I forgot to review this… - Sonos Arc Soundbar Review

Soundbars have pretty much replaced the ol' "home theater in a box" solution, but in my experience don't offer a high fidelity sonic experience...until now? The Sonos Arc is the first soundbar that I've been impressed enough with to actually install in my living rooom. Now, should I get the subwoofer?

Buy: Sonos Arc

Buy: JBL Bar 5.1

Buy: LG SN11RG

Title: Laszlo - Supernova

[gniktfird]

This whole channel is linus tricking companies into renovating his house.

[JustinY.]

From every other video Linus uploads, Linus is on a mission to slowly renovate his home bit by bit.

Your editors are amazing.

The good thing about this Sonos setup is that you can buy two additional speakers for real surround experience, for example 2 ikea symphonisk speaker lamps (which are Sonos and compatible, and at a good price) which you can equip with smart bulbs (such as philips hue) so you'll have 2 additional speaker, "undercover" as table lamps for your room

This week on Linus makeovers we’re going to be building an extension on my home... oh and uh.... we’re going to put Ethernet cables in or some shit idk

[ardbeg]

Liked for “we all know his kids weren’t there”

[Mason-gztl]

Wonder how long before dbrand comes out with a My Little Pony skin for Linus

[arideyya]

Linus' daughter: Dad can we watch TV now
Linus: After I finish this episode of My Little Pony, honey

I have the Arc, Sub 3 with 2 One SL's as rear speakers and I love this set. First soundbar I ever bought its expensive but very good performing

[MysteryMii]

I’m honestly surprised you didn’t bring up the fact that Sonos continues to not support DTS decoding on their soundbars. It’s kind of a big deal for people with Blu-ray collections as the vast majority of Blu-rays that don’t have an object-based surround sound track use DTS-HD Master Audio instead of Dolby TrueHD, meaning that the audio has to be converted into a DD signal if you want to get surround sound with your Sonos surround setup.

EDIT: The future called. Sonos now supports DTS decoding on their soundbars.

[princewhateverer]

So Linus upgraded his speaker set up because the MLP songs weren't clear enough?

Absolute chad.

[DustinHallXVX]

I got the Sonos Arc and was on a waitlist to buy the Subwoofer. As soon as I connected it to my TV and used the soundbar, I cancelled the subwoofer order. The Arc is insanely loud and bassy. Every review I've read holds back on hyping how good the complete sound is. In an apartment, the subwoofer would be unethical lol.

"I end up playing with it, instead of working"
*I relate to this sentence A LOT*

[ОлегПетров-зф]

0:33 I watched the full thing in one sitting. Very informative, straight to the point, conversational. Thank you.

[LouisChiaki]

Linus' living room probably worth a few million dollars as the most important showroom in the world.

[bababoeyfan]

Linus: let’s just keep testing

4 movies later: ah shit, the video!

[alolanstarboy]

“I Finally found a sound at that doesn’t suck”

Every company that’s ever sponsored Linus to showcase their sound bar: “You can’t say that!”

[macjustmac]

“Groups of men talking over each other” I could watch the debate on this!

[BobbyBev]

I ordered one of these a week ago. Thrilled and relieved to hear you enjoyed it so much!! Can’t wait to get mine

[Reczack]

I will never not be baffled by Linus's buttery smooth transitions to ads.
