I purchased the Beam to go with a new TV purchase as with the TV speakers, the sound had way too much treble. So, so easy to set up & the ease of use is incredible. The sound produced is excellent. I've set up my Beam to work with my google home & my Spotify account. LOVE this speaker. I will be looking at expanding my sound bar in the future with a Sonos product.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I had a Mac connected to a TV in my bedroom. I had the audio output to a conventional two-speaker stereo as well. Also, in my bedroom, I had a small Google assistant speaker. I replaced the speaker and the stereo with the Beam. First, I have not been able to connect the TV with the HDMI to Digital converter that came with it. I don't believe it works at all. I connect with Apple AirPlay as everything comes from the Mac anyway in this situation. Secondly, the Google assist part doesn't work as well as a regular Google speaker. It has some limitations when AirPlay is playing to it. But the worst is that - for no reason - it just says "Sorry, I didn't understand that." It just blurts it out, once in the middle of the night. I do like the Beam for it's sound. It is just what I hoped for after paying this price. It's just amazing! Apple AirPlay works really well on it.
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Superior Sound, Wireless Surround Sound
Cons: Google issues; ditital to HDMI converter problem
Excellent sound output! Very happy with this purchase!

Just bought a new TV but I wasn't satisfied with the tv sound. My son recommended me to get a Sonos as he also had one and very happy with it. Excellent sound! Enough sound output with the size of my family room. I'll soon get the Arc for my basement entertainment centre when it becomes available.
I bought this product to help with my hearing issues when using the sound system from my Samsung TV. The issue being during a movie or example the soft speaking part I had trouble hearing it. I had to turn up the volume, then the action part was way too loud. The sales person said he has this product and solved this issue for volume. I does re-direct the sound better put really doesn't do much for the other issues. Volume still needs to be adjusted constantly. Unless I am using it wrong.
