The Sonos Beam offers the promise of multiple voice assistants, with Amazon Alexa now and Google Assistant in the future. Its expansive sound can fill a small room. HDMI connectivity includes the ability to power up and control TV input switching via voic
The lack of a subwoofer means the Beam lacks deep bass compared to sub-equipped competitors. You lose some connectivity options on TVs that lack ARC. Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay 2 haven't been added yet
Although some cheaper options sound better, Sonos Beam is a feature-packed, voice-operated sound bar with unmatched flexibility...
For the size and price, is a great-sounding soundbar, Easy setup, Can be expanded to support Sonos multi-room and/or 5.1 surround sound, And there's AirPlay 2, AND bloody Alexa's onboard too
Sonos doesn't do Dolby Atmos, Alexa still has numerous ‘quirks', You will spin rapidly down the expensiveness rabbit hole if you want to move up to the full 5.1/multi-room Sonos works
I have been blown away by the Sonos Beam, really. Due to a quirk of timing, I've recently been using the likes of KEF's LS50 Wireless and Naim's Uniti Atom at my place as well and the Beam has been by no means disgraced by the comparison. Of course, it do...
Abstract: Many of the existing $500 smart speaker releases of late seem to be solutions in search of problems. Apple's HomePod is a circular single speaker that claims to be able to generate stereo sound. The Google Home Max is a heavy and oversized boombox for the...

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
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. For serious movie buffs...

Flott design, AirPlay 2, Solid app, Et bredt og mektig lydbilde, Like god til musikk som film, TV og spilling
Ønsker fyldigere bass, Litt knot med lyd når man velger ulike kilder, Få tilkoblingsmuligheter
Sonos Beam kommer i en liten og lekker innpakning, men ikke la deg lure av størrelsen. Sett bort fra ønsket om litt fyldigere og heftigere bass, er lydplanken ulv i fåreklær. Den takler alt du kaster mot den så lenge du ikke spiller altfor høyt, og da sna...

Abstract: S onos har forladt high-end-markedet for en stund og snittet Sonos Beam; en fiks lille soundbar til dem, der både vil have god lyd fra tv'et og lytte til musik fra samme højttaler. Prisen er lavere end vi kender fra Sonos, der satser på at lokke kunder in...

compact and attractive, great, roomfilling sound whether TV or music, easy set up, Alexa, easy to add to with more speakers
relatively expensive, no roomshaking bass, takes up a port on your TV, no HDMI passthrough, no support for Dolby Atmos
Despite being £300 cheaper than Sonos's other TV audio solutions, the Beam is expensive for just a soundbar. The thing is, it isn't just a soundbar.It's one of the most compact and aesthetically pleasing soundbars that still has full-range sound without n...
Savner musikvisning på skærm, Mangler stadig officiel Alexa support i Danmark
Sonos Beam er et rigtigt klogt træk af Sonos. De har lavet en smarthøjttaler, der også kan fungere som en lille soundbar under dit TV. Prisen er så attraktiv, at det er en no-brainer i de rum, hvor du mangler en stereohøjttaler. Prisen er ca. 1.000 kr. Bi...

Smart Soundbars are not a huge thing yet, but we bet that it will soon dominate the digital market when people see its practicality and functionality. We may soon see this bit of modularity and upgradability from big-name brands which will enable more use...

Shelf-friendly form factor, Support for three voice assistants, Good output and soundstage, Sonos TruePlay DSP
Less powerful than the Playbar, Has some issues with clarity, Introduces audio delay, No Atmos or DTS:X
Sonos Beam looks to be a perfectly petite companion for your living room TV - it hooks into Sonos' multi-room platform, plus sports both Amazon Alexa and Siri (via AirPlay 2) with Google Assistant support on the horizon. It's not going to outclass a Dolby...
