If you have a larger entertainment area, the Sonos Arc is one of the smartest soundbars out there, and a great starting block to an immersive multiroom movie and music system. It also supports voice controls via Alexa and Google Assistant, making it one of the smartest soundbars you can buy. Thanks to Sonos’ TruePlay technology, the Arc can automatically tune itself to whatever room it’s in to deliver the crispest, most accurate audio possible. There are no height speakers built into the Sonos Arc to take care of Dolby Atmos content from the soundbar itself, but you can easily add a pair of Sonos Era 300 rear surrounds to get the full effect from the immersive format. Sonos doesn't mention the audio configuration, but nevertheless it doesn’t skimp on sound performance, delivering deep bass and clear treble for your favorite movies and TV shows.
