Sonos Sound Bars

A lot of us spend more time than ever in front of our television, watching shows or movies, gaming, or even virtual meetings and hangouts. Today it is easy to find thin televisions that offer every feature imaginable, sharp 4K resolution, even up to ultra-realistic 8K resolution, plus apps, voice controls, and lots more. These great modern televisions may be thin and unobtrusive, but generally their internal speakers are not the best. This is where a soundbar comes in. Sure, you can get a large, full speaker system, but why not get a modern solution for a modern problem? The Sonos Beam and Sonos Arc are two of the best soundbars on the market, and the perfect minimalist solution to your home entertainment needs.

The Sonos sound system is one of the best multi-room Wi-Fi systems available. Sonos created speakers that can seamlessly create a house sound system, allowing for high-quality listening in a variety of rooms and zones all at once. The entire Sonos lineup has built-in Alexa, allowing for you to control Echo devices and some televisions. Sonos sound bars can be used as standalone devices, or be integrated into a more complete sound system; they’re expandable as time, space and budget allows. Sonos sound bars are widely recognized as some of the best available in their class, known for their high-quality sound and ability to fill a room, creating a cinematic experience.

Sonos Beam vs Sonos Arc: what’s the difference?

Sonos offers two different soundbars: Sonos Beam and Sonos Arc.

Sonos Beam has been around for a few years, and it’s a very compact option that still packs full, room-filling audio. The Beam has HDMI Arc and optical input options, allowing for easy wired-connections for beautiful sound. The Beam is also easily fully integrated within Alexa systems, allowing for control of all Echo devices, some televisions, and your soundbar, naturally. The Beam gets very loud while maintaining good quality, making it a terrific option for people looking for a soundbar to use in a smaller space.

Sonos Arc is the newest soundbar offering from Sonos. It features a curved design, meant to be an accent to your décor – not an eyesore. It is significantly larger than Beam, but also offers high quality sound. The Arc is an upgrade in integration possibility, allowing use with both Alexa and Google devices and systems. Sonos Arc is perfect for someone willing to splurge a bit for the newest features and capabilities, but the Beam is a solid standby for someone that does not need access to those features but still wants a speaker capable of filling a room with high-quality sound.

You can also still find the Sonos Playbar, which was one of the first Sonos sound bar products.

How Do I Choose a Sonos sound bar?

You should select a soundbar that fits your needs and budget. Sonos Arc and Sonos Beam both offer cinema-style sound that fills the room. The Sonos Arc is better for a home that predominantly uses Google devices and integrated systems, as the Sonos Beam only has Alexa integration capabilities.

Take Your Sonos sound system to the next level

Once you have a Sonos soundbar, you will fall in love and it will be tempting to add more speakers to your home speaker system. Add a Sonos Sub to your soundbar to create more full and rich low frequency sounds, perfect for someone that loves to watch action flicks or listen to music. The Sub is perfectly paired with the Sonos Arc, and can be used as part of a multi-speaker surround system for a home theatre.

Want to create a home theatre sound system that would impress any audiophile? Add some Sonos ONE SL speakers to round out your mid-range sound and wirelessly have speakers surrounding your television viewing area. The Sonos ONE SL speakers can be used alone, and feature top of their class sound, Alexa and Google integration capability, and (like all Sonos products) use Wi-Fi rather than wires to create a connected multi-speaker system. Sonos ONE SL are perfect for placing near the couch, or hidden on end tables, to create an immersive viewing experience. Add any (or all!) of these Sonos products to your home to create the perfect home sound system.
