I expected somewhat of a full room sound even without back speakers. Even though I used the "tune" app about 5 times, there was no improvement. I'm not sure the Beam sounds any better than my tv speakers. I do like the ability to play music from sources and my phone.
I wanted something that had great sound, and I like the fact that it had Dolby Atmos. The sound is great, especially for movies with a lot of varied noises ( action, war movies, etc) I only have two complaints... When utilizing my Apple Music the volume could stand to be a little louder. Also, Google assistant does not support Apple Music, so I can not request my music using the assistant.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Google assistant doesn't support Apple Music.
I did not check to see if my TV was comparable with the Beam but I was still able to connect with the optic connection. After figuring it iut, all I can say is it is well worth the price. We have great sound, clarity for speech, and is wonderful for TV or casting music. Overall, fantastic purchase!
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy to use, Night Mode, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Versatile, Wireless Surround Sound
I bought this at recommendation of a friend from work. It's great. It sounds much better than just my tv speakers. While i don't have a sub with it yet I can still feel the bass. Only problem is that it seems to have a small delay from what's on the screen. Not crazy bad but noticeable enough that it does bother me sometimes.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Superior Sound, Wireless Surround Sound
Beam 2 is such an amazing speaker for the living room. The room correction feature with Trueplay is stunning, and you will feel the difference once configured. The sound effect for movies, especially the Dolby Atmos ones are nowhere comparable to other speakers. The sound quality it produces for its size is simply amazing and brilliant. The size really fits under my TV and creates richer sound.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Dolby Atmos, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Superior Sound, Wireless
It is great for watching movies and just news and music sound great. Very clear and crisp. The subwoofers are powerful and delivery great sound effects. Rock metal sound very good - don't have this boom box sound that bose speakers deliver (have couple and their sound wave radio). Sonos won me over. I originally purchased ray (I don't hav elarge space and price was appealing) which was great too but wanted atmos for 4k movies (if you have tv with arc and players capable). Beam is a keeper. Sonos support is great . They answer quickly and are not annoying .
