    Out of all of the sound bars I tested, this seemed to hit all the marks for me. Ended up buying two, one for the living room and one for the bedroom. Have each room setup with two Apple HomePods to somewhat create a surround sound (I only use Apple TV - this wouldn’t work otherwise).

    Sounds great for $340 (got it on sale). For 500 it will be good for the price when used with dolby atmos. If you pair with a sub/sub mini the beam will sound even better as the soundbar changes eq, focusing on mids and highs more.

    Is it full atmos with height effects? No. But the sound stage and clarity are impressive still. Huge upgrade over previous soundbar (Polk magnify mini). Make sure to connect TV via Hdmi eARC and set the format to pass-through if your TV supports it.

    My husband loves this speaker for our outside TV. We got it because the we could not hear the tv when we are in the pool. With the speaker we can hear the tv from the neighbors back yard. Great sound!

    By far, the best sound bar we have had! We had to adjust our TV settings so at first, I was a little skeptical, but once we got the right setting, it was amazing! Very clear and very detailed.

    Excellent sound bar. Played a couple Dolby Atmos movies off of Netflix and really couldn't tell the difference. But, it's a sound bar, not a full blown system. The sub is extremely overpriced. I have it in front of a 55 inch TV and will probably return it and get the bigger ARC model. In my opinion it's probably a better fit with a TV no larger then 50 inches.

    Using this with the Sonos sub mini and 2 Sonos ones gen 2 in my bedroom. They provide a balanced, room feeling sound. The system can go really loud. It’s an expensive set up compared to others but I’m more than pleased with my purchase.

    I was interested in upgrading the sound quality in a room where we only had the should from the TV. I elected to go with Sonos due to recommendations in the market and the ease of adding additional components to the Beam when and how I want to with a wireless option. It was a great decision and the sound quality is incredible.

    Excellent soundbar especially for the price point. I usually always buy Bose when it comes to speakers all around, decided to give Sonos a chance and I am very pleased with the quality and sound of this relatively small speaker. Perfect for my bedroom.
