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

  • Abstract:  Udvalget af tv-fladskærme vokser, og det konstant tyndere tv-design ser knaldgodt ud i stuen. Skærmene imponerer med dybe farver, skarpe billeder, og tv'erne byder på et væld af funktioner, masser af indgange, streaming og flere mere eller mindre brugbare...

  • Flot kompakt design, Kompatible med HDMI ARC, Super god lyd
  • Sonos app spiller ikke så godt med hjemmebiografen, Ingen Dolby Atmos, Har du ikke HDMI ARC? Så kan opsætningen drille
  • Det er den Sonos soundbar, vi har ventet på. Den er lille nok til at passe til de fleste fladskærme og har samtidig så mange funktioner og så god ydelse, at vi er imponerede. Ja, der er nogle småting, der driller, men til den pris, glemmer man hurtigt alt...

  • Kan styre det smarte hjem med stemmen, og endelig har et Sonos-produkt fået HDMI. Giver tv-lyden en ny dimension med fin og naturlig klang
  • Vi savner DTS-understøttelse, og en trådløs subwoofer fordobler prisen og lidt til
  • Selv uden subwoofer giver Sonos Beam mere troværdig og naturlig lyd end de andre i klassen. Den har selvfølgelig ikke så meget slagkraft i bassen, men lyder heller ikke tyndt. Derimod har den meget klar lyd på sangstemmer og dialoger. Kombinér dette m...

  • Abstract:  En soundbar passer rigtig godt til de mange, som gerne vil et solidt trin op i forhold til lydkvaliteten fra de fesne højttalere, der er indbygget i tv'et. Den er dog ikke nødvendigvis det optimale valg, hvis du primært skal bruge den til musik. Så vil et...

  • Abstract:  Sonos sparkede gang i en tendens som nu stort set alle konkurrenter følger. Ja, næsten alle respektable højtalerproducenter har multiroom som helt og aldeles standardiseret feature i disse dage, og det efterlader Sonos i en kuriøs position - fortsætter du...

  Published: 2018-10-02, review by: altomdata.dk

  • Abstract:  Sonos er stadig kongen af streamet musik til flere rum. Og med producentens højttalerudvalg, der også omfatter en subwoofer, kan du sammensætte et surroundanlæg, som du kan bruge til at forbedre lyden fra dit tv med. Sonos har også længe haft en lydbar i...

  • Kan styre det smarte hjem med stemmen, og endelig har et Sonos-produkt fået HDMI. Giver tv-lyden en ny dimension med fin og naturlig klang
  • Der findes kraftigere sager, vi savner DTS-understøttelse, og den trådløse subwoofer fordobler prisen – og lidt til
  • Med Beam har Sonos ramt hovedet på sømmet, idet de har pakket et væld af funktioner – såsom stemmestyring og multirum – sammen med god lyd ind i en soundbar til under 3.500 kroner. Vi savner bare at kunne slukke for surround-simuleringen, når man høre...

  Published: 2018-08-21, review by: altomdata.dk

  • Abstract:  Sonos har allerede to tv-højttalere i sortimentet, Playbar og Playbase. Nu kommer sørme en tredje. Beam gør det ikke bare prismæssigt mere overkommeligt at få tv-lyden integreret i sit Sonos-setup. Den byder også på andre egenskaber, som bør give den bred...

  • God mellemtone, Design og kvalitet, Fint 3D-lydbillede, Apple Airplay 2, God mellemtone, Design og kvalitet, Fint 3D-lydbillede, Apple Airplay 2
  • Forvrænger ved høj volumen, Svag bas, Ingen Dolby Atmos, Kun 1 HDMI-port, Forvrænger ved høj volumen, Svag bas, Ingen Dolby Atmos, Kun 1 HDMI-port
  • Sonos har med Beam lanceret sin mindste soundbar til dato og den rammer ned i et konkurrencepræget segment. Her falder den bestemt ikke igennem, men det bliver selvsagt heller ikke et reference-produkt. Diskant og mellemtone er Beams åbenlyse styrker, båd...
