I think part of the problem is the evolution of HDMI and its capabilities over the years.... and compatibility among the various HDMI devices on the market for the various HDMI revisions.

I am hardly an expert on this topic but I did some reading on HDMI and read some soundbar reviews prior to buying the Sonos ARC. If soundbars are the "easy button" for surround sound, the ARC is the "easy button" of soundbars.

The Sonos ARC lacks multiple inputs and sophisticated EQ adjustment but setup and basic functionality appear to be rock solid reliable compared to some others I read about. Speech and bass are clear and the overall sound is excellent.

What can go wrong? I've read that some leading edge feature rich soundbars would randomly disconnect with no audio, or randomly lose their settings for EQ or might revert to 2-ch vs surround modes for no particular reason. The only way to recover was to disconnect from HDMI and do a factory reset. Repeat when it glitches.

I wanted simple and reliable with excellent sound (for a soundbar anyway) and I'm happy with the Sonos.
