The Sonos Arc Ultra Soundbar and Sub 4 Subwoofer
Pump up the volume so you don’t have to read your favorite shows
Sonos has gotten quite bitter criticism since launching its first headphones, the superb Sonos Ace, back in June. If you believe the technology press, the company has been in permacrisis since then—the Sonos app was deemed terrible and the products not great, and even the headphones case was decried as a disaster. (For me, it’s the best case I’ve seen.)
It’s all slightly baffling because we’ve been trying their latest TV soundbar, the Sonos Arc Ultra, and the optional subwoofer, called the Sub 4, and, as with the headphones, found them absolutely glorious. You can also add in Sonos rear speakers to go for a fully immersive setup. (We didn’t.) Or you can integrate your Sonos Ace headphones so they automatically take over from the home-theater sound when you put them on your head.
