To be honest i wasn't expecting much but was blown away with this little speaker. The Dialogue is so clear and transparent with toneallity like they are sat in the very same room.My room is bigger than the average but is very room filling for its modest size.

The Sonos sound beam is amazing, sound quality is so good and so clear, linked with my other Sonos speakers it sounds like you're sitting in a cinema!

I recently purchased an 82" Samsung Q8 TV and researched the heck out of soundbars to use with it. For reference I have Martin Logan speakers with Parasound and Adcom electronics because I used to be heavily into audio, but I really wanted to simplify my life and clean up the clutter in the family...

I just had a birthday recently and my girlfriend bought me the Bose sound bar (I forget which model but they were around $250 or so) as a gift. I read so many bad reviews about the Bose that I wanted to see what my other options would be.

looks great; Sounds amazing for its size; plenty of Bass response for normal sized living rooms; expandable using other Sonos speakers to create 5:1 system

On paper, the Sonos Beam looks like a modern home entertainment system miracle. Part soundbar, part smart speaker, and all Sonos, the Beam promises to control your TV with Amazon’s Alexa, provide richly cinematic sound for your movies and TV shows, and stream music from just about any source you can imagine, all for $400. The Beam can also connect to a Sonos Sub and any two of the company’s many other speakers, such as the Sonos One and the Sonos Amp, for a hardcore 5.1 surround sound system. Versatile? Absolutely. But is the Beam as “Sonos simple” as the company’s prior products? We had to find out. Hidden behind the Beam’s seamlessly wrapped cloth grill is a center-mounted tweeter, four full-range woofers, and three passive bass radiators, all of which have been custom-designed by Sonos specifically for the Beam. Sitting atop its smooth surface are the same touch-sensitive controls from the Sonos One, plus the microphone array needed to pick up voice commands. Hilmar Lehnert, a senio...

Great sound; Elegant, simple design; Reasonably priced; TV voice control with Alexa on-board; AirPlay 2, Google Assistant coming;

Still no HDMI pass-through; No Dolby Atmos support;

Awesome!!!! I paired the Beam with a pair Sonos Ones... for incredible surround sound, in a 15X30 Family Room... I plan to add the sub woofer later... possibly another Set of Ones... for Up Front Surround... these replace an Onkyo 135W / Channel with Polk Audio speakers...

User Friendly; Easy Set-Up; Alexa Controlled

I have an older TV and does not have the ARC -HDMI output; thus I have to use the fiber optic out out; thus I can't use the Alexa Voice Feature

Agree that the sound is good, but not super. In my opinion, it does not give the same stereo feeling as a longer soundbar. Gets very good with a sonos sub. Nice that this connected to the TV makes it possible to get the TV sound on any sonos speaker in the house, eg in the kitchen.

I have several sonos products . This has been the hardest to install , firstly I tired with a Samsung tv and had major problems, I couldn't get it connected . I got a newer tv with a different connection , a Philips but again have had several connection problems, which have been higetl frustrated .

Although some cheaper options sound better, Sonos Beam is a feature-packed, voice-operated sound bar with unmatched flexibility.

The Sonos Beam is the least-expensive sound bar available with a choice of two voice assistants, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant; Its expansive sound can fill a small room; HDMI connectivity includes the ability to power up and control TV input switching via voice command.

The lack of a subwoofer means the Beam lacks deep bass compared to sub-equipped competitors, even some that cost less; You lose connectivity options on TVs that lack ARC; You can't switch between Google and Alexa on the fly and there's some lag with Google Assistant voice commands.
