Sonos Arc vs Arc Ultra

I review the flagship Sonos sound bar Arc Ultra and flagship home theater system with the new Sonos Arc Ultra, two Era 300s, and two Sub 4s. To make it even better I compare it to a Sonos Arc system. Did Sonos make a better system ??? You'll find out

Oh Man U killed it! No one does reviews as detailed and fun all at the same time! Thank you ❤

[Suroky]

Sonos needs allow 5 x 3 Era 300s for the ultimate surround package.

[saisuthan]

was eagerly waiting for this comparison by you specifically..love your insight and dry humor.. ;)

[TheMpamMpam]

Your channel needs an upgrade to 40+k. Let's do it. Great review, keep them coming

[alexsaraceno]

I've been waiting for you to make this video.

[thehostler]

I needed this review to validate my upgrade from the Arc1 to Arc Ultra. I feel better now. Also, I found your recording from the Arc to Arc Ultra really on point. It did a good enough job representing the real world difference even though we're hearing it through a compressed YouTube video. I did not fully agree on speech from the center channel being the same as the Arc1, but I could not make a direct comparison myself due to having sold my Arc1 a week before the Arc Ultra arrived.

Amazing review! I upgraded from Arc with Sub Gen 3 and 2 SL as surrounds to Arc Ultra with Sub 4 with 2 Era 300s as surrounds. Happy with the upgrades! Sound is wider, open, bass is so strong and punchy!

[margar]

What a killer in depth review that didn't bore me. Nice Job!

[jay_]

Absolutely love ALL your reviews. Currently have the Sonos Arc Ultra, 2 Era 300s & Sub 4 and its incredible! I shifted from the whole Bose Smart Ultra Setup with Bass Module 700 & two 700 rear speakers and I can confidently say Sonos > Bose 100%!

I tried to tell my wife the new sonos arc ultra was for my YouTube channel but I got destroyed 😂

[GOLFADDICT]

I just got the Arc Ultra + Sub Mini + Era 100's for my 12 x 12 foot room and it sounds amazing to me Not thinking i will do Gen 4 sub or the Era 300's in the future but hey who knows am very happy with the way it sounds now great review well done cheers from Canada

[TheWanderingGoenkar]

Hey buddy, been following you from the start. Thank you for the unbiased great reviews! you put in a lot of effort in your videos and i hope your channel grows .

[ludwigvanbeethoven]

I own arc ultra x2 subs gen 3 and x2 era 300
And I’m watching this review just because I want to support this channel,
Btw I bought the era 300s because of you and I didn’t regret it, you are doing an amazing job when it come to reviews and also you have a nice sense of humour 😎
See you around !

[dnicoya]

Daniel
you are the man! I was waiting for a review like this. 👍🏻

[Darkk_Sage]

Great review Daniel. I upgraded to the arc. It finally has that balance where the 300s don’t take the stage.

[LicksSG]

I’ve probably watched the opening 20 minutes of 6 Underground 50 times. Great for testing out the system. The opening fight sequence in Deadpool and Wolverine certainly packs a punch as well! Awesome review as always.

[mrgold]

Excellent review as always! Just upgraded my Arc (dual Gen 3 subs+Fives+LG OLED 77C1) to the Arc Ultra. Move v1 Arc into master bedrooms to replace Beam Gen 1 (Gen 3 sub+symfonisk+LG OLED 65C4). Noticed an improvement with dialogue and the Arc Ultra sounds louder at the same volume levels. Not ready to give up my Fives just yet; but, willing to do so if Sonos comes out with Era 500s down the road.

[ISOaudit]

Sonos is my only tech that I love and hate at the same

The app's poor reliability (still safely on 16.1) & not supporting the >dual< sub gen 2 & 3 combo is keeping me from the Ultra upgrade. And fear of having to putter around with it for hours to get it working is also a turnoff, Sonos should make it easier to just add the ultra to the existing system without all the drama...

I am considering upping the rear One's to Era 300's from what you suggest but the apps reliability issues are still keeping me on the fence.... I really don't want to break what's working fine as of now.

Always the best reviews, thank you again sir!

[giacintorenta]

The reviews are really useful but I enjoy the humour too

[the.jimmyz]

Sonoisseur! Philosonosian! This is hilarious... and so true. Had to share with my wife and daughter. You got a new subscriber.
