    Its only been less than a month, but it sounds incredible. People say that the only downside is that you can't connect via Bluetooth. The workaround is to mirror your device to the tv its connected to, and voila, your music from your device to the soundbar. Dolby Atmos works great, sounds like a true surround sound system without extra speakers. But more speakers probably amplifies the effect.

    I am a long time Sonos user and have several of their products. This is my first Sonos "sound bar". The beam is perfect for middle size TV's- 40" - 55" +/-. The sound quality is a huge improvement over built-in speakers. You can control it with a TV or Roku remote, so no extra remote. Also good for music with a sonos system. Recommended.

    Like all Sonos products, the Beam is an excellent speaker. It sounds great at any volume level, and works well in apartments where you don't necessarily want the loudest soundbar out there. It's definitely expensive but well worth it. Works beautifully with other speakers in the Sonos ecosystem

    Great sound and easy setup. I ended up trading it for the arc because I wanted the upward firing speakers. Best compact soundbar though for the price IMO.

    The Sonos works well and I love the sound I'm getting from it. I use it primarily for watching TV but have started using the music and radio features via the Sono's app. I highly recommend the unit, it has a very clear voice sound when watching movies and shows, plus music sounds great through it. I purchased it at Best Buy and was happy with the service and sales help I received.

    I got this for my basement, I was worried it would be under powered compared to Arc or without a sub. It’s been perfect so far. Maybe I’ll get a sub in the future but I could see myself never getting one and be plenty happy.

    Big on sound, especially music. Built for small to medium spaces. As a main unit for video payback, on alot of source material, the soundscape is very narrow. Atmos is simulated, no dedicated up firing speakers. Compared to a 3 yr old Samsung q70, I think the Samsung beats it. Paired with a sub mini, you ve got a pretty good setup but at the price, it can be beat.
