Have had days of setup pain getting it to play well w/ my new Apple TV 4K and Hisense TV. Random sound drops in certain streaming services, no audio at all randomly after boot, CEC issues, and audio lipsync issues. Can't directly cast songs from Android. Shame b/c soundbar sounds awesome!
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound
Cons: Difficult To Setup, Lipsync issues, No Android casting support, Poor Youtube Music support, Sound cut-outs, Unreliable
After failing with a Bose soundbar, the Beam had no issues. Seamless integration with Samsung. Sound solves the TV/Streaming/DVD sound conundrums. The only problem I have is when I need to use Bluetooth headphones, it'll connect for a second, but the Beam keeps pulling control back. So, I have to unplug the Beam.
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Night Mode, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Versatile

Very difficult to set up with my TV. Once it "works" i must use both the app on my phone and the TV remote to control sound otherwise an echo is heard.
Cons: Difficult To Setup, Difficult to Use, Poor Sound Quality
