The editors didn't like

  • Only works with other Sonos speakers for surround sound and subwoofer. With a $699 Sonos SUB as the only subwoofer option
  • That's a pricey step
  • Distorts at high volume
  • Weak bass
  • No Dolby Atmos
  • Only 1 HDMI port
  • The lack of a subwoofer means the Beam lacks deep bass compared to sub-equipped competitors. You lose some connectivity options on TVs that lack ARC. Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay 2 haven't been added yet
  • No Bluetooth
  • Optional subwoofer is expensive
  • Small size means it can't fill larger rooms with sound
  • No support for DTS or any form of immersive audio (e.g
  • Dolby Atmos
  • DTS
  • X)
  • No support for high-resolution audio codecs
  • The lack of a subwoofer means the Beam lacks deep bass compared to sub-equipped competitors

  • Sound

  • Im Vergleich zu den bisherigen Sonos-Soundbars ist die Sonos Beam mit einer unverbindlichen Preisempfehlung von 449 Euro sehr günstig. Abstriche beim Sound muss man dafür nicht wirklich hinnehmen. Egal ob Fernsehprogramm oder Musikstreaming, der Klang sch...

  • Goede audiokwaliteit
  • Door compacter design zijn er wat compromissen gedaan qua audio-hardware
  • Sonos is niet voor iedereen. En toch spreekt het merk een brede groep gebruikers aan die van gemak houden en een multiroom-systeem zoeken dat makkelijk uit te breiden is en dat met allerlei diensten samenwerkt. De Sonos Beam past precies in die aanpak: je...

  • Slank design, Veel ingangen en Chromecast, Heel ruime soundstage, Goed voor dialogen
  • Geen echte Dolby Atmos-ervaring
  • Een soundbar kiezen is nog niet zo gemakkelijk. Voor een groot deel heeft het te maken met je verwachtingen en ambities. Wil je gewoon iets beter tv-geluid en stemmen beter verstaan? Dan volstaat een compacte soundbar zoals de Sony HT-MT300 of Denon HT-S3...

  • Met recht een compacte en functionele soundbar, Dankzij spraakbediening veel slimme extra functies, Eenvoudig te installeren, Populair warme sound, Gunstige prijs-prestatieverhouding
  • Trueplay laat zich lastig configureren, Klankmatig prima, maar je moet er wel van houden
  • Ben je op zoek naar een compacte functionele soundbar die ook muzikaal goed uit de verf komt, neem dan gerust de Sonos Beam in overweging. Gezien de brede inzetbaarheid als soundbar met alle bijbehorende functionaliteit, is de prijsstelling van de Beam sc...

  • Modern Design, Zuiver geluid, Ondersteuning muziek diensten, HDMI ARC, RJ45 aansluiting, Slimme assisten
  • De app, Microfoon, Twee keer hetzelfde moeten zeggen tegen de slimme assisten
  • Het is een erg fijne 3 in 1 speaker. Het is een soundbar voor de tv. Een speaker om gewoon muziek op af te spelen en een assistent. Al is deze officieel nog niet in Nederland beschikbaar. Ik ga er misschien op een later moment nog een sonos play of one bi...
