When listening to the system, sit on you main listen place. (not 30-50cm infront of the ARC)
Don't forget to change the subs Phase Contol aswell in the S2 APP (if you going 0 or 180)
Turn up the volume separetly in Sub Audio.
I don't see that option maybe don't have after trueplay
Have to say absolutely love the honesty of this review well done.
Similar experience?
I have Sonos sub that shakes the house. I was waiting for when you figured out how to use it :)
True story. My kitchen shakes the whole time on max bass
Just ordered my arc today, I’m going to order the sub next week! I cannot wait
I was looking at the Bose 900 but the arc blew it out if the water
I actually agree with Dayo. I had the arc for a few years and yesterday I finally got the sub. The arc is ok but I always thought it was underwhelming. The sub really needs the settings changed to high, otherwise you just won’t hear it. Nevertheless, it’s not as good as I would expect it to be and I am actually sorry I got it. I should have watched this video before ordering it.
@@rupamede You should test sub placement. This sub is the truth. Literally wows me every time!
@@chadmontalbano9140 this is weird because everyone everywhere says the Sonos sub is the best. & then I ordered it.
such a chilled fun review, we've all been in these situations haha. Though for $750 its not acceptable to be this frustrating.
Initially, I was also underwhelmed when I got mine... until I used the true play tuning and turned up the Sub Audio in the settings lol. And if you want a ridiculous amount of bass, just turn up the bass on the EQ. Oh and make sure the loudness setting is switched to on. Otherwise, you're really not getting the most out of the whole system. Hope this helps
how much do u have to turn up the sub before u get that imax theater bass in the sub audio settings?
As a long time Sonos user, I have two comments. First, you are right in terms of the software not being as good, reliable and user friendly as it could be. I have had my challenges connecting equipment and this just shouldn’t be the case. For a premium product, the SW experience should be much better. All I can offer in their defense is that their customer service for tech problems is pretty good.
Second, you understand that the setup is generally easy and you don’t have to deal with a receiver and a bunch of wires. True Play also makes it easy to integrate your system into your room. However, what you miss is that the system is modular. I think most Sonos customers are like me. I didn’t buy my system all at once. I started with the Playbase, then added a sub. Then I replaced the Playbase with the Arc, etc. IOW, I built the system up slowly over time. The individual pieces are on the expensive side,especially if you don’t catch a sale, but you are already in the Sonos system and it is cheaper to add the individual piece than scrap the system and start all over again.
You also under play the benefits of the modular aspects of Sonos. You are in an apartment of the full size sub might be a bit much. Well, Sonos now has the sub Mini for people in your situation. If the Arc was too much, there is the Beam. For rear surrounds, you can use the One SLs, the Era 100s or the Era 300s. There is a lot of mix and match possibilities and different upgrade paths if you so choose. I doubt your Vizio offers anything near this level of versatility.
I agree in terms of versatility, Sonos has it down pat. I actually released a video recently about how I changed my view on Sonos. There’s a lot of backlash on the app and I’ve had a bad experience with the Sonos Aces but since it’s separate from the home theater space, I don’t judge too harshly in the HT space.
Thats called real world review you got me..👍👍
broooo! Keep it up! The funniest review and honest that I've ever seen!
Did you adjust the EQ settings? I had the 1st Gen Beam and two IKEA bookshelf speakers in my office for my 55" LG C1 OLED. Added the Gen 3 Sub and that really blew me away with the sound difference. Planning (saving) to add the Gen 3 sub to the bedroom 55" LG C9 OLED with Beam+IKEA speakers.
imagine not adjusting the bass settings and then getting mad lol
It was on +3 actually
@@DayoAworunse allegedly
@@wescooper2961 it was. In other comments, the first use was very underwhelming but after a few days the bass was definitely punchy, so much so, I had to turn it down to -3 or just completely disable it and only use the arc itself.
@@DayoAworunse +5 or else.
Earned a new subscriber with your pure honesty! Question: what pants are you wearing (brand and name plese). Keep the good work and honesty!
Visited a friend the other day and they had the entire system except the sub & were happy with it.
Brand: Lululemon
Name: Surge Joggers
Great review. Love the honest, real life review.
Mine shakes the room in movies…. Adjust the EQ settings. The neighbour that lives in a separate house about 10m away has been round to complain 🤣. (got a second turning up tomorrow 🙊)
Thanks for your honesty. I love my Sonos it saved us during the pandemic
I love my sub that's what was missing when I would watch movies. I remember buying the playbar and the employee was saying you need the sub I'm like no I'm fine. He told me I bet you come back and buy it he was right I did.
Great video. Loved your style.
Unfortunately the Sonos Arc only has one ARC connection, which of course is eARC to enable full Atmos audio signal from the TV to Sonos Arc, as long as your TV is new enough to have eARC.
If not, and you do not want to buy a new TV, you'd have to buy an Apple TV. But as the Sonos Arc only has one ARC connection you can't feed the Apple TV to the Sonos Arc and the feed the video signal from the Sonos Arc to your old TV. (The reverse path.)
You have to also buy a Fury splitter to go from the Apple TV to feed the video signal to your TV and the full Atmos audio signal to the Sonos Arc.
And so if I wanted just one extra feature on the Sonos Arc it would be to have 2 eARC connections to enable pass through.
If I am incorrect on any of the above, please correct me!
I watched your video . Went away and thought about it . Bought the sub anyway . Now watching Top Gun dolby atmos and its shaking the apartment . Love it 😍
Bass level should be increased to +6 or +8 , it will go crazy and shake the room. I have this in my bedroom and the experience is aweeesomeeeeee.!!!
But a bit expensive for sure!!
I have the black and most definitely looks more elegant. But it’s a matter of preference.
That's odd I never had any problems setting up the sub woofer. It made a huge difference in the sound quality. I did run the trueplay app on my wife's apple phone. It improved the sound by a huge margin.
My only beef is sonos needs to make an Android friendly app. I do agree with you. You gotta drop some serious dollars on a sonos system. But the wireless option is pretty tempting.
Set the sub to +10 and it will hit even on low volume , EQ +5-7 bass and +6 treble and it just crazy :D
Im not trying to cause yellowstone 10.0 earthquake
Why you cranking the treble up on a sub bro lmao
Dope honest review , thanks
Crank up the bass level in the app. Powerful.
I just ordered a Gen 3 sub and watching this review still made me feel really comfortable and happy with still buying this
It’s an excellent sub!
@@DayoAworunse esp when I used a 15% off from the freshly stocked refurbished section off their site
I have 2 with the arc and 2 era 100z. Definitely needs higher volume wich not a fan of. But.......
You HAVE to adjust the sub and eq settings!!!!
Thank you for this video brother! A lot of brands have higher end and lower end models. A lot of the higher end sound-bars are around the same price. The Sonos Beam is much cheaper.
It depends on budget, space, taste and preference at the end…
Temujin I have a Sonos Play 5’s. Would I pair them with the Sound Beam or Arc? Can I pair with either?🤔
Thanks for the video! I just bought a Sonos Sub Gen 3 and noticed that it has a buzzing humming sound during standby and when the music is on. I also have it connected to my Sonos Arc.
Did you notice it with your Sonos Sub Gen 3? Wondering if this is normal..
I haven't had any issues setting my system up ..must be an apple thing ....anyway. if u want more base go into the eq settings and turn it up...my shit shakes at 0 but since u want more base turn that shit up to 5 or go crazy and go
10 ....I still stand by my last comment. Still an amazing system ..
after a couple a days I guess it did some auto calibration, and it’s set to -3 cause 0 my place is THUMPING
Got the dual sub set up, AMAZING! Debating on swapping the ONE SL''s for the FIVES.
You’re trying to have the whole street vibrating!
It's nuts, I love it. Just can't do the True Play because I have Android. Not sure if it'll make a difference.
Dual wow!
Turn up just the sub in the app
I think the same, he should change the settings on the app
There is no way you tweeked the sub and surround settings if you think it isn’t worth it, I literally adjusted both of mine when I thought the same and it’s a PHENOMENAL set up.
Sonos is like Bose good products but always overpriced but for me Sonos yes is expensive but is the best, some people like expensive jewelry or expensive shoes I know people that bought nikes shoes for more than 2k and they are not even new or expensive rims for their car, for me I like music, movies whit the best sound possible so this Sonos is totally worth it
It's been a year since I made this video and I agree
I just subscribed, I like your videos dude. Keep it up!
More videos coming this year
You should try the SVS SB3000 micro, such a crazy little sub, raplaced m'y sonos sub with it and im not regretting the investment. (Sonos amp + Buchardt S400)
i own 2 sonos five gen3 and i am thinking to get this sub, i am really curious if its worth with this combo, anyone have experience with this combo? anyway i loved your review, it is a kind of sleeping giant, suddenly it woke up😅🤣
Dune! Love the cinematography just too much. Great Video, Dayo. I don't know if the price justifies the setup experience and the sound experience, from what I can see here. Aside that, great video.
And this is why reviewers use the product for a week or two before making a video about them. 😂 You're keeping it real for first time setup, but good Lord, a little patience? When it's connected, there's room placement, EQ, integration with the system, watching full length movies, listening to some music..
Should be at least 3-4 days before you have an actual sense of the thing, maybe a week or two before making a nuanced user review.
Maybe give the sub couple of weeks of running in then set up using Trueplay. After that you can adjust accordingly. Out of the box especially speaker cones, surrounds and spiders can be a little stiff.
I had a similar issue with connecting my sub mini to my Beam+Symfonisk. It would disconnect a few minutes later once I re-connected countless times. I tried wireless and wired since my router was a few feet away. Ended up returning the sub mini and replacing it with a Gen 3 Sub. I ended up have the exact same issue with the Gen 3 sub. Turned out the issue was the sub was too close to the router. The Gen 3 sub connected the 1st time and stayed connected for months once I move the sub to opposite side of the room away from the router.
The issue would happen even when you were wired ?
@@DayoAworunse Yes, the Beam Gen 1 had zero issues being next to the router. I just couldn't get the sub mini or Gen 3 sub to stay connected wired or wireless when next to the router. Still staying 100% connected once I moved the sub to the other side of the room.
you can increase the volume of the sub in the app to match your preference
I was thinking he don’t go deeper in Sonos app
@@hectorbetancourt5642 I set it to +3
I actually like it that it’s not that crazy on lower volumes but when I crank the volume up I can blow my windows out.
@@DayoAworunse ok, I’m still learning English so I don’t know how to ask properly but where you give that value where it says EQ or sound sub?
@@hectorbetancourt5642 Go to Sub Sound and turn that up. Even at low volumes you can get great bass around +8
Enjoyed this. I have the beam gen 2 and the sub mini. My reaction to the sub mini was just the same as you. Is it actually working? I placed my hand inside the gap and sure enough, yes, it was vibrating the speakers. But, it is subtle. I haven’t cranked up the settings as others have suggested. But it does make a difference even at low levels. From other reviews I watched it appears that the sub mini works in tandem with the beam gen 2, and off loads the bass aspect to the sub mini freeing the beam gen 2 to concentrate on the mid and high tones. That in turn gives the sound bar more capacity to play those aspects. Maybe that’s what is happening to your system as well. I was relieved to know that you experienced something similar albeit with a much ore ore expensive system. For me it confirms that I shouldn’t expect massive bass from the system, more that it is integrated into the overall sound. I do however appreciate the points other have raised that I can alter the EQ levels, and as you point out, crank up the volume. Thanks a for your honest opinion.
Honesty is the best policy. Also it’s nice to see someone had the same experience as me and I’m not crazy 😉
first thing to do is to put the sub where you are seating play some heavy bass music then crawl around the room until you hear the most bass. This is where the sub goes.
Yeah mine was awesome after wirelessly bonding on Sonos net 5 GHz from the sub to the arc
Recently just added the Sonos amp and two in ceiling Polk, audio 75 W speakers, 5.1 system complete Dolby Atmos Dolby Vision incredible.
Great, video. New to the Sonos brand, have the Arc SL and SL ones (2), on the fence for the sub or mini sub.
did u crank up the sub volume or the volume for the entire system?
HomePod +HomePod +Apple TV= 👍💪🏻
Turn up the Bass in the EQ setting on the app my guy!
I have a Sonos Sub and Arc. My room shakes. And that's on a low volume setting.
Just increase the SUB LEVEL and tweak the EQ for better sound at low levels ;)
I assume your room is carpeted. I tiled my fam room years ago and the acoustics were like night and day. I’m in a house. I love this Sonos configuration that I’ve had for about two weeks now. Great entertaining review, though.
The only room with carpet is the rug in the video coincidently. The sub was placed on the floor. I’ll have to do a follow up video because not sure if Sonos has some tuning as you use it because it sounds wayyy better after a week of using it
@@DayoAworunse so you kept it?
My arc is connected to the tv via a HDMI cable and to the router via ethernet, is it possible to connect the sub to router via ethernet and then use the whole setup without relying on wireless connectivity(without the arc and sub communicating via wifi)?
I brought my one for $1200 in my country and it’s worth it 😍😍
I have Sonos products, but if there is a HUGE complaint I have with it is that.. you NEED a Smartphone device to set this up... Why can't it just be plug and connect? Also, calibration is ONLY available on iOS devices for TruePlay set up. I can't use my Samsung Galaxy for setting Sonos Arc TruePlay. I highly recommend that if you don't have iPhone, and you have Android, get the JBL 9.1 or the Klipsch Cinema series instead. The price is similar.
4:12 100% agree with you bro
Dude this sub is outrageous There’s no wayyyyy you don’t feel that thing
Love your review style. So tired of the “professional” looking staged reviews that are paid off to give good reviews. They are such a waste of time. You’re review feels real. Please do the sub mini!
I took my advice and didn't think it was worth it so I returned it all. I'd have to re-buy it all for the sub mini, but was happy to see Sonos released something more "economy" friendly for their brand. Im more interested in them adding height channels for the rears as well (SLs)
nice vid, love your style and the personality you bring to the video.
This review was funny and real. Lmao still might cop tho
Love this review! :D Made my day.
were you on 12.14? it wrecked the sub output. They fixed it now, AND you can go into the system settings, room, sub settings and pump it to a higher level.
late to this video, there's a eq for the bass in the app, just jack it up!
I have the Sonos Arc and gen 2 sub. Originally setup the sub wirelessly beside my couch. Had trouble connecting the sub to the Arc, but finally got it to work. Then one day it stopped working and I could not get it to link up again. Ended up moving the sub to the front of the room so I could physically connect the sub to the router. Their products look great and perform well, but I will not buy another one due to the difficulties in keeping devices working wirelessly. For what they cost, the wireless connection should be easy to make and maintain. My personal experience mirrors your experience in getting the sub to connect wirelessly.
Good job buddy 👏
My hub installed with ease.
Loved your review!! You said EVERYTHING I was thinking...LOL! I was checking out your media cabinet...if you don't mind sharing, where did you get it? Also, do you find that keeping devices inside it and running them that it gets too hot? Thanks!
I got it from target in 2018. I don't notice if things get hot. I'd say no since not a lot of the things down there generate heat (Apple TV & Switch)
@@DayoAworunse thank you for the reply!
I like how he literally acts like a three year old, such a helpful review 😂😂
This Sub is awesome. Waiting on the 2nd one to come in. Might be overkill. Lol!
You deserve millions of subscribers and viewers Dayo. I hope I get there soon. Great video as always 😎
I hope so too!
I have the sub and I love it.
You gained a subscriber! Bout it bout it 👍🏼✌🏼
the Lulu pants... best pants in the game.
who cares about Apple and Sonos sponsor when the real sponsor I want is Lululemon
I do not understand why people are complaining about the sonos subwoofer high cost unless it isn't worth its cost. Look, there are audiophiles spending over twice that amount on a single sub in a traditional hifi theater system. If audio passion isn't really your thing then a single soundbar should be your best.
If you're really into sound quality, the traditional hifi set-up is the best, not soundbar set-up because their subwoofers aren't really that impactful.
I noticed that you probably didn’t adjust the subwoofer volume.
I did, to +3
Think it did some auto calibration as days went on because it sounds much better than this initial unboxing
Yeh nah, i just bought an arc. Took 45 minutes bugging telling me my hdmi wouldn’t wasn’t connected/hdmi arc wasn’t on. Software isn’t positive so far. Also, google assistant so trashy and sonos one won’t lemme add my spotify. Arc disconected this morning too, another 30 minute process. Looking at a sub, idk if i can deal with the of constant setting up😭
Are moves compatible
that's a sonos bug, connect your sub via network cable into the arc bar, and disable wifi from sub and that will fix the issue. That's what I did
Woww , its impresive, it's really impressive 😍🎁💖
oh boy...my gen 3 is being delivered tomorrow....hope my experience is worth it ! ...btw...where'd u get those pants...they look comfortable > :)
Give it a couple of days, and it’ll get better.
Lululemon > :)
Got the sub and for my room daaamn it slaps, I got the base set to -3 for comfortable level
I live in Canada. Two years ago I purchased a 3rd Generation Sonos Sub. It cost after taxes was $1,015.87. So don't complain that it cost you $750. I have it piggy backing off of the Sonos Beam 1st. Generation. When the sub works off of the Beam the base is far more intense .
Canada is lol ..overpricing everything
It does suck to start it up, I had loads of fails too. You should however know if you spend so much money to do research and be able to use the sonos app to change settings. The sonos sub is fantastic and it does complete the system Its certainly not under whelming, its a huge improvement and you totally missed the point of this from this review I'm sure if you Look into the settings and you used it for a few days you will be in awe of it, The sonos arc sonos 1s and the sub is a fantastic set up.
But a fantastic honest review of your opinion.
I changed the sub settings up to +3 during the recording of the video and it was still underwhelming for the price I paid. Sure it’s a fantastic sub, it improved dramatically the following day. Still don’t think the price justifies it but at least you can buy each component separately.
U should try Samsung Q990C
I bought a brand new Sonos package and exactly same problem as yours. Can't get sub to pair with Arc! Although it says it failed but still shows connected in the living room. So frustrating. No thunder at all from the sub. I am on android so can't even test the true play setting. Highly disappointed
And the rest of the Sonos stans think that we are the problem. In the video I eventually turned the sub to +3 to feel anything then after a couple of days it calibrated itself i guess and I has to set it to -3 or just off in regular viewing
This soundbar blows all the other soundbars away if you know what you're doing evidently this guy don't
Looking to add a 2nd sun to this exact setup haha!!
Did you end up keeping it? I’m looking at beam gen 2 + sub for bedroom.
No. But my friend has the same setup and he enjoys it. Just not worth it over my existing system for less than a 5th of the price.
@@DayoAworunse Thanks. Feel like I could get a solid soundbar+sub for $400
You adjust the sub in EQ to add more base
Might be a dumb question but can you pair the arc with a sub of a different brand
No
You can add the Sonos Amp for around $600 and you can connect wired speakers and subs to Sonos system. You won't have Trueplay with Amp connected devices.
I’m about to get 4 sonos fives and 2 subs you still like it?
With that setup, it’ll be hard not to like it, but your wallet might not like it
My 5.1 is superior, after your Trueplay, adjust the treble to max, bass, 7, sub 8, loudness on, you will change.. 👌🏻
Bass 7? You're trying to cause an earthquake 10.0?
Your video was absolutely aggravating to watch maybe if you didn’t complain every 3 1/2 ms I could’ve made it all the way to the end. I have a full Sonos system exact set up you have and it is unbelievable I have had many many audio systems in the past and I would never go back again don’t know what all your problem was but mine was fantastic I am a true Sonos fan for life now
Glad you enjoy your system, but that doesn't dismiss the setup process I went through for the sub, when following their directions, multiple times. Exaggerated a bit by falling asleep, but the issue was fixed when I stopped following their directions, by not allowing them to auto connect to my living room setup.
My last arc video was a breeze, complications happen in software and this is just the reality.
Sub was underwhelming for the price, but it is what it is. Rather have a full setup for half the cost of a sub. That's just my personal opinion and Sonos clearly isn't made for value-centric people. RTings put my $299 system a few decimals behind a full Sonos setup in the overall score so for people saying "STOP COMPARING YOUR TRASH SYSTEM TO SONOS", reputable sources say otherwise but...to each their own. The only thing I'll give Sonos is the software and speech clarity. The sound isn't anything "stellar", especially with all the hype Sonos fans try to convince you of. Maybe that's the sunken cost effect.
Other than that, it's overpriced for what it delivers.
I have had probably 10 different surround sounds systems in this is by far the nicest and best sounding opinions are like assholes everybody’s got one for me this is the best
i really think your being impatient in such a short space of time, give yourself some time man, adjust the settings on the app, the sub only benefits if your in a large room, you don`t appear to be in a large room, even if you use trueplay, its all about the size of you livingroom, and also the positioning of your sub
I spent over 15hrs, I have done all kind of configuration, reset it and it just won’t connect!!!!! This is in my opinion a complete disappointment! Regardless if I get it going, complete BS. I have the arc, 2 era100 and subwoofer and won’t connect. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The sub needs a running in period
Lol Got the sub yesterday I had 0 problems with set up.
You’re young, you’re strong, I’m 65 years old and I found it easy peasy…you do complain a lot…
Prices went up so much lately it is ridiculous…I paid 599 for mine and still thought it was a lot for a sub. Maybe try loudness on? Will help with the low volumes
The Klipsch Cinema 700 is worth checking out. I am struggling to update it, but the cost is dirt cheap compared to it's identical cousin Klipsch Cinema 800 which is nearly 1000. The sub is the real deal and most audiophile reviewers say it is too much, but it is never loose or boomy
Sonos buddy, focus 🧘♂️
My arc sub sounds amazing
Need to get surround speakers
Did you ever end up getting the surround speakers? I feel like surround adds more immersion
