If you’ve been tempted to get into Sonos, but weren’t sure where to start, the Beam is for you. Not only is it a relatively affordable, solid speaker in its own right, it is a capable soundbar and Alexa assistant rolled into one.
Excellent overall sound; HDMI port for TV control; AirPlay 2 support; Reasonably priced
Sound is less impactful in bigger rooms; No support for other smart assistants (yet); No auxiliary input
