My Sonos Arc Ultra faced an unexpected challenger - and the soundbar met its match
"If you have $1,000 to spend on a soundbar, there are compelling options to choose from. Since its late 2024 release, the has been at the top of the heap in this price range, but there are new competitors that give Sonos a run for its money. The , for example, offers a unique design, cool features, and comes at the exact same price as the Sonos Arc Ultra."
"The Sonos Arc Ultra is a sleek and stylish soundbar, but if you want a design that's cool, then the Marshall Heston 120 is the way to go. A great design is actually kind of important in a soundbar - it's something that's going to live out in the open, in your living room, for all to see. Sure, I care more about audio quality than design, but I want something that's going to make a statement without being over the top."
The Sonos Arc Ultra led the $1,000 soundbar category after its late 2024 release, but new rivals have emerged offering similar value. The Marshall Heston 120 matches the Arc Ultra's price while presenting a distinctive Marshall aesthetic with faux leather sides, textile mesh covers, a visible logo, and top-mounted knobs. Sonos emphasizes sleek, modern design and tight digital-ecosystem integration, while Marshall focuses on wired, analog options for music enthusiasts. Both soundbars produce exceptional audio performance. The Heston 120 suits buyers seeking a statement-making design that complements living-room furniture.
