Arc reviews on Google?

I suppose they could be press, who received them early for review purposes, or beta testers breaking their NDA? Do you have any links?

Hi there, here they are

It says they come from the Sonos website on the same date, no idea what they are as they don’t appear on the arc page… anyone from the Sonos team can comment?

Odd. When I click on your link, I get a ‘the product could not be found.’ And no reviews. 

@Airgetlam oh ok that’s very strange...the way I find it is by typing “Sonos arc” on google then if you are on mobile go on “view more” and you should be able to see the reviews. Also I am in Australia, that might have an impact...

Odd. 
 

I did a search for Sonos Arc review, and got quite a few hits, including Sonos ones and this one:

among others…

I would assume the posts you’re seeing are from folks who have received pre-release versions, such as press folks, and perhaps beta testers. Who are likely breaking NDA by posting those reviews, if that is the case. 

@Airgetlam I don’t think this is the case, reviews come from the Sonos website so they might have them ready to get published on realised date, they don’t appear on their website but somehow google reviews can see them. This could also mean they are fake reviews ordered by Sonos, they don’t look fake but anything is possible. Or some people had early access to the Arc and Sonos asked them to write a review, I really hope it’s the later.

They are obviously fake reviews for marketing so when the product is launched people will see hundreds of 5 star reviews already posted so they can see how popular it is….it’s all fake. One review even says they’ve been using it for months lol.

if these were real reviews by press then surely we’ll see videos on YouTube by now.

Cant believe Sonos putting fake reviews on.

I didn’t read them all but yeah that’s what I thought right away, I guess I didn’t want to believe it but it doesn’t make sense at all.

Hi @Ryan A, would you care to comment?

You do realize that people doing beta testing have had the Arc for months now, right?  Quite presumptuous of you to definitely state that these are fake reviews creeated by Sonos when you have absolutely no proof that is the case. 

You may be right but why isn’t there even a single video on YouTube or any website? Many companies use fake reviews to push their products. You can see those even on amazon and IMDb.
