Black Friday deals don't always end when Black Friday is over. Take the What Hi-Fi? Awards 2024 winning Sonos Arc, for example, which you can now get for just £589 at Richer Sounds.
As the current best mid-range option in our best soundbars guide, the Sonos Arc is guaranteed to elevate your TV experience to a whole new level.
In our Sonos Arc review we said the soundbar was the best in class for versatility, which is why it makes our list of 2024’s best Dolby Atmos soundbars. The Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 might be knocking on the door, but the Sonos Arc delivers equally competitive quality at a smaller price.
In our review, we concluded: "The Sonos Arc delivers one of the most convincing Atmos presentations of any soundbar we've heard. Height junkies can turn up the volume of the Arc's upward-firing drivers using a separate control, but we don't find it necessary to overly boost the vertical channel to enjoy the Arc's immersive delivery."
The Arc supports HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), meaning it can handle higher-quality Dolby Atmos signals from TVs that can output them. Other features worth mentioning include compatibility with more than 25 streaming apps: we're talking Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV, to name but a few. And, of course, there is an impressive soundfield generated by 11 Class D digital amplifiers that power 11 custom drivers, resulting in a powerful sound.
While the soundbar's replacement model, the Sonos Arc Ultra, has just hit the shops, there are plenty of reasons the older Arc is a competitive choice, and that doesn't come down simply to this bargain price. Don't forget that you can pair up the Arc with other Sonos speakers to create a complete surround sound arrangement, and include it, if you wish, in a multi-room system.
