this sound bar is fantastic for watching tv just the right size we have 2 of the original ones one in the living room and one in the

Incompatibilities with top brand TV’s is pretty unreal in this day and age

I got the Sonos Beam specifically (versus a cheaper sound bar) primarily because it has Alexa built in, and boy

It is amazing how it does not seem like it could be just a sound bar

This sound bar is intuitive to use by voice command (Thanks Alexa!), and sounds great

The bar works great for the TV sound but also is super easy to use for things like Spotify or internet radio

It works fine as an HDMI arc sound bar though, which is mostly what I use it for

The setup is completely unsupported by Sonos customer service, so I was left to trying several different solutions to rig it together, and it just does not work

The result of this efficient cable setup is that I have a total of 3 cables:- A power cable for the TV- A power cable for the Sonos- An HDMI cable to connect them (This cable was included with the Sonos

Great sound and easy setup with other Sonos for a surround system.

The app walked me through a very fast setup, and even helped me sync our cable remote so we can use it for volume control

Setup was easy enough; the Sonos app remembered all the one-time settings to get onto my Wifi and was able to instruct the Beam to do that without any additional effort on my part.

This soundbar is compact and fits under my computer monitor

I got a Sonos Beam to replace my parents' inexpensive Yamaha soundbar

The Sonos Beam Smart TV Soundbar is in a league of its own.

Overall, the soundbar is a big boost over the speaker system included in the TV.

This equation adds up to the Beam as the perfect soundbar in my bedroom

Excellent sound bar and integration into my existing theater setup was superbly easy.

Integration with the rest of my sonos speaskers was seamless and when all three are synced the music experience is really good in my house

...well worth the integration and honestly sounds much better

The integration of Amazon Alexa makes it highly useful in a modern digital home with very good voice response and coverage -- at times better response than the Echo and Dots I already have.

But with all the focus around Alexa now with Sonos I have to say it actually hurts the value of the speaker b/c the integration is problematic.

It's frustrating, because the quality of sound is pretty good

Super easy to set up, offers great sound quality and works with Airplay which is nice

if your ears are used to anything other than the absolute bottom of the barrel, you will notice immediately that the sound quality is a substantial downgrade.

Great product, very good sound quality and good looking too

However the sound quality is a little disappointing

I replaced an old "dumb" theatre system for this.

The Sonos Beam is really a great sounding speaker system that happens to take up very little space

Sound playing video games or movies is nearly on par with my former system, it’s only during critical listening with music that this amazing system does not quite get there

Together, it sounds just as good and even better than my previous wired system.

I paired it with with my two Sonos One speakers and the surround sound is almost as good as my full 5.1 previous system

I was disappointed; there's no low mids at all, bass is nonexistent, and the upper treble register has very poor

Sound quality is amazing and the bass feels right, not overpowering.

It had great sound and bass was excellent because it had a wireless and separate sub-woofer module

So, needless to say, this thing still packs punchy bass and room filling sound for our needs, with excellent audio quality

TV.SOUNDThe sound is clear and there is some decent Bass to it as well

But with all the focus around Alexa now with Sonos I have to say it actually hurts the value of the speaker b/c the integration is problematic.

Great product, very good sound quality and good looking too

I wish I could give this three stars, but I try not to pan a good product.

Kudos to Sonos for creating a product that is well built, easy to use,

This was simple to setup, despite some of the reviews I read... great sound and great product.

Sonos One speakers is superior to the sound from a single Beam

The Sonos Beam is really a great sounding speaker system that happens to take up very little space

If you have other passive speakers already, it will not work with them at all (unless they are Sonos -

With the Sonos Beam, there are compact speakers all around

It does blow the TV speakers completely out of the water and fills the room with high quality sound

, it say’s you need to find an HDMI input on your tv that’s labeled “ARC” (audio return channel), and that if your TV doesn’t have that it won’t support HDMI control of your TV for the speaker.

It has problems turning TV on, only erratically searches for shows on something like Hulu, and you have to remember to use the full name of the TV (as defined by room name in Sonos) to turn the TV off

We thought we were happy with the sound output of our family room TV.

I had a Fire TV Cube on my main TV, but didn't like the TV's sound

The Sonos Beam Smart TV Soundbar is in a league of its own.

But with all the focus around Alexa now with Sonos I have to say it actually hurts the value of the speaker b/c the integration is problematic.

The audio fills the entire space and even at half the volume, the music is incredibly good

They make great music speakers but aren’t ready for TV speakers

And it seems to keep updating its understanding of the range of volume we like when it otherwise has a too loud music track, or a mumblling actor

Alexa integration is extremely poor and works only for turning Tv off and sporadic music selection.

The Beam is difficult to set up on a lot of Samsung and LG TV's

Overall I would recommend the Sonos Beam if you are remotely considering

The Sonos Beam Smart TV Soundbar is in a league of its own.

The Beam suffers from a .4s audio lag behind the video when playing Dolby Digital audio.

The Beam is compact, has big sound, great clarity, and you control volume, or pause, by just saying Alexa

Like most people have said, Sonos is generally overpriced for what it is/does (functionally; and the app can be a bit clunky at times) but their hardware designs are always sleek and solid (if you value that), and if you have any existing Sonos speakers (we have a few Play:1's https://www.amazon.com/Sonos-PLAY-Compact-Wireless-Streaming/dp/B00EWCUK98) then the attraction of this sound bar is probably a bit stronger

BTW you can't really mix Sonos and other speakers because Sonos introduces some delay in order to cue up the various speaker elements and the picture

This is a cheap Sonos speaker both in quality and price

so now I’m contemplating the sonos woofer as well but the 700$ sticker price is holding me back

This is the first soundbar I've as well as the first Sonos product I've owned.
