Tried everything to voice sync to TV. The sonos app will only allow positive adjustment which only makes the voice come through slower. Needs to be a negative adjustment to speed up to sync properly. Would give 5 stars if they fix this issue.
We purchased this for our vacation condo. The network is managed by the association, so we don't have any control over the router. After a day and a half of trying to connect the Beam to the network, we had to give up and connect it via an ethernet cable. The Beam works well and the sound is great. Sonos Tech Support sent me a list of incompatible hardware, and I was surprised to see so many manufacturers who's hardware is not supported. We installed Apple TV at the same time as our Sonos Beam. The Apple TV installation was simple Plug & Play. The Sonos Beam was not!

I have the Sonos Beam and roam. They are expensive and sound good when they work. But the connection is temperamental the app never works. Updates can render it useless or require to reset you entire system. The roam supposedly connects with the beam but rarely works. Bottom line is it's great in theory but expensive, temperamental and doesn't really deliver its promises. Beware before you choose to invest in this system
Cons: Difficult To Setup, Difficult to Use, Unreliable
As mentioned, great for its size. I have it paired with 2 - Ones, and a sub in an 18'X20' room. Makes for a great center. Works well by itself as well.
