Sonos Arc review: this soundbar sounds simply fantastic

Multi-room audio specialist Sonos is back with the Arc, the firm's first Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar that totally transforms your TV's sound. It is a single box of tricks that combines a smart speaker, wifi music sound system and home cinema kit in one, but like most soundbars of this type it can be dogged by audio-picture syncing issues when used with TV set top boxes – more on that later. The Arc looks deceptively simple. It is a sleek, one metre-long cylinder that is surprisingly compact considering there are eight separate woofers, three tweeters and a collection of electronics all hidden behind the matt metal mesh. Four of the woofers face you directly through the front of the Arc.
