Sonos Arc (2020)

Sonos’s flagship soundbar packs 11 drivers including dedicated height channels into a single bar for Dolby Atmos playback without rear satellites. A single HDMI eARC connection handles all audio from your TV, but there’s no HDMI passthrough — so you lose one TV port. Ethernet and Wi-Fi keep it connected for AirPlay 2 and Sonos multiroom, and an included optical-to-HDMI adapter covers older TVs without ARC. The catch: Dolby Atmos requires a Dolby Digital Plus or TrueHD source over eARC, not just any HDMI connection.
