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
  • Even some that cost less. You lose connectivity options on TVs that lack ARC. You can't switch between Google and Alexa on the fly and there's some lag with Googl
  • More HDMI ports would be nice
  • Hard to see if microphone is on or off

  • Abstract:  En lydplanke er midt i blinken for svært mange som ønsker et godt steg opp i lydkvalitet fra de pinglete høyttalerne som sitter innebygd i TV-en. Den er likevel ikke nødvendigvis det optimale valget om du først og fremst skal bruke den til musikk. Da vil...

  • Kan styre smarthjem med stemmen, og endelig har et Sonos-produkt fått HDMI. Gir TV-lyden-en en ny dimensjon, med naturlig og fin klang
  • Det finnes kraftigere saker, vi savner DTS-støtte, og trådløs subwoofer dobler prisen og vel så det
  • Med Beam har Sonos truffet spikeren på hodet, når de pakker en drøss av funksjoner – som stemmestyring og multirom – sammen med god lyd, i en lydplanke til bare fire tusen kroner. Vi savner bare å kunne skru av surroundsimuleringen når man hører musikk i...

  • Flott design, AirPlay 2, Solid app, Et bredt og mektig lydbilde, Like god til musikk som film, TV og spilling
  • Ønsker fyldigere bass, Litt knot med lyd når man velger ulike kilder, Få tilkoblingsmuligheter
  • Sonos Beam kommer i en liten og lekker innpakning, men ikke la deg lure av størrelsen. Sett bort fra ønsket om litt fyldigere og heftigere bass, er lydplanken ulv i fåreklær. Den takler alt du kaster mot den så lenge du ikke spiller altfor høyt, og da sna...

  Published: 2020-04-01, Author: Rasmus , review by: altomdata.dk

  • Abstract:  Nutidens tv'er er ligeså tynde i lyden, som de er det i designet. Uanset hvor meget producenterne prøver, er det stort set umuligt at få fyldig lyd ud af så smalle apparater. Eksterne højttalere er en nødvendighed for at få ordentlig filmlyd. Men du behøv...

  • Abstract:  Der er ikke noget, der kan forstærke en filmoplevelse som god lyd. Når du kan mærke luften fra højtalerne vibrere omkring dig i takt til lyden fra helikopterens rotorblade i Black Hawk Down, eller den summende fornemmelse du får i brystet, når Dødsstjerne...
