If you’re looking to upgrade your TV sound, there’s no denying the simple appeal of a soundbar. This all-in-one solution will instantly sound better than your TV’s speakers, and it doesn’t require much space. Most soundbars can fit snugly beneath your TV. And despite their front-facing position, many premium soundbars are engineered to fire sound in all directions around the room, giving you an affordable alternative to a multi-speaker setup.

But speakers have their place, too. Though soundbars like 

 are more than capable of incredible surround sound, a multi-speaker system benefits from the simple fact that there are more speakers placed around the listener. This lends itself to a more powerful and tailored solution, especially for larger rooms or 

Before we wade further into the speakers vs. soundbars debate, we’ll let you in on a little secret: You don’t have to choose. In fact, you’ll get the best home-theater experience by combining both. But you have to start somewhere, so let’s explore which of the two sound solutions is the best fit for your current needs.

Speakers vs. soundbars: General differences

 may look like a single elongated speaker, it actually houses multiple speaker drivers that work together to create an immersive sound experience.

In some cases, the sheer amount of speakers that can fit inside a single soundbar is truly impressive. Arc Ultra, for example, features 

 to cover every frequency on the sonic spectrum.

This differs from a typical surround-sound speaker system, which includes multiple speaker components placed at different spots around the room. Some of these speakers may be more specialized than others. A premium smart speaker like 

 can faithfully reproduce low to high frequencies, while a standalone subwoofer like 

 is specifically engineered to generate deep, dynamic low end.

So, when we’re comparing soundbars with speakers, we’re really comparing a single do-it-all device with a multi-component system. Thinking of things this way, the relative advantages of each become more clear:

 is a better choice if you want a single device that can combine the benefits of multiple speakers. If you’re interested in an easy upgrade to your home theater or TV sound, it’s likely the best way to go.

 are a more flexible solution, as you can mix and match different speakers to create a system that’s precisely tailored to your space and listening needs. And if you listen to music throughout your home, a multiroom speaker setup makes more sense than a single soundbar.

Now, let’s compare the two options based on factors like size, ease of installation, and sound quality.

Soundbars typically require less space than a multi-speaker setup. Most soundbars have a low-profile design that fits squarely beneath your TV. If you don’t like the look of speakers, you may prefer the relatively unobtrusive design of a soundbar.

(Of course, this isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker when it comes to speakers. Though they require more time, energy, and forethought to install, in-ceiling or in-wall 

 are another discreet option to consider.)

Speakers are generally placed throughout the listening space, with different speakers designated as the front, rear, surround, or height channels. This is in contrast to a premium soundbar like Arc Ultra, which actually does the work of nine ear-level speakers, one subwoofer, and four overhead speakers.

So, if you’re looking for the most efficient solution, a great soundbar will almost always win out. This is especially true if you’re mostly interested in watching TV and only have the budget for front-channel speakers.

But if you’re craving the most powerful and precise 

, you may consider investing in a multi-speaker setup.

Between soundbars and speakers, the ease of installation comes down to simple math. It’s usually faster to set up a single soundbar than it is to set up multiple speakers — especially if you need to think about where to position the speakers around the room.

With that said, setting up a multi-speaker system doesn’t have to be labor-intensive. Many of the 

 from Sonos can be fully installed within minutes of opening the box, and detailed product guides can help with placement decisions.

When comparing a single soundbar to a single speaker, the soundbar will typically have a more impressive all-around output.

Remember, soundbars are really multiple speakers in one. The acoustic architecture of Arc Ultra contains seven precisely angled tweeters to create crisp high frequencies and clear dialogue, six moodwoofers to handle mid-range frequencies, and a dual-membrane woofer to deliver exceptional bass. Such a wide range of specialized drivers would be difficult to find in any single speaker enclosure.

However, if you looked into the Era 300 speaker you’d find four tweeters ensuring faithful playback of high and mid-range frequencies and two woofers that maximize low-end output and are angled left and right to support stereo playback. So, both the Arc Ultra and speakers like Era 300 provide great quality and can support Dolby Atmos spatial audio. However, your decision depends on the circumstances you want to use them in.

Speakers vs. soundbars for home theater setups

A soundbar — especially one outfitted with 

 — is the best standalone option for a home theater setup.

Not only does a Dolby Atmos-equipped soundbar like Arc Ultra provide the all-important front channels; it also creates a massive soundstage with side-firing drivers and adds the dimension of height with upward-firing drivers.

Interested in an even more immersive home theater experience? Start with the soundbar to cover your front channels, then add two additional speakers to cover your rear left and rear right channels, and a subwoofer to handle the low end. (Sonos does not currently support speakers as front channels for TVs.)

So, you see, we don’t really need to put soundbars against speakers in a winner-takes-all battle. The best solution from a sound perspective is to combine them both to create the ultimate 

Because they’re such a great solution for a home theater setup, we don’t often think of soundbars as an option for listening to music. But a premium soundbar can certainly do justice to your favorite songs, given its spatial audio capabilities and the diverse range of frequencies it can reproduce.

With that said, if your only desire is to create a

 at home and you don’t have much use for a home theater setup, you’ll get better mileage by combining separate speaker components rather than relying solely on a soundbar. Take the Era 300 into consideration, which features six optimally positioned drivers all around the front, sides, and top to support Dolby Atmos Music—immersing you in every dimension of the song.

Even if you start with speakers, you can always add a soundbar to cover your front channels if you eventually decide to convert to a more cinematic setup.

A soundbar stands out as the best and simplest solution to upgrade your TV’s sound. The best soundbars combine remarkable ease of use with performance that’s truly cinema-quality, thanks to Dolby Atmos spatial audio technology.

But the choice between a soundbar and speakers isn’t as black-and-white it may appear. It’s easy to combine both options in a Sonos sound system that delivers a premium audio and home theater experience in one. And thanks to the 

, you can control every component of your system and stream your favorite music from the palm of your hand.

Speakers vs. Soundbars: Which Is Best for You?

At a high level, WiFi and Bluetooth speakers do the same thing — they connect to a remote device to play audio without a wired connection. But these two wireless technologies work in fundamentally different ways, and these differences can affect everything from their range and audio quality to their compatibility with other devices.

If you came here looking for a definitive “winner” between WiFi and Bluetooth technologies, you’ll find the reality is more nuanced. Each technology has its advantages (which explains why many Sonos products feature both capabilities). WiFi excels at streaming lossless audio thanks to its greater bandwidth, while Bluetooth is generally more portable.

In this guide, we’ll pinpoint what separates WiFi and Bluetooth so you can find the technology that best fits your audio experience.

How do WiFi and Bluetooth connect to wireless devices?

Both WiFi and Bluetooth speakers use radio waves to transmit audio to wireless devices. They just do it in distinct ways.

WiFi speakers connect to a wireless internet network, like the one you have in your home. One advantage of a wireless network is that it can handle a large amount of data transmitted over multiple devices at once. This allows for high-quality, 

 to your speaker even if your phone, laptop, and other devices are simultaneously using the same network.

Bluetooth speakers, on the other hand, create a direct wireless connection between the speaker and the music-playing device. Think of it as a one-to-one, short-range radio signal — no internet network or router required. Pairing your Bluetooth-enabled device with a Bluetooth speaker can usually be done with one click. This means Bluetooth is generally quicker to set up than WiFi, though this approach also limits its range and audio quality.

So, it’s clear that WiFi and Bluetooth aren’t the same. But which is better? It depends on the specific dimensions and qualities that matter most to you.

Bluetooth doesn’t require an internet connection or wireless network, so it’s generally the more portable technology. If you wear your 

 headphones on your commute or take your 

 to a cookout in the park, you’re almost certainly using Bluetooth technology to connect your devices.

Another plus in terms of portability is that Bluetooth speakers tend to have a longer battery life than WiFi speakers. This owes to the fact that a Bluetooth connection uses less power to transmit data, prioritizing energy efficiency over other areas where WiFi wins out, like speed and bandwidth.

While they can be just as compact and lightweight as Bluetooth speakers, WiFi speakers require a wireless network connection to function. This limits where you can use them. Before you bring a WiFi speaker over to a friend’s house or outside gathering, make sure there’s a reliable internet connection you can use to connect your devices.

 WiFi. So, it’s less about choosing the right speaker and more about choosing the right type of connection for each situation.

WiFi's broader bandwidth allows it to transmit more audio data than Bluetooth, making it capable of streaming lossless 

 exactly as they were recorded. If you prefer to stream high-quality audio via music services like Apple Music or Amazon Music HD, a solid WiFi connection should be able to transmit lossless audio data that retains every aspect of the original recording.

Bluetooth technology has less bandwidth to work with. This means that audio data is often compressed so that it can travel over a Bluetooth connection more efficiently. The compression process can strip away some subtle details that may affect the quality of your listening experience.

With that said, recent advancements in Bluetooth technology have led to some speakers and earbuds that actually do support lossless audio. Sonos Ace is among a small group of headphones that, with some specific device configurations, can achieve lossless audio with a Bluetooth connection. For other speakers, like 

, Bluetooth can still deliver clear and detailed sound on the go, though you’ll want to connect to WiFi for the best audio experience.

WiFi usually offers a more stable connection, as long as you’re within a comfortable range of the network router. As you may know from your experience with your home WiFi network, you can typically achieve a good connection even through walls and over relatively long distances, such as from one end of your house to the other.

But the stability of your WiFi connection may suffer from local internet outages, issues with your router, or too many devices sucking up bandwidth at once. So, even though a WiFi signal is impressively durable and consistent within the network range, the stability of your connection may depend on environmental factors out of your control.

Bluetooth signals may have more trouble passing through certain types of physical barriers. Dense materials, like concrete, and materials with high electrical conductivity, like glass and metal, pose particular problems for connection stability. If you’re listening to music on your phone via a Bluetooth connection, incoming phone calls and notifications can also interrupt your streaming connection.

Bluetooth devices operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band — the same band used by other wireless devices including cordless phones and microwaves. When the 2.4 GHz band gets crowded, your Bluetooth speaker may experience some limitations or interruptions. WiFi speakers also operate in the 2.4 GHz band, but they can often hop over to the less crowded 5 GHz band at times of high traffic, so interruptions are less common.

Of course, recent evolutions in Bluetooth technology have led to better channel classification, so frequency impedances are essentially becoming a non-issue in newer products like Sonos Ace.

Stability and range issues are closely related, though range specifically refers to drop offs caused by the physical distance of a wireless connection.

WiFi speakers generally have a wider range than Bluetooth speakers. A typical WiFi network covers a range of 100 to 200 feet (30 to 60 meters), though that can extend even further in outdoor conditions without walls or other barriers to interfere. So if you’re planning on installing 

 in your backyard, you should still be able to connect those speakers to your home WiFi network.

Traditional Bluetooth technology was designed for relatively short-range connections, and many Bluetooth speakers top out at a range of around 30 feet (10 meters). This doesn’t pose a serious issue for most of the ways you’d use a Bluetooth speaker. If you’re bringing a portable speaker to the park or strapping one on your hip for a hike, it’s likely to stay on or near your body and thus well within 

So, WiFi generally wins in measures of range, though Bluetooth technology is catching up fast. Devices equipped with Bluetooth version 5.0 and higher can maintain a connection over an impressive range of up to 800 feet under ideal conditions.

, you’re often dealing with the issue of connecting multiple different components — a soundbar, wireless speakers, and maybe a 

 like this, WiFi is the best and only option.

Remember: Bluetooth technology is designed to facilitate a 

 connection between devices. When it comes to connecting a multi-component system, that is its downfall. Which isn’t to say that Bluetooth speakers can’t be part of a home sound system. Because many Sonos wireless speakers allow for both WiFi and Bluetooth connections, you can connect them to your system over WiFi and still take them on the go with a Bluetooth connection.

There’s no better or worse option between WiFi and Bluetooth — each has its time and place. When you’re listening to music at home, a WiFi speaker offers the best combination of audio quality and connection stability, not to mention the option to stream over multiple devices at once. And when you’re on the go, nothing really beats the simplicity and portability of a Bluetooth speaker.

WiFi vs. Bluetooth Speakers: Key Differences Explained

If you own a restaurant or retail store, you know that a great customer experience isn’t limited to the food on the plate or the clothes on the shelf. Atmosphere matters, and the right soundtrack can keep your customers coming back for more. But the daily realities of running a business can make it challenging to focus on choosing the right sound system for your space.

We believe business owners should be able to have it all: great sound, robust control, and a stress-free setup that doesn’t distract you from serving customers. That’s why we’re introducing Era 100 Pro, a speaker specifically designed for professional installation in commercial spaces. Era 100 Pro reimagines the iconic Sonos speaker with features such as Power over Ethernet (optimized for PoE+), a pro-grade mount, and the ability to create custom audio zones in your space.

Of course, you’ll also need to pre-set music schedules, volume levels, and playlists that feature only commercially licensed content during business hours. That’s where Sonos Pro comes in. A 

 gives you more control of your sound system with remote monitoring and management, with the conveniences of ad-free, commercially licensed music that perfectly fits the mood.

Let’s break down the hardware and software, plus explore how they work together to create a unique combination of content, control, and pro-grade audio for your business.

Era 100 Pro brings the premium sound, looks, and experience you’ve come to expect from Sonos, with added features designed specifically with commercial spaces in mind.

Even if you’re obsessive about creating the perfect experience in your commercial space, you still have to deal with time and budget restraints. Getting a sound system installed quickly and efficiently lets you get back to what matters: running your business.

Era 100 Pro doesn’t only sound great; it’s also simple for your integrator to install. Era 100 Pro utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) which combines power and data over a single network cable. Since PoE is low voltage, it means you most likely won’t need to hire a certified electrician for installation, reducing the cost and time it takes to get up and running.

Because PoE is a wired-first connection, you don’t need to rely on WiFi to stream content. This enhances your network’s reliability and performance — a crucial consideration during restaurant rush hour or peak shopping times. Whereas pure wireless connectivity is a great standalone solution in the home, commercial spaces have unique needs that benefit from a wired-first networking approach. Additionally, many other commercial AV and IT products utilize PoE like wireless access points, security cameras, POS systems, and more. This means you can integrate a lot of the necessary technology for your business with PoE. If you have some hard to reach places, Era 100 Pro also provides a secondary wireless connection for additional flexibility.

Different commercial layouts demand different approaches to speaker installation, but Era 100 Pro can handle (and blend with) an impressive range of restaurant, retail, and health & wellness spaces.

The speaker’s sleek design fits nicely into a variety of spaces. Plus, you can mount it to virtually any surface with the 

 (sold separately). The Surface Mount provides 360 degree rotation as well as 30 degrees of pan and tilt, ensuring you can place Era 100 Pro exactly where and how you want it. The mount’s base plate can accommodate hidden or exposed cabling, whether your walls are drywall, stone, or wood. Plus, Era 100 Pro has an optional eye bolt for a secondary attachment, should building codes require it.

Zones functionality for easier system control

For those looking to tailor the sound of specific rooms, Era 100 Pro allows you to create dedicated zones for different areas in your commercial space. This makes controlling multiple speakers in large spaces easier than ever before.

You can combine multiple speakers together in a zone and craft a custom sound experience that fits a specific purpose. The possibilities are endless, whether you’re curating a space with different “theme” areas or simply want to tweak the atmosphere across different parts of your sales floor.

If you’ve heard of surround sound before, you may be thinking of speakers positioned on all sides — front, back, left, and right. Such a setup does offer an immersive listening experience, but fails to account for another important dimension: height. In this guide, we’ll introduce you to height channels, which add verticality to the sound experience and thus offer a home theater experience that resembles a real-life environment.

 works by surrounding the listener with various different points of audio. These points are referred to as 

. The number of speaker channels helps to determine how “immersive” a sound system feels to the listener. Generally speaking, the more speaker channels, the more immersive the system.

Where the speakers are placed matters, too, though this is standardized in the most common surround sound configurations. A typical 

 allows for five ear-level speaker channels and one subwoofer. These are placed in the following configuration:

 front channels (left, center, and right)

Another common configuration is the 7.1 setup, which adds two additional ear-level channels to fill out any potential gaps in the sound experience.

It’s worth noting that adding more channels doesn’t necessarily require adding more speakers to your configuration. Some 

 can deliver multiple channels at once. A Sonos soundbar covers the three front channels (left, right, and center) all by itself.

A truly immersive sound experience depends on more than just ear-level channels, though. You can also add additional channels above ear level. These so-called 

 can bring an entirely new dimension to a surround sound setup.

Put simply, a height channel is a point of audio positioned above the listener. This audio may come directly from an 

), though height channels don’t necessarily require speakers positioned overhead.

 design have led to new possibilities for adding height channels to a surround sound system. Object-based sound technology, such as 

, assigns different sounds to specific locations in a room. Speaker drivers positioned at the ear level can then fire certain sounds upwards, so that they bounce off the ceiling and hit the listener’s ear from above. The result is a truly three-dimensional soundscape, with sounds projected from all sides as well as from various different heights.

To account for this extra dimension of height, many speaker configurations now include a third number. For example, a 7.1.4 configuration includes the following:

White Sub next to a sofa with a white Beam on a console in the background

If you think a 7.1.4 setup requires investing in an abundance of speakers, we have good news. You can achieve this exact configuration with as little as three speakers and a subwoofer.

In order to do this, though, you’ll have to choose a combination of a soundbar and speakers that supports the spatial audio capabilities of Dolby Atmos. Of course, you can also add in-ceiling speakers if you prefer a more architectural setup. Let’s take a closer look at these options.

 is the most obvious way to add height channels to your home theater setup. It may make sense if you favor a custom, discreet solution that blends with your home’s design. Just note that this option may require a 

, and it’s not as flexible if you want to change the positioning of your sound system later down the line.

For most people, using Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers is a much easier path toward truly immersive sound. For example, you can achieve a 7.1.4 

 with the following Sonos configurations:

1x Beam (Gen 2) + 2x Era 100 + 1x Sub or Sub Mini

For a next-level immersive sound that rivals — if not beats — watching in the theater, Arc Ultra renders a 9.1.4 surround sound experience from the soundbar alone. Pair it with two Era 300 speakers and Sub 4 for a listening experience you’ll have to hear to believe.

Several of these configurations are sold in 

, so you don’t need to buy them separately.

, you’ll need to keep an eye out for content that’s specifically mixed in the Dolby Atmos format. Otherwise, your system will still sound good but may lack some distinction between height- and ear-level channels.

Film and TV streaming services continue to expand their Dolby Atmos-supported libraries, and you should find a growing library of options on Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime Video. Some music streaming services, like Apple Music and Amazon Music, also stream a selection of songs in spatial audio.

With the development of spatial audio technologies like Dolby Atmos, we’ve arrived at a new era of surround sound — an era where we’re opening new dimensions in the home audio experience. Height channels are the key development in this era, and you don’t need overhead speakers to add them to your home setup.

What Are Height Channels for Speakers and Home Theater?

When we created Sonos Arc, our goal was to push beyond the limits of what a soundbar could deliver. The Arc name has since become synonymous with an immersive home theater experience that renders every sound — from whip-fast dialogue to pulse-pounding explosions — with dramatic clarity and depth. But innovation never pauses at Sonos, and we’re excited to introduce the next chapter in cinematic sound. Meet Arc Ultra.

Arc Ultra is a complete reinvention of our best selling soundbar, with an all-new acoustic architecture that achieves immersive sound never before possible from a soundbar this sleek. Let’s explore the design and technological advancements that make Arc Ultra the new standard for home theater sound.

 extend even further than those of its predecessor, thanks to a total of 14 precisely-engineered speakers that span the full range of audio frequencies, from crisp highs to booming lows.

But these speakers don’t work all on their own. They’re nested within an entirely new acoustic architecture that makes Arc Ultra unlike any soundbar you’ve heard before. Let’s break it down.

 handle the full spectrum of higher-pitched sounds. Newly designed wave guides direct these high frequencies toward both sides of the room as well as upward to fill even more space in the room with sound. Six midwoofers contribute to a rich tapestry of mid-range and vocal frequencies, ensuring that dialogue cuts through the mix with crystal clarity, even at high volume levels.

Rounding out the array is a newly designed Sound Motion woofer, which marks a revolutionary leap forward for home theater sound. The use of Sound Motion technology in Arc Ultra is the key to unlocking the soundbar’s unique acoustic architecture, which delivers a bigger and more balanced sound experience in a slimmer design. The difference is especially prominent in Arc Ultra’s bass output, which far surpasses the previous generation while reducing the height and depth of the soundbar. This sleeker, smaller footprint is made possible by an innovative flat design featuring four distributed lightweight motors and voice coils with force-canceling dual cones in a single enclosure.

Here’s where you might stop to wonder about the furniture-rattling implications of a soundbar capable of such powerful bass response. But rest assured: the Sound Motion woofer unleashes its low frequencies with virtually no mechanical vibration, which keeps distortion to a minimum while contributing to a truly cinematic home theater experience.

We’ve completely updated the acoustic architecture while staying true to the beloved sleek design of Arc. In fact, Arc Ultra features an even sleeker footprint compared to its predecessor. All of the above speakers are precisely tuned to fit inside an slimmer enclosure that features an extended wraparound grille and a distinctive racetrack design that allows for sound to be fired across the room at all angles.

Every aspect of Arc Ultra is designed not just with looks, but also with sound in mind. Because the new enclosure fits more speakers — and positions these speakers in such a way that they accurately beam sound around the entire room — it renders a more complete 

 than has ever been available in a soundbar.

 and its ability to create an immersive, multidimensional soundstage. But it also owes to the unique design of Arc Ultra, which can render a 9.1.4 Dolby Atmos experience (nine ear-level channels, one subwoofer, and four height channels) without any additional speakers — a huge improvement from Arc’s already-impressive 5.0.2 experience. Add Arc Ultra to a setup that also features a pair of Sonos 

, and you have the ultimate in Dolby Atmos surround sound.

Finally, a note on size. Because space is at a premium in many home theater setups, we’ve also reduced the soundbar’s depth and height. A shallower depth makes for a more elegant and inconspicuous on-wall presence, which is more in line with newer television models. And a shorter height accounts for the ever-shrinking footprint of modern TV bezels, ensuring that a soundbar placed at the bottom of your screen doesn’t obstruct your view of the action.

The software and processing power on Arc Ultra are just as impressive as the hardware components. Additional features designed to improve your listening experience include:

. It’s not just the speakers that matter — it’s the space, too. Arc Ultra’s built-in software can measure how sound reflects off the objects and surfaces in your room, then tunes the soundbar to accommodate the space. In previous iterations, this feature was called Trueplay. Arc Ultra marks the debut of a faster, easier version of home theater Trueplay called 

, which will now be available not only to iOS users, but to Android users as well.
