From commercials to symphonies, the layering of sound is fantastic on the Beam speaker. As you listen you discover the many distinct sounds coming through the speaker. Voice, every instrument, sound effects, they all come through clearly and distinctly.
I have this product coupled with two Sonos One SLs and the sub Gen 3. What an awesome set up. There are a few upgrades through firmware I would like: First I would like to see Sonos add the ability to the Beam Gen 2 to turn up and down the center channel. I understand there is the dialogue enhancement but sometimes that is not enough. Second I would like to being able to turn up and down the right and left channels on the Beam Gen 2. Thirdly, I would ask for a active adjustable crossover in the iOS app for the Sub Gen 3 when using in a surround sound set up.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Night Mode, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Versatile, Wireless Surround Sound
Bought this for my tv. Works great. Setup is super easy on iOS. Sound quality, dialogue clarity and base is exceptional for its size. It does look small under larger TVs (I upgraded from a 50" to a 65")
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
In order to be able to utilize this system appropriately, my TV would have to have an HDMI arc. My TV is old enough that I don't have that HDMI feature. As an alternative it's suggested that I can use the fiber optic cord. However I have, plugged in to that feature, a very important hearing aid connection. I guess I need one more alternative for properly connecting My Home theater speaker.
