, 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.

She says she never knew what she was missing out on when it comes to audio quality and that it has significantly improved the way she enjoys the TV and music in the apartment.

Excellent sound the best, great design, easy connect to TV, AirPlay 2 and Alexa

Purchased right when it became available to complement a new TV.

The Beam was small enough to carry around with the original packaging, and its super easy to install and setup on smart TV in our Airbnb house

All-New Sonos Beam - Compact Smart TV Soundbar

I have never liked sonos but needed a decent sound bar for my bedroom tv

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

It takes all of 10 seconds and couldn’t be easier but it took me a little while to figure out that I needed to do this in order to use my TV remote to control the TV volume like usual

Tcl LED tv and told me accurately which menu I needed to go into to activate the speaker once connected

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

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

HDR UHD Smart LED TV

This HDMI ARC port issue may not bother you if you have a TV with multiple HDMI ports and they all support 4K and HDR, however on my Sony TV the only ports that support HDR are ports 2 and 3

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

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

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

You specifically have to say “Alexa, switch Living Room to TV” and it will work

Dialogue sounded clearer out of my TCL 6-series TV, unfortunately, even with loudness turned off and with speech enhancement turned on

While the dynamic range is a huge improvement over a flat panel TV, the clarity is just so-so

The best smart tv soundbar on the market right now

Works great with my wall mounted TV... sound quality is terrific and the seamless integration with my TV and other AV components (to include Apple products using BT) is amazing.

My Vizio TV has 4 HDMI inputs, and ALL of them support ARC, which I only found out by looking at input menu’s on my TV.

The only issue i temporarily ran into (no fault to sonos) is my remote for my tv (2017 samsung smart tv) used RF rather than IR

n’t trust either one.
