Great connectivity. Good improvement over built in tv speakers. Works well with existing tv remote. Sound is somewhat disappointing at this price point.
So pleased with our Beam Gen 2! The sound is amazing and Speech Enhancement is just what our aging ears need. Incredible engineering to create sound that surpasses our old Bose 321 system without an external subwoofer. It is even working with the ARC/CEC on our 2010ish TV so our Roku remote runs it all. Absolutely happy with our first Sonos!
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound
I set it up with a tv used primarily for movies. I paired it with 2 Play Ones for some decent surround sound without the need for purchasing a new receiver. It sounded very good except it needed to work hard to produce the bass at the expense of other sounds. By adding the Sub-Mini this problem was resolved. Very happy with the set up now.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
The sound is excellent and very much as I expect from a Sonos product. The one "hitch" I have is that I cannot get my remote to control the sound. I have a Firestick and my Beam is connected to the Samsung TV's optical port. In the setup process, the normal steps don't work. When the volume up button is pressed, the Beam does not recognize the signal. I have yet to find a solution.
