  • “For years, we’ve been using our Apple TV box with a Sonos Arc soundbar. There’s always been an annoying delay in sound starting up when you first initiate content. [...]”

  • “Admittedly the horrible Sonos Arc or Beam or whatever I used to have before I got this sick Samsung thing at an estate sale only has one HDMI port and that's input, not output. Turns out I haven't been using the subwoofer this whole time, besides the random audio glitches of TV data stutter.”

  • “Ok I just ordered a mid end sound bar. Not Sonos cos I did not like the sound quality of their mid end products and the high end is out of my price range. Funny thing is this mid end I bought was universally compared with the high end Sonos arc and the reviews were all like they are about the same.”
