    We went from a late 70's stereo radio with speakers half my height to a 5.1 Panasonic compact hi-fi. When the surround effects kicked in with the woofers cranked, it was a revelation! I think the jump from that to this would feel just as mind blowing! I'd be thumping tables too until my mom would thump my head 😂

      I have a fair pile of wireless Sonos speakers - Arc + 2 Era 300's plus Sub Gen 3 in the media room - Beam Gen 2 with 2 One SL's and a Sub Mini in the living room, 2 roams and 1 move, and never have any issues with the network except sometimes in the spa pool if I take one of the roams - I have 4 Google Nest Mesh hubs throughout my house though - perhaps your main problem with your wifi more than with the speakers?

    I remember watching your first video when you were harsh on Sonos and thinking how wrong you were. Glad you came around on Sonos. I have a Beam 2, Sub mini, two Era 300s as my home theater setup in my bedroom, plus two Era 100s that I Bluetooth to my computers. Fantastic product and sound. I know a lot of people are having issues with the new app but fortunately, that hasn't been a problem for me. Pre-ordered the Sonos Ace and I'll have it later this week.

    I’ve tried the Sonos ARC and Beam Gen 2 but returned them twice because of the center channel. The dialogue was clear but it wasn’t loud enough to hear at reference volume when the action scenes pick up and it was way too loud. I live in an apartment as well and my neighbors never complained but it was still too loud for my household. I was always reaching for the remote and that became annoying. Nothing against Sonos. Great sound and very convenient but even with replacements I got it wasn’t for me.
    I have Sony 7.2 AVR and yes it took a lot of time to setup but I don’t need to grab the remote multiple times during a movie/tv show. Maybe when Sonos releases a ARC Gen 2 with upgrades (particularly in the center channel) then I’ll check them out again for sure.
    Great video by the way!

    Dayo, I’m glad you came around. You represent the folks who tried both types of theatre systems. SOME audiophiles (not all) dismiss systems like this. This system is great for people who don’t have a lot of space and want a great experience. I will say they do have some other brands that are good. Like Seinheisser, Bang & olufsen, Bose and SAMSUNG. However Sonos has a great eco system and does sound great. The arc alone has 11 amps inside. I have the arc, sub gen 3 & era 300’s. (Someone will say.. I’m a fan boy) not really.. I don’t have a lot of space and love good sound. Like you, I don’t want to spend a few thousand dollars on just a high end receiver when I can get a full package. Great and honest review. The sub mini is powerful as well too. Sonos consistently releases speaker updates to make it even better as well… their app is currently a work in huge progress. It’ll be fixed over time.

    Thank you so very much for the apology. I bought myself a Sonos beam GEN 2 which worked well, but I need more so I bought the sub mini with it and it was much much better. I now have the arc along with the sub mini and I can say that I had absolutely no issues setting it up, and the sound quality for me was very good and I was pleased. I do know that the Sonos app has issues for a lot of people, but my set up it was very simple for this the arc and the sub mini. Again, thank you for the apology. I really enjoy your videos.

    Great if your priority is music, as that's Sonos' background. Not so great if you want theatre-level surround sound and a better sound stage, Sony and others are better for movies. I just picked up the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 and it's considerably more immersive than the Arc, it also supports the codecs home theatre fans are using, i.e. uncompressed audio from discs such as DTS X and DTS HD.

    I'm kinda old school, love my tower speakers and yes using cables. I rarely use my headphones 🎧 simply because of out of sync, how is the delay using wireless speakers? I'd hate to watch an action on screen and an explosion happens before I actually hear the sound.

    • @Beer_Dad1975
      @Beer_Dad1975 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      There is no delay as long as you connect the soundbar to the TV's ARC (Audio Return Channel) or preferably eARC and your TV isn't really old. I have 2 Sonos soundbar setups - a Beam Gen 2 with 2 One SL's and a Sub Mini in the living room connected to a 6 year old Panasonic 55" TV, and a Arc with 2 Era 300's and a Sub Gen 3 connected to a 3 year old 65" Panasonic TV, and neither has any delay. There is the option for tuning for delay in the Sonos app, but I've never had to use it, nor do I know anyone who has.
      One thing I would say about Sonos is last month they replaced the all important app with a new version - and the new version is utterly awful. They released it too soon to avoid delaying the release of the Sonos Ace headphones - and it was a huge mistake. They are fixing the app, but right now I really can't recommend Sonos - as without a decent app, they are sunk. Maybe give it a month or two and see if they've fixed all the issues.

    Big ups on being an Adult. But Sonos is Sonos always have and always will be nothing but a glorified Bose system ( Which is not good ) Constantly Bluetooth and WiFi issues. And prior systems with there fake 5.1 claims. ( You needed a TV to read Dolby 5.1 codec because the Soundbar would not) I would not put it pass them not wanting to pay licenses fees. They started out as a speaker system for your home and their mesh network was there selling point. Not there speakers or the sound of them. ( Which has gotten better) HTIAB Is a shortcut. Do the Homework and you can find better separate options. But HTIAB has great convenience and no rear wires to run. But Sonos is just the new Bose.

    A Wireless sound system system better than Sonos? The Samsung Q990c.
    I sold my Sonos system after 3 years. The Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub Gen 3 and both rear SL speakers are over hyped in my opinion because the dialogue was lacking. I didn't expect the lack of separation in dialogue from sound/music. It became difficult to hear what was being said. I had to use subtitles frequently especially with movies and sports (crowd noise interfered with commentators play by play). I tried all types of fixes over the years that were suggested in Reddit posts. Unfortunately nothing worked.
    The Samsung Q990c has richer sound (music sounds more punchy and full)and the dialogue issue is fixed now.

    I'm sorry brother Sonos ant the move for home theater. The fact that you hooked up some random speakers and in your own words it sounded better is all you need to know. Easy setup does not trump sound quality. For multi room sound Sonos is a great option, for a "Home Theater" not so much. Also your using the term home theater loosely. Having a sound bar does not transform your living room into a home theater, I'm just saying...
