If you’ve been looking for a great soundbar that performs more like a surround sound system than a stereo upgrade for your TV speakers, look no further than the Sonos Arc. Well, these days, you should consider the Sonos Arc Ultra successor, but there’s never been a better time to save on the O.G. model.
As a matter of fact, the original Sonos Arc Soundbar is on sale this week for $600. That’s a $300 markdown, friends!
We tested the Sonos Arc back in 2023, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “With Dolby Atmos and voice A.I., the Sonos Arc is the Swiss Army knife of soundbars.”
Available in black or white colorways (though it does seem the black option is starting to sell out), the Sonos Arc is classed as a 5.0.2 soundbar. This means the bar itself has three front speakers — the left, center, and right channels — as well as two side-firing drivers and a set of up-firing drivers for surround and height effects. Altogether, it really feels like you’re sitting in your own personal movie theater when watching films and TV shows or playing video games.
Using HDMI ARC (no pun intended), the Sonos Arc supports all Dolby audio codecs and DTS but doesn’t support DTS:X or DTS-HD MA. The soundbar also doesn’t have any HDMI inputs (just the HDMI ARC output) or a Bluetooth Mode. Still, you’ll be able to use the Sonos S2 app to cast music to the Sonos Arc over Wi-Fi.
Should you want a little more bass in your movies and music, we recommend adding one of Sonos’ many subwoofers to your Arc setup. That said, we think most folks will be more than happy with the low-end provided solely by the bar itself.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.
