It's great for music for sure, and it is easy to use. It disconnects often from the tv and it's frustrating to reconnect. It also doesn't have great sound for dialogue while watching tv. The voice clarity is not good, even when speech enhancement is on. Disappointed as tv watching is what I bought it for.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Free Control Options, Wireless
Cons: Poor Sound Quality, Unreliable, Voice quality on tv is not good
It takes about 10 mins for it to go away but when watching movies the sounds cut in and put every 10 seconds, its annoying and seem to be a problem with beam products. Hard reset and software up to date.
Pros: Superior Sound
Cons: Difficult To Setup, Poor Sound Quality, Unreliable
Purchased the beam to get music and surround sound. I have had sonos speakers for many years but the beam is worthless and tech support is horrendous. Hooked up the beam to my 2 sonos One's and I was able to get music through the speakers but was unable to get any sound from the TV. Tried on 2 separate TVs, one using optical output and using the ARC HDMI on another. Couldn't get it to work. Spent 3 hours on a call with tech support going through the tech 1 support team and tech 2 support team with no success. They said I needed to talk to tech 3 support, but they didn't have any appointments for 3 days. So I returned it. What a joke!!! I really want to give this product and tech support 0 stars.
We connected the Beam to a new LG TV. The setup itself was very easy. Beyond watching audio enhanced TV, we use the Beam to stream music from the Sonos app on our phones. Audio quality is very good.
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound
