This fairly low-key launch introduces two new products ideal for any home entertainment system, so we’ve taken a deeper dive into the specs.
If you’re looking for the best soundbar on the market, Sonos is a brand we tend to gravitate towards. While we’ll have to wait for reviews, we expect the Ultra to be yet again another solid choice.

Sonos announces the Arc Ultra
In a community post on the Sonos website, we can learn all about this impressive new soundbar. As the name would suggest, it’s a premium soundbar that offers some improvements over the current lineup. We’ve summarized a few of those new additions and upgrades just below:
- Sound Motion – a new “revolutionary transducer technology” that aims to provide improved sound to smaller products
- “Double the bass of its predecessor” with 9.1.4 spatial audio
- All-new architecture with 14 Sonos-engineered drivers
- Improved serviceability and more eco-friendly packaging
- Reduced idle power consumption by “as much as 20%” compared to the Arc
The Arc Ultra will be available to buy from October 29th, 2024. It is priced at $999 USD / €999 EUR / £999 GBP.
There’s also the Sub 4 to think about
In tandem with the Sonos Arc Ultra launch comes the Sub 4. Sonos calls this its “most immersive subwoofer, revamped”. Any home theater isn’t complete without a subwoofer for excellent bass tones, so it makes sense to see these two launch together. The Sub 4 uses dual custom woofers to generate low frequencies while neutralizing distortion with its inward-facing design. Furthermore, it boasts “increased processing power and memory” and new WiFi radios for improved connectivity.
Sub 4 will also be available to buy beginning October 29th, 2024. It is priced at $799 USD / €899 EUR / £799 GBP. It is compatible with previous generations of the Sub range.
