There’s a lot more tech inside this unit than any Sonos speaker ever before, and it has upgraded styling in both black and white that fits with the modern era of their speaker range. Everything about it feels ready for the next era in living room entertainment and even without the Atmos experience the Arc delivers a lot more than the Playbar as a raw audio upgrade.

This is an entirely worthy successor for the Sonos Playbar, and it does raise the bar so that Sonos has a flagship home entertainment soundbar that is primed for the 4K era and beyond.

If you already own a Playbar, don’t go rushing out to upgrade until your TV will help you get everything out of its latest features. But if you already have an eARC TV it’s an exciting time to step up.

If you’ve never pursued audio excellence in your living room and you enjoy a lot of audio even when the TV is switched off, this is the new soundbar you’re looking for.
