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
Linus has been making MLP references in episodes since before he had kids, we all know they weren't there and he was bumping that Winter Wrap Up for himself
This week on Linus makeovers we’re going to be building an extension on my home... oh and uh.... we’re going to put Ethernet cables in or some shit idk
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.
@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)
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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...
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.
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.
Linus basically confirming that he's a brony in the comments makes me so happy lmao. I'm also really surprised to see the comments aren't toxic towards bronies at all. Are there really that many MLP fans that also watch LTT? Cause if so, that's pretty neat ^^
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.
I have a dozen Sonos products including a full Arc surround system, S2 is a fantastic app. Everything works flawlessly. The sound is fucking amazing from the Arc
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
The reason the dialog sound better is simple trickery called compression. In a decent Home Cinema setup you need to set the volume so you hear the dialog clearly. That's how the sound was mastered / intended. The problem is that, either it sound crap due to cheap speakers or it will bother the neighbors. As a consequence people turn down the volume and have a hard time understanding the dialogs. Thats where compression comes into play (AV Receiver have a option for this, too). It reduces the difference between quite and loud sounds drastically to get a "overall normalized" sound level. Good for the neighborhood, bad for a great movie experience.

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?
Even when I have RUclips Premium, Linus always brings in ADs about his sponsors
Floatplane...
RUclips Vanced automatically skips sponsor slots ;)
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.
Love those info graphics. High energy yet clean. Good work who ever worked on it
FYI the sonos sound bar adjust automatically based on the size of the room.
Also why not just use optical cable instead, so you dont lose your ports?
You forgot to do the trueplay tuning setup, ONLY available on IOS though.
Linus: upgrades his house with expensive hardware
Also Linus: that’s a business expense
👀🤗
"This week on LTT we -tricked- got a company to send over more tech, so we can put in Linus house!"
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.
Ha, this is the video because it attracts tons of views. Glad you got it done. It is a great bar, the whole set is nice.
lmao linus got clowned "we all knoe his kids weren't there" im dead
"It even looks good in my living room"
*shows a picture that's not in his living room*
Love the arc paired with the ones and the sub. Its really good for the area I have.
Best sponsor segue you've done so far
Best sponsor transition yet
Linus: Makes excuse to watch MLP for a Sound bar test

What camping trip video is playing on the TV? Must've missed that one!
I think it is this:
ruclips.net/video/LHJoyREobok/видео.html
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.
Soundbars are where its at bro, they dont take up much space, they can look extremely good and have cool interfaces and the sound is real good
That PC38x is godly btw for anyone wondering
Linus: Buys a product and forgets about it
Product: Please. Review me
Its cold, i am hungry
hehe, Linus is a brony.
Linus: *MLP*
Bronies: "Who called? Wait- Linus?!"
Honestly this is such a win
that Sennheiser plug...very smoove
The reason the dialog sound better is simple trickery called compression. In a decent Home Cinema setup you need to set the volume so you hear the dialog clearly. That's how the sound was mastered / intended. The problem is that, either it sound crap due to cheap speakers or it will bother the neighbors. As a consequence people turn down the volume and have a hard time understanding the dialogs. Thats where compression comes into play (AV Receiver have a option for this, too). It reduces the difference between quite and loud sounds drastically to get a "overall normalized" sound level. Good for the neighborhood, bad for a great movie experience.
Me how did u forgot to review this
My wallet: Who cares my answer will always be noooooooo
Q: What do you call a fake noodle?
A: An im-pasta.
True, everytime
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 should probably be getting my schoolwork done
That segway to your sponsor was revolutionary
"A sound bar that doesn't suck" Roll credits.
