Great soundbar
A little chunkier than I’d expected but ultimately a really nice design. We’ve mounted it to the wall and it looks and sounds great. Set up was smooth.

Great Sound Quality
Upgraded from a Sonos AMP & floor speakers. Arc provides amazing Atmos audio combined with rear Sonos/Ikea Symfonisk picture frame speakers. Less clutter too so can't complain.

Fantastic soundbar
I bought the Arc to replace my Beam and to pair with my Sub. It was very easy to setup as an experienced Sonos user. Once my ears had adjusted to the sound and I worked out the volume sweet spot, I can definitely say the Arc is a worthwhile upgrade. The soundstage is wider and the height from the Atmos is noticeable.

At a glance

It is especially well suited to living rooms and users already in the Sonos ecosystem. Its biggest strengths are spacious Dolby Atmos audio and smart multi-room features.

Things to consider
For the best Dolby Atmos experience, you may need a compatible TV with eARC and a room that helps reflect height effects; it also costs more than simpler sound bars focused mainly on clearer dialogue.
Tv compatibility score
9/10 - works very well with modern TVs, especially models with HDMI eARC for full-format audio support.
Movie night suitability
9/10 - excellent for cinematic viewing with spacious sound, strong dialogue clarity and convincing Atmos performance in the right room.
Music playback quality
9/10 - detailed, expansive and refined for a sound bar, making it a strong choice for both casual and focused listening.
Room size suitability
Medium to large rooms
Installation ease
Easy - straightforward single-bar setup, though getting the most from Atmos and tuning may take a little extra configuration.
Key benefits
- Dolby Atmos support: creates a more immersive, room-filling movie experience with sound that feels wider and taller than standard TV speakers.
- Speech Enhancement: makes dialogue easier to follow, which helps during quiet scenes, busy action sequences and everyday TV viewing.
- Trueplay room tuning: adjusts the sound to suit your room so audio feels more balanced for your space and placement.
- Wi-Fi music streaming: lets you stream music, radio and podcasts directly without relying only on the TV connection.
- Multi-room Sonos system support: makes it easy to expand audio into other rooms and control playback across the home from one app.
- Voice control integration: allows convenient hands-free control for playback, volume and everyday listening tasks.
- All-in-one premium design: delivers a cleaner setup with fewer separate speakers, which suits modern living rooms and wall-mounted TVs.
- Expandable surround system: can be paired with optional Sonos subwoofer and rear speakers for a bigger home cinema setup over time.
Q: Is the Sonos Arc still worth buying, or is it an older model now?
A: Yes. Sonos Arc is an older model than newer Arc variants, but it is not obsolete for buyers wanting premium TV audio with Dolby Atmos and broad Sonos multi-room support. It remains a strong choice if the newer model's extra features are not essential.
Q: How does the Sonos Arc compare with the Sonos Beam Gen 2?
A: Sonos Arc is the larger step-up option, with 11 Class-D amplifiers and a bigger driver layout designed for wider, taller sound than Beam Gen 2. Beam suits smaller rooms and tighter cabinets, while Arc is better matched to larger TVs and open living areas.
Q: What does the Sonos Arc need from a TV to get Dolby Atmos properly?
A: For full Dolby Atmos from Sonos Arc, the TV should support HDMI eARC, or at least HDMI ARC with compatible Atmos pass-through. Without that, Arc will still play TV sound, but it may drop to standard Dolby Digital instead of higher-bandwidth Atmos formats.
Q: Can the Sonos Arc be used on its own, or is a subwoofer needed?
A: Yes, Sonos Arc can be used on its own because it already includes eight elliptical woofers for mid-range, vocals and bass support. A separate Sonos Sub is an upgrade for deeper low-end impact, not a requirement for everyday TV and movie listening.
Q: How do you put the Sonos Arc in pairing mode during setup?
A: Sonos Arc is normally set up through the Sonos app over Wi-Fi, rather than standard Bluetooth pairing like a portable speaker. During setup, the app prompts the connection steps and detects the soundbar, so TV connection and room setup happen in the same process.
Q: What is the model number for this white Sonos Arc?
A: The model number for this white Sonos Arc is ARCG1AU1. That code is useful when checking compatibility with wall mounts, comparing listings, or confirming you are looking at the original Arc rather than a newer Sonos Arc variant with different hardware.
