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.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
