The Sonos Arc Surround Sound System consists of a Sonos Arc soundbar, Sub, and 2 surround speakers. There are various options for surround speakers such as the Sonos One, One SL, Five, Play:1, Play:3, Play:5, and more.
My system has the Sonos Arc, Sub, and 2x One SLs. This is a 5.1.2 channel system. The soundbar handles the front 3 channels, the One SLs handle the 2 rear channels, there’s a single subwoofer, and there are 2 upward-firing channels in the soundbar.

I came here for Sonos review but overall it’s the cats for me particularly the black floofy one
Amazon is no longer selling the Sonos line of products just 3rd parties. ARC and Sub prices are marked up significantly and the One SL are same price right now but again through a 3rd parties.
How does this compare to 2 HomePods set up as stereo pair?
Thank you for cons list. That was most valuable! You answered on all questions that gave answer about purchase! NO. You saved me a lot of money!
$1800! It’s the equivalent of $3k in the UK. Daylight robbery.
So can you have four of those little speakers at the same time?
I love your cats 😍

Can the Sonos ARC upmix a Dolby 5.1 to a pseudo Atmos sound? Will it use all the internal speakers or just the LCR ones? I know it wont be the same as true Atmos but I listen to a lot more 5.1 than Atmos.
Can you please review JBL LSR305/LSR305P MK2 monitor speaker. I am considering to buy it. Can you compare JBL LSR305 with JBL LSR305P MK 2 or should I buy JBL LSR306P MK2/LSR306 or JBL LSR308/LSR308P MK2. What is the MK2? What’s the difference?
I mosty play games , Watch movies , YouTube, listen soundtrack , music and song. Can you please do some details review? Also please compare this monitor speaker with other speakers. And please recommend me dear Sir 😇
Thank you. Hope you will reply.😊
I wish I can afford epic this soundbad. Maybe in the future 🙁
Thnx!
answer: no
hey!
New to the whole Sonos brand system. So one plus with Sonos is everything connects wirelessly??
How would this setup go against my Q90r soundbar system sir ?
Appreciate the honest review. I had really hoped to hear better things about the integration with Android. Apparently I will have to keep looking. the other challenge for me is also the lack of HDMI port counts
I play off my computer without issue. At least I think I do. I’ll have to try. No…. I do, using the Sonos app on my computer. I guess that is what you were saying. And yes, I play YT audio through airplay.
Run your wires in your drywall. Cant stand looking at that. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Polo shirt. Hat to Match. I like the drip
Greetings…
Thanks for a great review…
We purchased the entire system i.e. ( Sonos ARC, Sub & One SL x2, with stands)…After a long deliberation, we decided to return everything…While we were very impressed with the sound quality of Sonos, we were equally disappointed that Sonos decided not to support media encoded in DTS. We have an extensive DVD, BluRay and Downloaded media collection, with DTS audio tracks and sadly, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy these using Sonos.
We reviewed many products. prior to deciding to purchase Sonos. While reading which audio formats were supported, we failed to notice the lack of DTS support during our research; had we noticed, we would not have gone with Sonos.
In the end, although there were many highly desirable characteristics, we were unable to justify the considerable expense associated with the Sonos home theatre collection, whilst dealing with two glaring shortcomings:
1. No support for DTS.
2. No support for late model TVs that possess an ARC, rather than an EARC type HDMI connection. (Unfortunately, only recent model T.V.s with an EARC connection have the ability to pass through the full spectrum of Dolby Digital type signals, including Dolby Atmos, etc.)
hey man i wud appreciate it if you can answer this question. im planning on buying the arc and sub but i have a xgimi projector in the back of me meaning i would have to plug the arc behind whete im sitting you think it’s possible?
I’ve had my Sonos system for about five years. I can’t think of a thing I would change! My rear room surround sound speakers are a set of wall mounted Bose though that I had from a former Bose system. I purchased the Sonos amplifier to drive them.
I want
I just bought into the Sonos system for our new home purely for the wireless aspect. Audio quality is sub par, especially for music, but the wire management makes the room setup very clean. BTW, your wire management strategy needs a lot of work dude.
I was a bit surprised by our experience working from a computer. Usually computers should have home internet access, and Sonos provides a Mac and Windows application to stream your music (or use services like Spotify/Deezer) to your sound system the exact same way as you would on mobile.
I just subbed. You are insane. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I just purchased Bose 300 speakers and bass I’m returning all tomorrow and buying this .
Nice tv lol
You can install the Sonos s2 windows software to control the soundbar
I have to say that after watching this video, I may actually return this system. We just purchased it and expect it to arrive today, but after hearing that it doesn’t have bluetooth, I may return and get the JBL 9.1
Does a Dolby atmos/ surroundsound system make a difference when watching movies on TV/ Satellit?
You think $1800 is too much, in the UK the same thing is £1800 which is 35% more again so no matter how good it is it’s simply NOT good value for money here in the UK.
NO
Who still uses a blue ray player?
One thing I hate is cables showing. If I were to buy a traditional setup. I would get really long cables and run the, through the roof and mount everything on the wall ( except sub) Even your TV cable hanging out is triggering my OCD
If I ever see someone hate on this Sonos arc setup with the sub and surround speakers. They are fucking haters. friends and family come to my home and amazed how clear and crisp the sound is. Did I mention loud as hell
Quick tip if you buy Sonos just buy a certified refurbished off the website
Would it be possible to use a pair of ikea bookshelf or frame speakers as surround units with the arc?
hell i want a sonos system , but i can not afford one not even just the bar to start out .
Yes it’s worth, they have a really good sound. And yes other brands can do that to. Have Sonos and Bose. And I have to say, the Bose have a better range with notes than the Sonos. But the Sonos sounds warmer, de Bose reach higher notes and sounds a little better.
Can you do a comparison between sonos arc and jbl 9.1 ?
I had a question I have a onkyo receiver that support Sonos can I use Sonos speakers as back surrounds and have wired speakers for the front surround?
No Bluetooth is bullshit for that price . Get Samsung
one HDMI arc port is great. However after I using receiver and 4K pass through capability feature I would never go back to sound bar. with Passthrough and arc, I can literally control my projector, speaker volume and apple tv at the same time and no need to turn them off each one at a time. When I turn on apple tv, it automatically turns on receiver and projector and when I turn off my apple tv it turns off everything.
Just purchased the Arc and Sub off the Sonos site. Arc is back a ordered till 10/15/2021. Sub is delayed 5 days. I already have a play bar and 2 5s and 3 1s. I love my Sonos speakers. Thank you for doing this review. We know it’s not cheap. The arc, the Sub, and the arc mount was $1700 and change.
Horsepower, horsepower
How height should be the rear speakers? Thank you!
How about upward firing and channel
Jonah, you should review the bose 900 system. I just bought it and it IS AMAZING! Curious to know what you think
