifully with my living room—it looks high-end but doesn’t distract from the screen. Control is effortless too: I can use my TV remote, the Sonos app, or even just my voice with Alexa.Trueplay tuning made a noticeable difference, automatically adjusting the sound to my room’s acoustics. Streaming is seamless with WiFi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect—I’ve played music from every source without a hiccup.I eventually paired it with a Sonos Sub and Era 300 rears, and the surround experience is honestly better than some theaters. Plus, I love being able to expand to other rooms with Sonos speakers for whole-home audio.If you’re serious about home entertainment, this is the best soundbar you can buy. The Sonos Ultra is pure audio magic.

So far it's a fantastic purchase that we really appreciate. We had a no name sound bar before and it was OK but the battery in the remote stopped working and when we put a new one in we saw the battery leaked. So we bought a new remote that didnt connect.The sonos sound bar has a great bass , we can't wait to add a subwoofer and the additional speakers to connect. Its easy to setup but required a smart phone. The price is too high and should be less to make it a value for the money. Its Bluetooth connectable and has a great design. The only thing that is a bother, the TV has to be mounted to use the bar to the full extend. It would be great if there were TV raisers to keep both on the sideboard.

The Sonos Arc Ultra delivers an impressive cinematic experience. The soundstage is wide and well-defined, making both Dolby Atmos movies and regular TV in 5.1 sound rich and immersive. While the height channels are subtle, the difference is noticeable when disabled, and the overall surround effect feels like sound is coming from all around.For music playback, the Arc Ultra alone doesn’t shine quite as brightly, but paired with Era 300 speakers it becomes outstanding. Despite the marketing around the bass driver, it’s solid rather than overwhelming — enough to fill a room, but not “knock your socks off.”Design-wise, the Arc Ultra is sleek, substantial, and beautifully built. Its size adds presence, and it feels premium in hand with no flexing. In fact, it looks so good it makes the rest of the room feel like it needs an upgrade.Setup was flawless. Straightforward and simple.At its premium price, it’s a serious step up from the Beam and probably worth it, though I sometimes wonder how it compares to the standard Arc, now much cheaper. Still, for anyone who values immersive home theater sound in a stylish package, the Arc Ultra is highly recommended.

This speaker kicks a$$. Awesome sound and quality. Super easy to hook up. I have several Sonos sound bars and this one is by far the best. Worth the extra money

I had seen good reviews of this soundbar and decided to take the plunge. I have an older Samsung HU9000 curved 4k TV in my living room that only has ARC, not eARC, but it works fine. The Sonos sound is really, really good. The bass response is ridiculously good for a unit this size. Movies and TV sound great, but I was missing Atmos. A new device was just released by CableMatters that allows me to plug my Apple TV into the Sonos. And wow, I mean wow, the Atmos effects are spectacular. I have a Nakamichi Dragon in my home theater which totally blows this away in terms of power, authority, and transparency (not really fair because I don't have the full Sonos setup), but the Atmos effects are surprisingly even better than the Dragon, and the Dragon is amazing. I would say that Sonos totally owns the spatial department, especially with just a minimum setup like I have for my living room.As far as sound I would compare it to a Bose system because it sets up its EQ and surround volumes as a plug and play setup with the app, which is awesome. It has its own warm, rich sound that reminds me of the Bose. It has a really well-tuned and pleasing sound for all types of media. The only drawback is that it does not support DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS:X which I consider the gold standard when it comes to watching movies. Almost all the studios seem to be going to Atmos anyway (sad face) so it won't matter anyway for the future. Also, not having at least one additional HDMI input port was a bad decision on somebody's part.Overall I love this soundbar and if I ever want to expand I have the option to add subs and rear speakers in the future. But honestly, the sound is so good with just the bar that I really have no need to do that. This is a real steal for this price point.

Works wonderfully, easy set up. Great sound. Only wish I could sync with my play 5...

Paired it with my new LG G5 OLED and the Sub 4. I am not an audiophile but I find the sound to be excellent and is great for movies and sports. It’s surround sound makes my dogs think an intruder is in another room. Simple setup and while expensive is worth the money for the added experience.

SPeakers sound good, but are marred by these things solely depending on having a PHONE. Stupidest thing I've ever seen where a software engineer is unable to at the very least make an application for your PC!!! If you buy these and dont own an idiot phone, then you cant use them.
