Any news about upward firing rear speakers in the works?

Not true Josh. They now support DTS but not the DTS-X (object base and HD lossless). Sadly I doubt they will add further support.

You’re welcome 😊 I hope you got some value out of the points I made.

Thanks Tim! I’ve got a cool one coming out tonight about the Sonos Beam so watch out for that 😊

Cheers mate. The Q900T is a great soundbar. Enjoy 😁

Thanks Luke, I'm working on one right now and it'll be out tonight 😁

That’s Fermin! That means a lot! I’m working on bringing out even better videos in the next few months so hopefully that number will continue to rise 😊 Thanks for the sub!

Definitely me too 👍😉💪

@@brandonchutt312 I never had problems with it

Sonos is just expensive, imagine having to spend an arm and a leg with each part. They have even increased their prices. They love to milk people of money. Always on backorder. I don’t want to support that kind of company, even if I had the money to buy. I saw one person who purchased an arc, two five speakers, two subs. I could just imagine how much he spent on it, also if he bought other sonos products, the price would be over the roof.

I hear a lot of people say they don’t like how they charge for each item. The way I look at is they allow you to make the setup you want rather than other companies that box everything together and don’t give you options. I much prefer to customise what I’m buy and yes it’s much more expensive than other brands but their products are made super well and sound awesome not to mention the software is best in class. In any category of product you’ll get the cheap and expensive brands… Sonos has chosen the expensive route and have put of lot of money into making their products best-in-class.

@@archwaytech that’s like buying a car with one tire. 🙈

I disagree. If you buy a car you can customise it however you want. Different sound systems, what color you want. What kind of materials the inside will have, Leather, cloth etcetera. What you say is like buying a car and every brand is the color black and you can not change tires on it even between summer and winter :)

Yeah it can vary widely... Here in NZ a full Sonos Setup is $3600 NZD whereas the Samsung is $2300 RRP but can be found for around $1400.

@@archwaytech It's quite incredible how different products can be from market to market. Even in the US you have to pay more than $2,000 for the sonos (without stands or mounts), meanwhile the samsung is less than $1,500 most places

Is it that good?...would you recommend it over the Sonos?

@@kayodefashola9226 I would say it's better than Sonos stuff in every way. Sonos might be worth it if you're in their ecosystem though. I have Google Home, so my music can be cast to the TV and it comes out of the Samsung sound system too 👍

What is Nvidia shield use for? Is it better than Apple TV?

Nvidia shield is an alternative to an Apple TV. It’s android tv based so often people use them to play games or stream movies amongst other more complicated use cases. If you’ve got an Apple TV I wouldn’t bother buying an Nvidia Sheild.

Thank you for your support! Appreciate it!! 😊

Yeah unfortunately it is. Currently Sonos doesn’t support a 7 channel setup. Hopefully they change that in the future tho.

Thanks Ahmad! I appreciate your comment :)

I have the lg b9 which my Sonos was hooked up to before I got my Sony a80j. It works just fine on the b9, Samsung should as well. I have a 3.1 hw-q70r hooked up to my b9 now

@@TravionMusic Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.

@@winstondas no problem at all. The eARC port works perfect on all LG TVs. You get the delay issues more with a Sony tv, but I haven’t had any with mine. You’ll enjoy the Sonos a lot more. It sounds better and better with each update. It’ll blow you away. But Samsung is just as good

Nice work @TravionMusic I totally agree. I’ve installed the Sonos on a couple B9’s and haven’t had any issues. The LG picks it up straight away and sets up the universal remote. I’ve heard about the rear speakers disconnecting on the Samsung but you can easy pair them back up again. Sometimes you just get faulty units but that can happen with any tech product.

Tough decision to make on which way to go for primarilly movie. Sonos without Sub OR Samsung Q950a. They both cost around the same with these configurations.

Yes it can. That’s what HDMI Arc is for. Any sound that would normally come through the TV speakers will come through the soundbar. Hope this helps

@@archwaytech sure does, thanks.

Thanks Saeed! 😀 1. Sonos sell wall brackets for the Ones but I purchased these... amzn.to/3yanl67 They're half the price and are really well built. 2. I have mine installed 10cm from the ceiling. Ideally you have them just above ear height but once you do the tuning, it does a good job of figuring out where it is in the room. I like the getting them out of the way and in the corners of the room. Hope that helps.

@@archwaytech Thank you very much. I appreciate your help so much 😊

@@saeedhn12 if you’re into Sonos… Get the One SL stands… They’re well-made and put the speakers at ear height.

@@tripleseven8361 Thank you very much. Actually, our sofa mounted in the wall and the Sonos stand has to be behind the sofa. Also the the height of Sonos stand is less than our height of sofa which is the sound will not be at ear. That’s why we are interested for wall mounted to install them at ear level.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback 😁

I haven't yet, but will be getting one in soon for a review and comparison

Lol consider me subscribed then for more content!

Yeah I’d go Samsung in your case and plug the Nvidia Shield into the bar. I have the 55 NU8000. It was the most underrated TV of 2018 in my opinion. I got all my friends and family to buy it.

Sonos just has a better subwoofer and you pay minimum $800.00 more but most reviewers say Samsung's soundbar is better for movies which is the only reason 99.9% of people buy Surround Sound for. Bass is good but subwoofers are usually quiet for 80+% of all movies while the soundbar is 100% on for everything.

I used Honey… Chrome Extension.

Thanks Ricky for the feedback 😊 Yeah you can connect the Sonos speakers via Airplay to the Apple TV. I did this for a while as I had my Apple TV plugged into a monitor that didn’t have hdmi arc. Just note, You will have to connect them manually every time you turn everything on. Another way to do it would be to purchase an Arcana HD Fury which lets you connect the Apple TV to this device and then an eARC connection out to the soundbar. Hope this helps 😊

@@archwaytech Thank You So much 🙏🙏

You know there's that famous saying that "Just cause it's expensive doesn't mean it's really good " I noticed that when I brought the q900a as well and I'm super happy !!! The only downside is what you mentioned but the pain in the ass is keep moving up to see the display and the lint roller but other than that the soundbar is a GEM !

@@justforviews3802 I mostly look at the app, so I don't have to get up.

I use the Honey Chrome Extension for price history.

No i didn’t. I found it to be buggy when testing it with a Qn85 and haven’t got it working well since.

It will become a 9.1.4 just because the swa9500s doesn't come with side firing like the 950a

Yeah if it's double the price and you're happy with the Q950a being a stand alone system then it's harder to justify the extra 1,000 Euros. I'd go for the Q950a in that case.

@@archwaytech Thanks for the reply. I have another one question. My 2021 Samsung TV (Q80A) does not support Dolby Atmos. What do I have to do in order to get Dolby Atmos Experience?

No worries. I just had a look and it says the Q80a has an HDMI eARC port. (You might want to check that) If it does then you can connect the Q950a to that port and get Dolby Atmos.

@@archwaytech Yes it does. I didnt know that it was that simple. Thanks a lot, much appreciated.

All good man 😊 Enjoy

So why did you switch to Sonos?

Why buy a 5.1 when the Q950A is 11.1 hope you have no problems / reading numerous Comments from SANOS owners - customer service is terrible & offshore help - English is their 3rd language !!!!!!!

@@bondjames7007 I am very curious to heard what are the complains you are talking about the Sonos…🤷‍♂️🤔🙄. I am asking because I received today a JBL 9.1 sound bar that is still in the box but not sure if I am going to returned to Amazon to buy rather the new Sony HT-A9 or Sonos arc with gen 3 and a pair of SL ones rear speakers, thanks. PS I am also hearing a lot of complaints about the speakers of the Sony HT-A9 drooping out so it’s a bummer to have to invest so much money in a brand new sound system that not come working flawlessly from the factory. Ironically I own another complete Panasonic Technics home theater in my family room that is still working flawlessly even It’s already over 15 years old.

@@raymondmorales8252 We did a lot of Research - read that it is better to stay with the Manufacturer of the TV & the Speakers from same Company. Compatibility can be a huge problem - Sonos do not make a TV - & we read Sonos did have compatible issues with certain TV’s. The Q950A Samsung Soundbar & Speakers (11.1) are the latest Technology & having a Samsung 4K - they are made for each other. No good getting another Brand, only to find out there are issues. You can’t return the Speakers. Apparently you will miss out on full functionality if you go with other Brands….plus the Samsung Speakers are are cheaper.,,,

@@bondjames7007 Thanks for your quick reply. I bought a few months back a Samsung AU 8000 65” smart TV for my room. But after searching a lot of reviews about the latest and greatest sound bar systems to be very honest with you I am not completely sold in the Samsung 950 A sound bar. Even it’s the same brand of my new Samsung TV, and also heard that his atmos special effects its better than most of the others brands and options that are available but since I am more into music rather than movies I am more inclined to buy the Sonos arc better. I was sold after hearing a comparison test between both sound bars in a sorround sound test that was performed in this same youtube page a few weeks back. But both products are very good quality, at end it’s all about personal preference I guess. I also understand the Sonos its a little more expensive but this doesn’t matter to me because I also like much more the quality of the materials and shape that was used in the Sonos over the Samsung.

Yeah it was my bad. Forgot to add that section to my script. I found the surround sound to be better with Sonos but the Atmos better on the Samsung. The Sonos ones are amazing speakers and make up for the single direction drivers. I think either way you go the spacial sound is great.

No! Currently, Sonos will not play any media encoded in DTS…

I haven’t tried the Elevate but the Jbl is awesome!! The rear speakers aren’t as loud as either of these bars but the sub is super powerful and really clear. I’m going to do a video comparing all the Dolby Atmos Soundbars I can get my hands on soon, so watch out for that.

JBL 9.1 is a waste

@@archwaytech hello, between jbl 9.1 subwoofer and samsung's subwoofer,wich one goes lower/deeper? Same for the jbl vs sonos

@@yvanokuba1649 why?

@@claudiugeorge5445 JBL will give you a lot of unnecessary bass . It's basically for music lovers. Samsung especially q950a, q900a, q800a, q950t will sort you out for both music, movies, and games. They have crystal clear sounds alongside immersive bass solid bass. JBL 9.1 seems to be floating around in my country. No one seems to be interested in it as much as they do for Samsung top soundbars.

Really?

Only the most basic dts format not the DTS HD or X

Exactly, SAMSUNG is much better value, and actualy you get more and better quality (soundwise for movies) SONOS beats Samsung only in Music

Idk if it’s to late but just got the 950a and it’s pretty intense especially for movies it feels like you are encapsulated in nothing but sound. I am still curious about the Sonos set up but the Samsung is only $1400 right now so it’s a no brainer. Both are top of the line products. So I don’t think you can go wrong. Of course one set could be a hair better than the other but then because it’s a hair doesn’t it really matter? I’m still tempted to return and exchange for a Sonos setup to experience it and make my comparison opinion. But, Samsung is 11.1.4 which technically give you more immersive sound compared to 5.1.2. One thing for sure is that I did save more money and in case the Sonos ‘were to be a hair better’ (more basey ) I am more than content with the immersive Samsung setup. Samsung for movies = boss Samsung for games also = boss lol.. my opinion is get the Samsung you will not regret and with the left over money buy some Starbucks

Do a google search

@@bondjames7007 okay thanks

Those videos are coming. 😊

Have you tried turning up the volume on your center channel for clearer dialogues?

@@SrananKing Yes centre to +6 and voice enhancement also turned on still muffled and very unpleasant to hear. If I increase the volume then when there is some action on the whole system will be crazy loud for that reason I have to constantly juggle between volumes

@@habiburrehamanshaik6146 Strange. I don't have this problem but I can imagine it being very unpleasant. Maybe your system has a underlying issue. I'd suggest swapping it out for a new one to see if the problem occurs. If it does, you know the model or even brand is not for you. Good luck!

@@SrananKing Sure thanks. I’m actually playing atmos content from Netflix, did u get atmos effects from Netflix? Should I change to a new DHMI cable and try? Do u think the included cable with the soundbar might be broken? Sorry Im just trying to make sure and give it all before I go shel all that extra cash on ARC or Sony HTA-7000. Thanks

@@habiburrehamanshaik6146 You can try to replace the HDMI cable with a high speed one. Make sure it's an eARC suported HDMI cable (HEAC or HEC). You can also reconnect HDMI cable, and then reset HDMI-eARC Mode to Auto. Try to play with the settings a bit. Also, with Netflix and Atmos it's important to upgrade your account to access Atmos content. I'm not an expert but I was able to get everything working correctly. Sonos Arc to me is a better sounding set than Q950a but I got a deal on it for about $800 which is why I chose it. I'm very pleased but there are better, more expensive sets out there.

I agree the Sonos is better, but pricey!!

Funny you should ask. The Bose just arrived today so will be getting onto the comparison this coming week. Thanks for your patience, we’ll get there 😊

@@archwaytech ya waiting. HAHAA THANKS

Thanks for your summary. In regards to the DTS support, yes it’s been disappointing that Sonos hasn’t supported this popular audio format but it is good to see that they will be adding this later in the year. It very much is an Atmos soundbar for people buying new TVs but not so much for those with older ones unless you buy the Aracana Fury HD and an Apple TV or the like. That inevitably bumps up the price of the setup by hundreds of dollars which is a big downside. I’m also keen to get my hands on the HT-A9 as they looks like a very flexible and great sounding system. Cheers.

@@archwaytech Thanks for your reply… To be fair to Sonos, I’m usually much better at doing my homework, so it came as a big surprise to me that Sonos did not support DTS… I also didn’t have an adequate understanding of ARC versus EARC, nor did I realize that Sonos only had one HDMI EARC input and that, that meant that all of my devices needed to go through the TV… (We have a relatively new LG OLED TV, ca. 2018, but obviously not new enough!) We were sad to send it all back, because we enjoyed the quality of the sound and found the dialogue to be crisp and clean and easier to understand than a lot of the other systems… It all started when one of our cats decided that my mid-level Sony Receiver needed to go…(but that’s another story!) With respect to the Sony HT-A7000… We were very impressed with how easy and seamless the entire set up was… As soon as each device was powered up, it was immediately recognized by the sound bar… Setting up the sound was seamless as well and much easier, (for me at least), then setting up the Sonos system… I found Sonos was not nearly as intuitive or easy to set up, and the app was finicky and not that easy to comprehend. The build quality of the Sony HT-A7000 was top notch! Unfortunately, we didn’t find the sound quality of the Sony HT-A7000 to be nearly as impressive… (I had really been hoping that we’d be done with shopping and testing…) Along with the subwoofer and rear speakers, it was most definitely a full sound, but spacially, it didn’t seem to have that ‘discreet channel’ feeling… There was a Voice enhancement selection, in order to make the dialogue easier to comprehend, which definitely improved things, but if the Dolby enhancement was employed, while it gave a much more expansive and surrounding soundstage, the voice enhancement was no longer available and the dialogue became muddied and disappeared, within the overall sound. I’m away from home, but the Sony A-9 is at home, waiting for me..,(along with the new subwoofer). I’m hoping, from the reviews and from some of the other comments on other forums, that the A9 will be the ticket… I’ll let you know!

@@archwaytech apple tv 4k uses dolby mat 2.0 so it wont work for atmos even with dolby digital plus. Without eARC or dolby digital plus atmos source you need the arcana

@@floshize We really liked Sonos, but there were some shortcomings , (for us), that may not apply to you…Having said that, there seems to be a workaround for people whose TVs only have an ARC rather than an EARC connection, (HDFury Arcana) and from some of the comments, DTS compatibility may be coming to the Sonos. With respect to sound, I still can’t comment…We’ve had the A9 for over a week now, but my job has kept me out of the country and unable to get it set up…I’m on my way home this afternoon, so I hope to get it going ASAP…I’ll let you know what I think…

@@floshize OK… I don’t want to rain on your parade, especially since you have already bought the Sonos… I’d like you to be happy with it, because we were as well. It took me a while to set everything up when I got home, (HT-A9 +Sub), because I had to put together four speaker stands to replace the 5.1 system that was in existence. We had a preliminary listen of the A9 and I have to say that we are very happy with it… Is it better than the Sonos? I think I have to say “Yes”… but not emphatically…Not by a lot. Obviously we don’t have both systems side-by-side to compare and I’m not an audiophile.,.It’s a little bit like trying on cologne… After you’ve sprayed on a couple of samples, you can’t tell the difference between one and the other anymore… Having said that, I would say that, had we been able to take advantage of Dolby Atmos, with an EARC connection from our TV, and had the Sonos been able to play DTS, we would never have switched from the Sonos. We are very happy with the A9 as well. I believe it’s much, much better than the HT-A7000, which we also had…. I will add to this, that even though there is no center channel, you really can’t tell that it’s not there … The audio/dialogue is very clear, but we have turned the voice enhancement on to make the dialogue just a little bit more clear… (Perhaps I’m going deaf and I’ve always liked to listen to clear dialogue)… Obviously, surround demonstration‘s are awesome, but that’s not the nuts and bolts of a watching/ listening day to day… Currently I’m watching the movie ‘Elysium’, and with voice enhancement turned on, in ‘Cinema’ mode, I’m finding the experience very enjoyable… There is localization of aircraft, overhead, etc. where appropriate, and the dialogue is crisp and clear and if one were to close ones eyes, one could imagine that there is a center channel in the middle… The sound is full and large and all encompassing!

Did you find it to be a big difference? I’m keen to get one myself as the 2018 Samsung in my lounge doesn’t have an eARC port.

@@archwaytech Big difference indeed, Ive bought my TV in 2015 it only has the ARC, with the ARCANA I get all the Dolby formats as well as LPCM.

That’s awesome! That’s for letting me know. I’m very tempted now 😂

Where can I get the HD Fury Arcana?

You can get it here: geni.us/o5LFK

Thanks! 😊 I’d totally go for the Arc in your situation… eARC only matters if you’re wanting Dolby Atmos or DTS X and since you mainly watching Dramas and other dialogue heavy shows you won’t be using Atmos. Yes you’re correct, when adding the Sub all of the lower frequencies are moved away from the ARC which allows it to focus better on the higher frequencies. Dialogue sounds great through this system. Hope that helps you 😊

If your TV doesn’t have an EARC connection, then the Sonos Arc is not for you…

Read the companies that Samsung (Family Tree) now owns Harman, & DTS X they have to be the leaders in Audio now….they have spent Billions buying up companies - they have bought JBL too - mega wealthy company & lots of money for Research

I should clarify…Archway Tech is correct, but there may come a time when you do wish to watch a movie that contains a Dolby Atmos track, at which point, (without upgrading your TV), you’ll be disappointed. Currently, DTS is not supported by the Arc.

I’m creating a video atm, comparing 5 Soundbars including the arc and 900 then straight after I’ll be making that video. Thanks for your patience. 😊

@@archwaytech thanks. I will wait

Q950A for me. Sonos ARC cost 1400-1500$ in my country. But around 800$ for Q950A.

I would go with Samsung in your case if value for money was the big thing. Sonos does sound better in my opinion but not triple as good.

In the US, they are about the same money. Q950A is often on sale for $1500, Sonos+Sub+Ones Sats are about $1800 (unless you can get 15% discount code) For the same money, I would get Sonos

Over kill but I choose the Sonos arc with SL one's without the sub because I live in a apartment I also have returned the th-a9 Sony witch people went Crazy over. To me the arc is amazing clear loud vocals the bass level just from a soundbar is amazing that's why I can do without a sub the arc is full sounding and realistic mids and highs it keeps making my jaw drop from time to time. Sonos app is so easy to control n setup the SL one's although it doesn't have upfiring tweeters and still full and immersive sounding. To me Sonos feels and sounds more solid compared to other soundbar options.

Yeah, its similar in New Zealand too. Samsung is half the price. I would say value for money the Samsung would be better. And don't get me wrong, its a great sounding system. Sonos just gives you some extra features over the Samsung but in our case it costs a lot more.

In my country, USA, samsung is $1,800 but on sale currently for $1,600. Damn guys buy the samsung if its $800.00. USA usually gets the best prices due to our superior consumer purchasing power so you are lucking out!

I’m making a video comparing 5 Soundbars including the 2 you mentioned and I’ve come to a similar conclusion 😊

Yes I did. Had to re-upload it as I said that the Samsung didn’t have a microphone but it does. Turns out my brain doesn’t fully work at 2am 😂 For Movies the Sonos gives a bigger bolder sound so I would go with that.

I think it’s because each DTS soundtrack has a License and I guess it’s obvious Sonos doesn’t want to splash the cash which leaves us Arc owners rather miffed because like you I have many older Blu Ray discs unfortunately.

Can you go into more detail how the Sony is better? Can I attach the Sony to the wall?

Yes the Sonos is worth more. Sonos allows you to configure the system how you’d like… for instance I’ve had some customers who already had in-ceiling speakers from their last system so instead of selling them a pair of Ones we used the Sonos amp in conjunction with the arc and sub which sounded awesome! As I touched on in the video, the Sonos system gives you more flexibility and other features which the Samsung doesn’t. If you’re going strictly on price then the Samsung wins but others may find they want more from their system which the Sonos provides.

@@archwaytech so what you are saying is most people wont choose the Sonos Arc setup because Samsung has a better all in one system? Sonos is good to add it with other ecosystems that arent brand related??? Funny...I never read or heard that.

​@@archwaytech The Sony TV is a Bravia KD55X9000XE. I have the Q950A connected via the ARC HDMI port I also have a UHD Blu-ray player connected through the TV. There aren't a lot of audio settings that can get in the way on the TV side but you make a good point and I will try connecting the Blu-ray player direct to the Q950A. I am not hearing much of a difference between direct streaming from the phone and streaming through the TV. With some tweaking of the settings I was able to improve the sound. Surrounds are working better now, and the left and right channels are performing better too, It no longer sounds as narrow in the front. It is time for me to try a few more movies. FYI, I have have come from a Sony STR DH550. This was paired with an old set of Pioneer S-STP500 surround speakers and a Pioneer S-EW2 sub.
