If you’re anything like me, after a long day of brain power on 10, it’s nice to let something else do the thinking. Since a personal butler is out of the budget, I decided to add smart devices throughout my home to create my own smart house experience—making life a little (or a lot) easier where it counts.

This was one of the biggest tech splurges I’ve made for my home in recent memory and I don’t regret it one bit. It also helps that it’s Yahoo-approved with our tech writer voting it the best smart soundbar you can buy.
Here’s the thing: you don’t have to invest in an expensive soundbar to get premium sound quality out of your TV, but if you want additional features like Dolby Atmos technology for that movie theater feel, surround sound, a seamless app and additional Bluetooth speaker functionality, this one is worth the investment.
I was first sold on its stunning design (it just adds an understated elegance to your living room), but when I fully set it up in all of 10 minutes and heard that roaring theater-like sound, I was taken aback. It’s also Google Voice Assistant and Alexa-enabled, so you’ll get all of those smart speaker features that make having a smart home so worth it.
“The Sonos Arc is a high-end product, one that looks gorgeous and outperforms all other standalone soundbars,” Broida said in his review, and I couldn’t agree more.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
