What you get is an extraordinarily wide soundstage that feels noticeably expansive.Īlthough there aren’t any up-firing speakers to give significant height to the Atmos mix, the virtualisation still adds a tangible three-dimensional element to films and music. It’s powered by four front-facing elliptical mid-woofers, an improved tweeter in the centre and three passive radiators for the lower, deeper frequencies, all backed up by five amplifiers. The beam soundbar is as sonically impressive as it’s always been. The compact mid-range speaker still sounds great, but it now has a more stylish plastic grill design that brings it in-line with the larger, more premium Sonos arc, as well as bringing onboard Dolby Atmos virtualisation and HDMI eARC support.
The second-generation version of the Sonos beam is a lot like the first model. Voice assistant? Alexa and Google Assistant.Sound formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, Dolby True HD, DTS.Connections: Optical, HDMI ARC/eARC, ethernet, wifi, AirPlay 2.Although this is a pretty expensive soundbar, it’s easily one of the best we’ve tested. And we found that claim to be surprisingly accurate, with some definite thump. There’s no subwoofer included – the beosound stage literally doesn’t support one, with B&O promising that the beosound stage doesn’t need one in order to deliver booming bass. The sound is impeccable, with both dialogue and music coming across clear and loud, and you can easily hear car chases speeding across the room. There’s also nifty controls for height channel virtualisation, turning the bass channel off or on and much more – it’s a very customisable machine. These can all be adjusted to your liking.
SONOS VS BOSE TV
The app includes all the usual sound profiles for movies, music, TV and night listening. With it, you’re able to optimise the audio based on its position in a room, so you’ll have the same listening experience even if the beosound stage is mounted on the wall or placed on a table. Inside, you’ll find 11 speaker drivers, each with its own amplifier, working in harmony to produce a pretty fantastic three-channel sound system.Įverything is controlled through the Bang & Olufsen app. The beosound stage is an expensive brushed aluminium beauty with some real oomph in the sound department. This premium soundbar from Bang & Olufsen is a real wonder.

SONOS VS BOSE FULL
Read the full Sonos arc review Buy now £ 899, We were, however, disappointed at the lack of HDMI ARC passthrough, so if you don’t have a TV that supports eARC, you won’t be able to hear Atmos on your Xbox or PS5.
SONOS VS BOSE PLUS
Plus the integration of both Alexa and Google Assistant is extremely welcome.
The sound really puts you in the middle of a film as the action spins around you, helped along by those upfiring speakers, which give the sound some lovely height. We also can’t understate how good the Dolby Atmos integration is, if your TV supports it. In the Sonos app, you also have the ability to run the nifty True Play tuning feature. It blasts a few bleeps as you wave your phone in the air to perfectly augment the sound to the shape of your room.
Sonos doesn’t bundle in a wireless subwoofer, so the bass might not roar, but if you crank the volume up loud enough, those woofers will still manage to get your heart pumping. It features 11 digital amplifiers – eight separate woofers and three silk-dome tweeters, which fire out in all directions for a completely immersive Dolby Atmos experience. Stretching over 1m in length, this sleek, cylindrical speaker suits bigger living rooms best, but if you’ve got a tinier flat and can fit this big boy in, you will appreciate the spectacular audio quality. The Sonos arc is a beast of a soundbar, in both size and sound. Separate subwoofer included? Not included, sold separately.Voice assistant?
