Verified Purchase:Yes
After failing with Bose 600 we exchanged for Sonos Beam. Should have purchased the first time. Our son has Sonos Beam and recommended it. Set up in minutes. App is easy to use. Not one issue. Bose would randomly turn TV back on after you turned off. We tried everything to fix. Not one issue with Sonos. Will buy additional speakers for outdoors.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Wireless Surround Sound
After setup, found that the sound quality of the Beam (gen 2) and the Mini Sub are borderline exceptional. This is attached to my tv, but having the ability to freely airplay music over the speaker system is wonderful, and a breeze! I played all types of music on it so far, classical, jazz, pop, country, and even musicals. The rich base and wide ranging Beam make a great pair and filled up the room with great sound. One issue I had during setup was with the Mini Sub was during updates. I had been able to setup and update my Beam without issue and then tried the same with the Mini Sub. However, it would not update after many attempts and even after contacting Sonos Chat support. Turns out it was the VPN I had connected on my phone. Even though it was connected during setup of the Beam, the VPN interfered with the Mini Sub setup. I recommend that you turn off any VPN or firewall (either at router or on your mobile device) during setup. Once I disconnected the VPN, the Mini Sub connected and updated first round. Great sound followed!
Pros: Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Versatile, Wireless Surround Sound
