Great upgrade for TV sound, Alexa works well, Simple to set up and use
Google Assistant support turning into a shadowy promise, made in whispers, Average music sound quality, Upgrading to full home theater system is very expensive
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 vo
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...

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...

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...

Great for what it is - a compact sounbd bar and part of the Sonos family
Don't buy it if you expect great things from Alexa
Great price-point, Easy setup, Comprehensive compatibility
Not as big impact as the Playbar or Playbase, No Google Assistant (yet)
If you've been reticent or reluctant to buy a soundbar until now, the Sonos Beam is a product that does everything it can to push you over that line...
Fantastic sound, Very small, Touch controls up top, Support for voice assistants, AirPlay 2 support on-board, HDMI ARC means modern TVs can control the Sonos by remote, Excellent price
Needs more support for smart assistants
Even without Google's smart assistant, the Sonos Beam gets so much of the smart speaker and the soundbar formula right, finding that middle ground really well.Yes, it's an excellent soundbar with the hardware that feels like it can do no wrong, and like a...

No wall-mount option
Despite this being Sonos' third product to fight for the space under your TV, they've found a way to make the combination of features, design and price, something that will really appeal to a lot of people. Thinking through the potential market for who sh...
