“Having redecorated my living room and removed all the wires for the speakers. I wanted a sound bar that would do the job but it something huge which would be bigger than my existing tv and stand. I’ve always used an surround sound amplifier and speakers so I wasn’t expecting this to be up to much in comparison. My wife always says how she doesn’t get all this sound stuff. But I plugged the Sonos Beam in and although you really need some surround speakers, the sound was pretty good for such a small device. We sat down just to watch some normal tv and from that could still here things we hadn’t noticed before. My wife actually commented that the sound was so much better. A few movies from Netflix and we were very impressed. It could maybe do with a bit more bass. But I can’t fault it for price/features.”

“I am very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the overall quality of the Beam. The build quality is very high and gives confidence it will last. It seems expensive at first, but when you factor in all its features, the build quality, it’s great sound quality and the way it can be the start of a multi room system I can happily recommend it. We effectively down graded from a top of the range Samsung sound bar and sub from a few years back. My partner was not over keen with the size of the bar and especially the sub which was massive. So we decided to compromise and purchased the Beam , our first Sonos item. I was not expecting any miracles from the Beam, but don’t be fooled by the size, as the Beam produces a lovely, wide sound stage with surprising bass and power. One of the best features (apart from Alexa and Spotify integration) was the way it made speech sound so very clear! One of the problems with many sound bars is the way dialogue can disappear into the background, especially during action scenes. This never happens with the Beam. Dialogue is always clear and this is with the standard settings. I’m glad we bought the Beam and don’t miss our larger and supposedly more powerful predecessor. This is my first Sonos purchase and quite likely not my last!”

“Better sound than I expected for a compact sound bar. Will add the Sonos one speakers as surrounds as soon as funds allow.”

“There are serious and irresolvable lip sync issues with the Beam. The issue is caused by a delay in the TV passing the sound signal to the Beam. It affects a wide range of makes and models of TVs - mine a new 2019 Samsung Qled. Changing the TV’s audio output to PCM (stereo only) resolves the issue but doing so means 5.1 surround sound is not possible. The lip sync problem is most pronounced with the Virgin TV feed but less so with OTT VOD services. Had I known of the issues I would not have bought the Beam.”
