Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module vs Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc Ultra

Depending on the types of media you mainly consume, either the Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module or the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc Ultra may be a preferable choice, as they each have different strengths. The Sony has a wider stereo soundstage, though this depends on how far apart you place its speakers, and it has better connectivity so you can use it as an entertainment hub, thanks to its HDMI 2.1 In port for passthrough. On the other hand, the Sonos gets louder and doesn't compress as much. It also has a discrete center channel, ensuring dialogue sounds clearer and more accurate out of the box. Both soundbars are fairly evenly matched unless you want the Sony's greater connectivity and slightly better format support, though it's easier to add other speakers by the manufacturer to the Sonos.
