I bought this product to get better sound without having to buy a subwoofer. It does not come with a remote. The connection to use on phone (Iphone) is horrible. It will not pair with my YouTube Tv stick. Very disappointed after being very excited. The sound Sonos gives is good but not crisp clear.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1
Cons: Difficult To Setup, Difficult to Use, Poor Sound Quality
UPS delivered the speaker wall mount wrong place and when I FINALLY got it all the screws were missing. Speaker, of course, was perfect. I have several.
Pros: Easy to use, Superior Sound, Wireless Surround Sound
The Beam Gen 2 has been an absolute PITA. I have a 32" 4K QD-OLED monitor attached to a desktop PC over DP, a PS5 over HDMI, and the Beam over HDMI eARC. When using the monitor's Auto Select feature, if the PS5 is off and the desktop PC goes to sleep, the Beam becomes thej input source and displays static images. This is stupid! Make it stop!
The soundbar looks good easy setup, good sound both for the TV and music. I have had the soundbar for a couple of week and I am please with its preformance. I own two other Sonos products and I like all of them.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound
Using as both a home audio system and to add surround sound to my new Samsung TV. Sonus setup was a breeze, integration with the Samsung took some effort but once it was done, sounds great. Definitely needs the Sub mini and Era 100s to punch up the sound. Getting equipment of 2 different companies to work together is definitely challenging.
Pros: Dolby Digital 5.1, Easy To Setup, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound, Versatile, Wireless Surround Sound
I bought this Beam as a gaming soundbar in my den. Room is about 12x12. This Beam fills the room with great sound. Don't let the size fool you. I plan to add the Era 100 for surrounds and mini sub at some point.
Pros: Easy To Setup, Easy to use, Speech enhancement, Superior Sound
