Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc vs Samsung HW-Q990H

The Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc and the Samsung HW-Q990H are both premium soundbar setups. While there are trade-offs between them, the biggest factor will likely be which product ecosystem you'd rather buy into. The Sonos is a 7.1.4 configuration that uses Era 300 speakers as satellites. It offers a wider stereo soundstage than the Samsung with a similarly balanced default sound. It integrates with other Sonos products, like the Sonos Ace headphones. That said, on performance and feature set alone, the Samsung is the better choice. It performs better across most of our sound tests, has two full HDMI In ports with passthrough capabilities, and comes with more sound enhancement possibilities. It supports the DTS:X format too, which is used with Blu-rays and some streaming services.
