Nice sound depth

Puts out a nice thump as compared to the flat TV. My dogs are having issues getting used to it, but that's too bad, because I'm enjoying it.
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Wireless Surround Sound
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than the Arc!

I have the Arc, sub and Ones. I use the Arc in my movie room with the Sonos Sub and the ones for the surround. Just got this Beam for the living room. The Beam has better highs and vocals than the Arc. Before buying another sub to pair with the beam I moved the sub from the movie room to the living room to see how it would do. OMG it is amazing. I have the Beam at Treble +10, Bass 0, Loudness on, Sub +8 and Speech Enhancement on. Everything sounds great, clean and clear. The ONLY downside is the dialog sync (voice sound matched to actors lips). It is just a hair behind but not much. The average person would struggle to notice. The Arc is synced perfectly. I will eventually put the Sonos/Sonance ceiling speakers in as the rear surround with the Sonos Amp powering them. This setup will be better than the movie room. Sonos needs to keep tweaking the Arc as it should be able to out perform the Beam. The Arc still needs higher highs and better vocals even after the latest update (though the latest update did help out quite a bit).
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement
Cons: TV Dialog Sync Slightly Delayed

Added the Beam to an older Panasonic 50" Plasma in the bedroom. Couldn't get it to work with "surround" configured on the Cable Box & TV. Had to change output on HDMI ARC port to Stereo PCM. Then it worked fine..Probable an issue with the older Panasonic TV rather that the Sonos Beam.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless

Are use the beam sound bar for both TV and music. It does a very good job for our room. It is not unbelievable quality but I would say it is very good and will satisfy most listeners.

Superb, full sound and dead simple to set up

We bought a beam for our mom and loved how it filled her large living room. Finally bought one for us. Both set ups were a breeze. One with an LG OLED, the other a Samsung LED. Both had HDMI Arc ports, so the TV remote controls. The sound from this fairly small sound bar is excellent. A+ product.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Superior Sound
