AVOID!!!
I bought Arc last month and it popped when connected to my ps5. This is a known bug for nearly 3 years and Sonos has not fixed it. This is an expensive equipment and center piece to their home theatre system. It is infuriating to say the least. Here is an article with evidence from a reputed tech journalist:
Tom Warren's verdict:
"
If you're even considering a Sonos Arc soundbar to use with an Xbox Series X or Apple TV 4K, avoid this $900 soundbar until Sonos has fixed this problem or can give us a more detailed response. Otherwise, you'll probably be left like hundreds or thousands of other Sonos customers with a Dolby Atmos soundbar that can't handle Dolby Atmos properly."
Edit: this pop is loud af. There are YouTube videos with how loud it is.
For what it's worth, we've had 4 Sonos One for years, a few Beams since they first released, and a refurb arc from the official website. Have never had any issues with any of them.

I've read these bars can have a lot of issues. It's kept me from buying refurbs
And the Sonos eBay feedback is 91%. Not looking like a smart purchase

You must not spend a lot of money if you only buy items with 92% or higher feedback 😂
But in all honesty I own over a dozen Sonos products including the arc and had zero issues with them. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a reset and many close to 10 years old. I love my arc. Use the warranty if it's bad?

Probably a good thing I don't own a PS5 or XBox (or any gaming system) and don't watch anything with Atmos on my TV ... but then again, the RV is a little small for a full surround system... (and a sound bar is never going to do atmos justice anyway)

Same here. Biggest issue I had was using Sonos for Google Assistant during their court battles. They kept adding and removing features.
Other than that, as long as you have TV with e-ARC and good wifi their speakers are solid and sound fantastic. I've had a One purchased new for 4 years, 3 SLs for 2 years that are factory refurbs, and added the Beam 2 refurb last year + a new Sub Mini. Couldn't be happier.

I'm curious of the setup on these. Is the soundbar connected directly to the device or to the TV? Two of my friends have had the Arc since it's release and have had no issues, but they're using the e-arc HDMI port on their TVs to transmit audio from all of their devices.

Yep, same thing with my Xbox Series X. I turned off Dolby Atmos though and there is no issue. Okay, you don't get to use Dolby Atmos with your new console, but it is what it is. The Arc is still pretty damn good. When I first got mine and had the problem I looked into it and apparently a lot of soundbars have the same issue with PS5 and Xbox. So I decided to keep the Arc and just not use Atmos with Xbox. It's fine.

That's really the only way it can be setup, barring having a full on audio receiver. I was having a minor issue with audio cutting in and out and was basically told to pull the AppleTV. I did, and it's been mostly fine since then (I needed one more reset with a slightly different issue). I'm hoping this is something they can fix with a firmware update.
