Excellent audio quality, Sounds bigger than it is, Flawless Alexa integration, Superb remote app, HDMI ARC, Attractive and compact design
Bass is slightly lacking, Limited AV options, A bit pricey
The Sonos Beam soundbar is an excellent new addition to the manufacturer's line-up, delivering a surprisingly big soundstage from a compact cabinet. It's considerably cheaper than the larger PlayBar, and now includes an HDMI connection for ARC. There are...
Setting it up is extremely simple and the app guides you through every step, You get access to Sonos' Trueplay feature that uses the microphone on your iPad to analyse how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, glass and other surfaces in a room, adjustin
You need wi-fi to set-up and use the soundbar, It won't mute music if a call comes through to your smartphone while you're playing music, It comes with just one HDMI port and an adapter if you have an optical connector on your TV - we'd prefer it to have
A great value for money soundbar that's smaller than usual. The great sound, multi-room feature and the addition of Amazon Alexa make it a worthwhile buy.Overall Score: 83/100RATINGS:Ease of use: 4/5Design: 4/5Performance: 4/5Instructions: 4/5WE LIKEDSett...

Great compact design, HDMI ARC compatible, Superb sound
Sonos app not home theater friendly, No Dolby Atmos, Don't have HDMI ARC? Then setup gets tricky
This is the Sonos soundbar we've been waiting for. Small enough to attach itself to the majority of TVs, coupled with enough innovation and sound performance to impress. Yes, there are a few niggles but, at this price, they soon fade away...

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

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...

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...
