I compare the VIZIO Elevate and the Sonos Arc soundbar system and well there is a scoreboard. Both systems are American made and round-ish but quite different in philosophies. I talk about audio codecs, 3D audio, voice assistants, sound quality, build quality, usability and a lot more. Tons of details shared. Hope you enjoy.
Corrections / Additions:
- Elevate supports Dolby Vision (I recorded some how managed to leave it out of the video ... sowwwy)
