I pitted the Sonos Arc Ultra against the Marshall Heston 120 - here's what makes them both great, and why you might prefer one over the other.

It leans on Marshall's signature aesthetic, with a great-looking faux leather on its sides, and a textile mesh covering on the front and top. Christian de Looper/ZDNET Both soundbars offer excellent audio and can deliver deep and powerful bass with solid response in the high end. But Sonos has more experience with that kind of smart audio technology, and it shows in the Arc Ultra, which, on its own, can get relatively immersive when playing content that supports Dolby Atmos and surround sound.
