The Vizio has a Full HDMI In port that supports 4k passthrough, unlike the Sonos. You can check out the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers to compare its performance with its full setup.

The Sonos Arc and the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 are both premium standalone setups supporting Dolby Atmos content. Their performances are similar overall. The Sonos supports DTS content, unlike the Bose, and it has a few more sound enhancement features like auto-volume mode. The Bose is better built, with more wireless playback options.

The JBL Bar 1000 is a premium setup with speakers and a subwoofer, so you may find it more worthwhile to compare it to the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc or the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers. The Sonos Arc review is relevant for the standalone bar only, and while it does quite well, its surround sound isn't on par with these more premium setups.

The Sonos Arc and the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus are both very premium standalone soundbars with Dolby Atmos support. The Sonos has a wider, more immersive soundstage, which is especially noticeable with Atmos content. However, it doesn't come with HDMI In ports like the Sennheiser, and it doesn't support as many wireless playback options like Bluetooth.

The Sonos Arc is better than the Sony HT-A9. These setups have very different designs, as the Sonos is a long standalone bar while the Sony is a small box with four satellites. The Sonos reproduces a slightly more extended low-bass and has a better center channel performance. However, the Sony has a better soundstage. You can also upgrade both of these setups with subwoofers.

Our review for the Sonos Arc only encompasses the standalone bar, so you may find it more useful to compare the Samsung HW-Q930C with the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc to get a sense of how it performs with a subwoofer and satellites. Without these add-ons, the Sonos has a less impressive surround sound, especially compared to the Samsung. Still, it may be a good alternative if you don't have a ton of space in your living room, as it does well for a standalone bar.

Compared to the standalone Sonos Arc, the Samsung HW-Q800C has a dedicated subwoofer, making it more versatile overall. The Samsung is better built and capable of bringing more thump and rumble in the bass range. It's more customizable, too, and offers a Full HDMI In port, unlike the Sonos. The Sonos is a great option if you're low on space, and it even has a better stereo soundstage. You can also check out the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers or the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc to understand how it performs with a sub and satellites added on.

It may be more useful to compare the LG S95QR to the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc since the Sonos Arc review is valid only for the standalone bar. Adding a sub and satellites to the Arc brings an improved sound that's more on par with the LG which has a bar with satellites and a sub included. The standalone Arc is a good alternative if you don't have a lot of space in your living room.

The JBL Bar 9.1 is a better soundbar than the Sonos Arc. The JBL has a dedicated subwoofer and satellites, which reproduce a more extended low-bass and a better surround performance. It also comes with EQ presets and a Full HDMI In port. However, you can also upgrade the Sonos to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers or the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc for better performance.

The Sonos Arc is better than the LG S90QY. The Sonos is a 5.0.2 setup, so it's a standalone bar. Still, it has better soundstage, surround, and Atmos performances. It can't reproduce as much low-bass as the LG, which comes with a dedicated sub, but you can always add one if you want to improve bass reproduction. The LG comes with additional sound enhancement features like EQ presets, but the Sonos' out-of-the-box sound is impressive without any tweaks.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 700 is a slightly better soundbar than the Sonos Arc. The Sonos isn't as well-built, but it supports Atmos, which is great for a more immersive listening experience. However, the Bose has a more neutral sound profile, allowing for Bluetooth playback. Both setups can be upgraded easily.

The Sonos Arc and the Klipsch Cinema 1200 are two different soundbar setups. The Sonos is a standalone 5.0.2 bar, while the Klipsch is a full 5.1.4 setup with a dedicated sub and satellites. As a result, the Klipsch can reproduce a more extended low-bass, and it has a better surround performance. However, its soundstage performance isn't as impressive as the better-built Sonos, and it doesn't support DTS content. You may also want to compare it to the full Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers.

The Samsung HW-Q950A is a better soundbar than the standalone Sonos Arc. The Samsung has a dedicated subwoofer and satellites, so it reproduces a more extended low-bass and has better surround performance. It also gets louder with less compression at max volume and comes with a graphic EQ and Full HDMI In port. However, the Sonos is better built and has a better soundstage performance. Also, you can upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for better performance.

The Sonos Arc and the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 are premium standalone soundbars. However, the Sonos is better overall. It has better soundstage, surround, and Atmos performances and has more sound enhancement features. In addition, its default sound is more neutral, especially in the mids, so voices are clearer and more detailed in the mix.

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the standalone Sonos Arc or the Sony HT-ST5000. The Sony comes with a dedicated sub that reproduces a more extended low-bass. It's better built and comes with EQ presets and three Full HDMI In ports. However, the Sonos has better soundstage, surround, and Atmos performances. It also comes with a room correction feature, and you can even upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for better performance.

Since the Samsung HW-Q900C has a dedicated subwoofer, it can bring a more extended low-bass compared to the standalone Sonos Arc. You can always compare the Samsung with setups like the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc and the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers to understand how the bar performs with a sub added on. Either way, it does well for a standalone bar, so it may be more suitable if you don't have space for a sub in your living room.

The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar MAX and the Sonos Arc are both very premium standalone bars. The Sennheiser reproduces a more extended low-bass thanks to its integrated subwoofer. It supports more wireless playback options, and unlike the Sonos, it offers a graphic EQ, presets, and a Full HDMI In port. However, the Sonos is better built with a better soundstage performance. Unlike the Sennheiser, it has bass and treble adjustments and built-in voice assistant support. You can also upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for better performance.

You can even upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for a better performance.

It has a better surround performance and more enhancement features to help you customize its sound. There's DTS support and built-in voice assistant capabilities, which the Devialet lacks. Also, you can add on rears or a dedicated sub to improve its performance, giving you more flexibility than the Devialet.

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Sonos Arc or the LG SP9YA. The LG comes with a dedicated subwoofer that reproduces a more extended low-bass. Also, it comes with EQ presets for sound customization. However, the Sonos has better soundstage, surround, and Atmos performances. Also, it can be upgraded to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers.

You can also update the Sonos with a wireless subwoofer and surround satellites. However, the 3.1 Klipsch comes with a dedicated subwoofer.

However, the Klipsch has a dedicated sub that can reproduce a thumpier low-bass out of the box. It also has two Full HDMI In ports, meaning you can use it for high-quality passthrough.

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Samsung HW-Q800T or the Sonos Arc. The Samsung has a better-balanced sound profile out of the box and fewer compression artifacts when played at max volume. Unlike the Sonos, the Samsung has an HDMI In port and a graphic EQ. However, unlike the Samsung soundbar, the 5.0.2 Sonos doesn't downmix surround content into stereo, providing a more immersive movie-watching experience. The Sonos also performs better with Atmos content.

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Sonos Arc or the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2Ch. The Nakamichi is slightly better for movies as it has a better surround performance. It also comes with EQ presets, two subwoofers, and four satellites. However, the Sonos is a standalone bar that has a better soundstage. It also has room correction and voice assistant support built into the bar. You can also upgrade it to the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers for better performance.

The Sonos Arc is better than the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar. The Sonos is a 5.0.2 setup that's better built. Unlike the Bowers & Wilkins, it has Dolby Atmos support and an HDMI ARC port. Its soundstage, center, and surround performances are better, and it offers more sound enhancement features. That said, it isn't Bluetooth-compatible like the Bowers & Wilkins.

Unlike the LG, it has room correction and built-in voice assistant support. The 3.1 LG gets louder and has a Full HDMI In port that supports high-quality passthrough.

The Samsung HW-Q990D is a better overall soundbar then the Sonos Arc. The Samsung has a more balanced and neutral sound, which some people may prefer, and if it doesn't, there are plenty of sound customization features available to help align their sound with your tastes. Since it has discrete satellite speakers, its surround performance feels more immersive; sound effects sound clear and are easily located in the soundstage. This bar also has HDMI 2.1 support, so you can passthrough 4k signals at 120Hz, making it a great choice for gaming on next gen consoles or PCs. The Sonos is still a suitable option if you're looking for an all-in-one bar. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the Samsung, but it can play height content. You can also check out the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers or the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc to see how it performs with a sub and satellites added on.

The Sonos Arc has the edge over the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. While both bars offer similar performance in many ways, like stereo soundstage and dynamics, the Sonos has a slightly better less bright, piercing center performance . Its surround performance is more natural, too, and it has an Optical port that supports DTS. However, the Bose is better built and supports more wireless playback formats.

The LG S95TR is a better soundbar than the standalone Sonos Arc. The LG is a 9.1.5 setup with a standalone subwoofer and satellites, so not only can it get louder, but its center and surround performances are better. It comes with more sound enhancement features, and, in addition to ARC and Optical, it supports HDMI In. Its sound is a lot more balanced, too, with better bass extension to help you feel all the rumble of action-packed scenes. However, the Sonos is still worth considering if you're already invested in the Sonos ecosystem, thanks to the app, which allows you to easily connect the bar to other speakers from this brand. Its soundstage is wider, too.

The Sonos Arc is a standalone bar that works well for smaller homes where space is at a premium, but it lacks the rumble and boom that's brought by the Samsung HW-Q800D's dedicated subwoofer. It's fair to say that the Samsung performs better overall: it has a more balanced sound, can get louder, and is better built, with more sound enhancement features available. Gamers will also appreciate having an HDMI In port, as well as 4k passthrough capabilities at 60Hz, which aren't present in the Sonos. That said, the Sonos' default preset has a slightly wider soundstage than the Samsung's 'Standard' mode, and there's less compression at max volume with the Sonos. All in all, unless you're in a tight space and can't make too much noise, it's worth opting for the cheaper Samsung.

For some, the Sonos Arc offers better overall value than the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9. The Sonos can create a wider soundstage with better focus, so you can pinpoint where sound is coming from. Its surround and height performances are better and more even, too. It's even better built, and you can pair it with other Sonos products in your home, but the trade-off is that it only has an HDMI ARC port and comes with an Optical adapter. The Sony soundbar may not have an Optical port, but it has separate HDMI In and Out ports and can passthrough 4k content at 120Hz, which is ideal for gamers wanting to use the bar as a hub between their TV and the latest-gen console.

The Sonos Arc and the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 are standalone Dolby Atmos soundbars with smart features, such as built-in voice assistant support.

Plus, you find more sound enhancement features, like room correction.

The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 with Speakers + Bass Module is better than the standalone Sonos Arc. The Bose is a 5.1.2 setup with satellites and a subwoofer, so naturally, its surround sound is improved compared to the bar on its own. That said, the Sonos still offers solid performance for a standalone bar, and you can even upgrade it with a sub and satellites if you want. You may prefer to compare this setup to the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc or the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers.

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the Sony HT-A7000 with Speakers + Bass Module or the standalone Sonos Arc. The Sony is a 7.1.2 setup with discrete satellites and a subwoofer. It's better built, with a better surround performance. Unlike the Sonos, it has two Full HDMI In ports for high-quality passthrough. That said, the Sonos has better soundstage and Atmos performances. You can also upgrade it with a sub and satellites for better performance.

Since the Samsung HW-B550 comes with a subwoofer, it can reproduce more bass than the standalone Sonos Arc. That said, the Sonos shines in other regards.

You can always add a sub on to the Sonos to improve its bass performance, too.

The Vizio M Series M51ax-J6 is a better soundbar than the standalone Sonos Arc. The Vizio reproduces a more extended low-bass and offers a better surround performance.

You can also add a sub to the Sonos, and our results for the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc and the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers give you an idea of how it will perform in comparison. Still, the standalone option is a good alternative for those without much room in their setup, and its stereo soundstage is better than the Samsung. Plus, it doesn't have to downmix surround and height content like the Samsung.

While both the Sonos Arc and Samsung HW-Q700C with SWA-9500S are found in the same price bracket, both offer different advantages over the other. The Sonos is an all-in-one soundbar, which is good if you're low on space or don't want the hassle of setting up satellites and subwoofers. On the downside, it lacks an EQ so that you can't finetune the sound, and it only has an eARC port (and an Optical adapter). Conversely, the Samsung soundbar has discrete satellites to help improve its surround and height performances, giving you a more immersive sound. It also has plenty more connection options, and it can passthrough high-quality bandwidth signals, so you can use the bar as a hub between different devices.

It has more physical inputs, including a Full HDMI In port, and it has outstanding wireless playback options.

Adding the two rear satellites provides a much better surround sound experience, which is very immersive with surround content. It also makes the soundstage wider, although it does lose a bit of focus. The added subwoofer also creates more bass. On the other hand, the standalone soundbar might be a better option for people with limited space.
