Our Verdict

Sonos Arc

Samsung HW-Q60C/Q6CC

Compared to the standalone Sonos Arc, the Samsung HW-Q60C/Q6CC has a dedicated subwoofer. As a result, the Samsung can reproduce more low-bass in the mix. You can also add a sub to the Sonos, and our results for the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc and the Sonos Arc with Sub + One SL Speakers give you an idea of how it will perform in comparison. Still, the standalone option is a good alternative for those without much room in their setup, and its stereo soundstage is better than the Samsung. Plus, it doesn't have to downmix surround and height content like the Samsung.
