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

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.
I have a RTX 2070 super in a 4 year old cyber power crap pre-built i’m trying to build a new PC and been watching all your videos non stop and it’s really helping, everything is so expensive! but thank you for the help :)
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 got the complete setup sonos arc subwoofer and rear surround speakers wow the sound is amazing I have a pretty small room. but damn I have never heard sound like that before. the dolby atmos demos I try was crazy good I see now why its pretty expensive.
@@ernestohernandez9370 You got two Ones as rear surrounds? What do you think about them? Some people use two Fives as surrounds. I’m on the fence about it.

@@MKDC-5 Lazy cynicism. Linus has a well-earned reputation of being reliable and transparent when it comes to sponsorships and endorsements, and his very few slip ups over the hundreds of hours of content he's put out have been swiftly followed by apologies or corrections.
When I shopped for surround sound systems 10 years ago, I found a dude who was selling a high end 5.1 surround system for $185. JVC receiver, subwoofer, ATC speakers. Was glorious. Ever since I've only shopped in the used market, the enthusiasts have the best gear and sell for dirt cheap.
Probably 20 years ago I got hold of a set Logitech speakers (sub and two satellites) from work... I think they were customer returns. I used them the rest of the time at that job and when the site shut down I was able to keep them. My mom is using them now and they still sound great.
@Filip Gimell I sold the entire set but just because I was in need of money, I wish I still had the set and I plan on buying a set in the future again. The only annoying/problematic things for me were the software updates and the app. Sometimes a speaker wouldn't connect after an update and I'd have to reset it and re-add it and such. The app was also a bit laggy sometimes, but this was just for the first couple months. I don't remember when it was exactly but they came with a big software update and it made everything work effortlessly like it should. I personally see Sonos as a good brand, like Apple-tier, they make good quality products but it is a bit expensive, for the same amount of money (or less) you could get a nice wired system but with Sonos you're paying mostly for the simplicity of setup and use and for me that was worth it and the sound quality is great imo too. If you are taking the plunge i'd say definitely get a sub with it, imo its a must (unless you get the Five's, even then it would be a very nice touch)
linus thank you! because of you i decided to buy a sonoc ark in august! I've been a fan of yours for 4 years and what you normally cost for my excess! but what I have now saved is! through the dolby atmos I'm going for it!
I just finished installing a Sonos Arc with Gen 3 Sub and 2 Sonos Ones as surrounds in my Master bedroom last week and I absolutely love it yes it's expensive but the quality is undeniable I find myself wanting to watch movies more in the bedroom than the living room which has a Nakamichi 7.2.4 Shockwafe system in it which is also fairly pricy at $1000.
He doesn’t compare it to anything else. Only references to “dyi” and previous unit. I mean outside of sounds good enough. This review is not depth enough but i enjoyed it
I compared it to the Samsung one we set up in the lounge last year and the LG unit I installed during "cleanest living room". Neither are current models but they served their purpose well enough to give me the context I needed. It's not as good as my old speakers, but I paid $500 For each of the two stereo channels, plus center, plus receiver, plus sub. Not really comparable. What it is is "good enough for almost anyone" and if you don't think it's good enough for you, you're probably right and you should buy discrete speakers.
@@LinusTechTips Interested about the LG comparison, I just bought their SN8YG which seems like the newer version of your LG but with lower wattage and I have to say I'm really impressed. This coming from someone who has been using 5.1 since the early 2000s when I needed it to play splinter cell online with the OG xbox.
I got the HT-ZF9, far before the video came online on this channel. And i love it, and has good audio and connectivity imo. Especially if i compare it to soundbars family and friends have. Just ignore the soundbar always suck people, yes i know standalone speakers provide better audio but the eye wants something to and if you don't have a ton of space, a decent soundbar is a good option. Tl;dr: If you like it now who cares what LTT or others thinks.
@@Kansloos I agree. I have suffered with the wireless speaker dropping out, but this appears to be something with the compression of the source media rather than the product. I'm happy with the system and it does exactly what I wanted (most of the time). My Original comment was made, mostly, in jest! Seems many overlooked that. :D
What makes me nervous is that we have no idea how long it’ll last. What if Sonos suddenly decides that they don’t want to support it anymore? That shouldn’t be an issue for a sound bar of all things...
2 yrs ago but Sonos has probably got the best track record of any tech company ever. They've only severed past hardware once in the 18year history of their lineup and even then, those users continue to be able to use Sonos S1
Two words for you... Thonet and Vander. Just got the Dunn subwoofer and bar set for slightly over $100.00. Made in Germany - not China for once. Wireless subwoofer. 250 watts. AWESOME sound! I took a gamble, and it paid off. So if you are looking for a soundbar, this is what I would recommend.
That is exactly the same as when I bought the JBL SB200 for my Living room: it plays everything with good bass from low sources to high quality sources. But the cost was 300€ 😅.
@@surajnanda1712 yeah I know but in My living Room I had no space, so, also for the cost, the SB200 was really enough. It also have lots of bass for his size. I don't regret the lack of Subwoofer. I've also Heard in a store the new JBL Bar with the SUB and compared to this it is really trash...
I just bought a LG atmos sound bar, as someone who has used 5.1 stereos since about 2000 I can say it definitally doesn't suck, though the price does. Also the fact I don't need any apps sold me.
The iOS app allows you to ‘tune’ your system which adjusts the DSP based on the room the speaker is in. It actually works quite well. You may be even more impressed after trying that.
The best 3 things about a soundbar is: Form factor Fits perfectly below the screen, covering the few cables you can see, going down below the tv-stand Better than the built in speakers Mine fits perfectly in between my tv's feet. :)

Hi Linus! Your sister channel ShortCircuit did a review on the Sonos Ray. The quality of that review was so much more fulfilling and the soundbar was demonstrated with both the highs and low peaks. Please compare as the Ray review outperformed this review by miles.
I went from a large home theater setup to a simple soundbar because I was tired of the speakers being in the way. We are currently decluttering and realized how much space the speakers and such took up for something we hardly used.
I honest feel like Linus’s kids will grow up with just the coolest shit ever cause he’s Linus and he’s able to do all kinds of crazy cool shit to his house. Imagine the conversations at school, ( oh yeah I got a giant tv that hangs above my bath in the bathroom. ) like that’d be normal for his kids.
Picture the moment where LMG took Linus's picture for the video's thumbnail... It probably went something like: LMG: "Hey Linus! Think about breaking something awesome / Forgetting to review some other awesome tech! " Linus: ".....wTf?!" And there you have it :)
I have the original sound bar, sub, and speakers that I bought back in the day. I will say that watching movies with all 4 speakers is very similar to being in a movie theater if you turn it up. The Sub for my setup makes a huge difference. I live in an apartment with my 16 year old daughter and she is always turning it down on me when I am listening to music while doing chores or asks why we have to have it so loud when watching movies. If you turn the system up and the sub up when watching an action movie you can literally feel the bass. This is probably the best investment I have made personally. Side note (my daughter is so courteous to other people that most of the time she will turn the volume really low and use subtitles so as not to disturb anyone. Great product and would recommend it Sonos over Bose to anyone.
The sub is dope...quick tip...if you get 2 surround speaker, then hook ethernet to the arc...they kept switching addresses everytime the system turned on and actually would get lost.
Some of the dialogue reverb is mixed into the left and right channels in the 5.1 surround audio in My Little Pony. Perhaps that sort of advanced mixing isn't something the older soundbar was designed for.
Just replaced my Nakamichi 7.2.4 with the Arc system (two Gen 3 subs and two Fives for surrounds). Easy set-up, the app works without issue, easy to hear/understand dialogue on LG OLED 77C1, sounds just as good with music, and no fiddling with the settings other than volume. I already had two Beam systems (sub+surrounds) in my office and Master bedroom.

I went from a large home theater setup to a simple soundbar because I was tired of the speakers being in the way. We are currently decluttering and realized how much space the speakers and such took up for something we hardly used.
Linus: upgrades his house with expensive hardware
Also Linus: that’s a business expense

Update this with the new Sonos Arc Ultra - I's like to know your thoughts
@linustechtips please listen to the fans 🙏
I honest feel like Linus’s kids will grow up with just the coolest shit ever cause he’s Linus and he’s able to do all kinds of crazy cool shit to his house. Imagine the conversations at school, ( oh yeah I got a giant tv that hangs above my bath in the bathroom. ) like that’d be normal for his kids.
Picture the moment where LMG took Linus's picture for the video's thumbnail...
It probably went something like:
LMG: "Hey Linus! Think about breaking something awesome / Forgetting to review some other awesome tech! "
Linus: ".....wTf?!"
And there you have it :)
Linus should have answered the phone to make them listen to the segway to the sponsor of the day
But that wouldn’t of Been a smooth transition to the sponsor unlike this transition to our sponsor...
I have the original sound bar, sub, and speakers that I bought back in the day. I will say that watching movies with all 4 speakers is very similar to being in a movie theater if you turn it up. The Sub for my setup makes a huge difference. I live in an apartment with my 16 year old daughter and she is always turning it down on me when I am listening to music while doing chores or asks why we have to have it so loud when watching movies. If you turn the system up and the sub up when watching an action movie you can literally feel the bass. This is probably the best investment I have made personally. Side note (my daughter is so courteous to other people that most of the time she will turn the volume really low and use subtitles so as not to disturb anyone.
Great product and would recommend it Sonos over Bose to anyone.
Love the arc paired with the ones and the sub. Its really good for the area I have.
Best sponsor transition yet
The sub is dope...quick tip...if you get 2 surround speaker, then hook ethernet to the arc...they kept switching addresses everytime the system turned on and actually would get lost.
in this video: linus repeats three time how good the clarity is but completely skips telling us how good the "surround sound" works.
'cmmon man.
Soundbars don't have surround
I don't give two hoots about surround. - LS
I mean, it's a sound bar.... It can't be real surround sound, that requires rear speakers at minimum o.O
@@LinusTechTips use headphones like a real man
@@LinusTechTips Hate to break it to you but some of your viewers do. Since most of them use soundbars for home theater experience.
You forgot to do the trueplay tuning setup, ONLY available on IOS though.
Some of the dialogue reverb is mixed into the left and right channels in the 5.1 surround audio in My Little Pony. Perhaps that sort of advanced mixing isn't something the older soundbar was designed for.
Just replaced my Nakamichi 7.2.4 with the Arc system (two Gen 3 subs and two Fives for surrounds). Easy set-up, the app works without issue, easy to hear/understand dialogue on LG OLED 77C1, sounds just as good with music, and no fiddling with the settings other than volume. I already had two Beam systems (sub+surrounds) in my office and Master bedroom.

"a soundbar that doesn't suck."
YET. Wait a couple years for them to disable them in an update or something in the future.
Stop being drama queens. They supported some of the older stuff for almost 15 years
@@isakgustavsen6536 And i have a perfeclty capable Technics cd/vcr (so regular RCA inputs, can plug cell phone, blutooth dac)/phono/cass/radio player that was bought used in 1991 and still works perfeclty (had to change the cass belts). Not even the fan broke (even though i should lubricate it).
They've not disabled any of their audio products though? They even provide support still for devices 15+ years old. GTFO with your biased uninformed comments lmao
@@faux_hobo The app has been supported for over 15 years. Biased uninformed comments are so fucking obvious lmao
@@faux_hobo why are you spreading false information about something you don't know then?

That segway to your sponsor was revolutionary
Linus is getting incredibly intelligent with these ad placements
