JBL Bar 5.1 Surround vs Sonos Arc

Verdict

The JBL Bar 5.1 Surround is a great choice for those looking to upgrade their sound system. It has a premium build and materials, plenty of power, and can fit in front of most any TV without blocking the screen. However, it lacks dynamic control of the sound and may not provide realistic sound reproduction compared to other models.

Verdict

Overall, the Sonos Arc receives mixed reviews. Many users praise its impressive Dolby Atmos performance and room correction feature, as well as its compatibility with Alexa and Airplay. However, some users have had difficulty setting it up and have experienced issues with sound quality, particularly with distorted bass and muffled sound. Some users also note that it may not be a significant improvement over other Sonos products or older sound systems. Additionally, there have been some complaints about connectivity and compatibility with TVs. Despite these mixed reviews, the Sonos Arc remains a popular choice for those looking for a smart soundbar with Dolby Atmos capabilities.
