The Sonos Arc Ultra Dolby Atmos soundbar is currently available on Amazon for $899, a record low price. The 9.1.4-channel soundbar uses Sound Motion technology and Dolby Atmos decoding to deliver immersive audio without requiring additional speakers.
The Sonos Arc Ultra is designed to compete with higher-end soundbar systems like the Samsung HW-Q990D and Sony HT-A7000, often requiring more components to achieve comparable spatial audio performance. According to Gizmodo, attaching a budget soundbar to a high-end television diminishes the potential of the TV. The Arc Ultra aims to provide a high-quality audio experience in a single unit.
The soundbar features AI-powered Speech Enhancement mode, which clarifies dialogue without manual adjustments, and can be set up with a single HDMI eARC connection and the Sonos app’s Trueplay calibration. Control options include TV remote (HDMI-CEC), the Sonos app, touch controls, and Amazon Alexa. It also supports AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth for music streaming.
Users can expand the system with the Sonos Sub 4 for enhanced bass and Era 300 rear speakers for a full Atmos surround sound experience, though these are optional. The soundbar is now available for $899, down from its usual price of $1,099, making it a more accessible option for those seeking a premium single-unit audio solution.
