Sonos makes some seriously bold claims for its new Dolby Atmos soundbar’s performance, saying that it features ‘breakthrough’ speaker tech and “up to double the bass” of the original Arc.
The Arc Ultra’s main rivals, the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 and Samsung HW-Q990D, are a fair bit more expensive, but the Samsung comes with a wireless sub and wireless surrounds in the box. The Arc Ultra (£999 on its own) with the Sub 4 and a pair of Dolby Atmos-enabled Era 300 speakers in the ‘Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc Ultra’, which is how we’re testing it here, comes in at £2426.
The Atmos-enabled Era 300 speakers are the surrounds in this package
