Great sound, Alexa built-in, Airplay compatible,
Initial setup of Sonos app can be finicky
The Sonos Beam is both a great soundbar and one of the best bases on which to build a multi-speaker Sonos system. If your soundbar budget is $400 or over, we would highly recommend it...

With 63 music services supported and Amazon Alexa smart technology built in, the SONOS Beam appears to be a great addition to a SONOS family, meaning that if you are already invested in SONOS multi room audio environment than the Beam would find itself ri...
Incredibly versatile, Impressive sound for its size, Direct support for Amazon Alexa and (coming soon) Google Assistant
Small size means it can't fill larger rooms with sound, No support for DTS or any form of immersive audio (e.g, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X), No support for high-resolution audio codecs
One of the more affordable entries in the Sonos ecosystem, the Beam sounds great and is remarkably versatile. It delivers bigger sound than you might expect for its size, but it doesn't get loud enough for very large rooms...

Huge sound for the size, especially from the low-end, Superb channel separation, Puts Sonos features right in front of you, Lets you control your TV with Alexa, Easy to set up

Easy set up, Alexa inside, Wide soundstage
Bass lacks detail, No Bluetooth audio
The Sonos Beam has a lot going for it. At the top of the list, there's Alexa, which brings smart-speaker functions into your living room. With the promise of Google Assistant and AirPlay 2 on the way, this speaker won't become obsolete anytime soon. It de...

Sounds great in a small to mid-sized room, Assistant-agnostic approach is admirable, Affordable, Does a good job of handling multiple services
Very expensive in a 5.1 surround configuration, Takes up an HDMI port, Not every assistant works in the same way
Sonos' talent has always been taking something deceptively complicated and making it serenely foolproof. That used to be multi-room music; now, it's getting multiple assistants and streaming platforms to work together without an AI uprising. For the most...
Abstract: In the world of soundbars, to say there's variety in what's offered, and how much you can pay, is an understatement. Searching "soundbar" on Amazon sees companies like Vizio offering a basic $75 option that's no-frills and pretty well-received, while big...
