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

Wide, high quality sound, Compact, elegant design, Easy upgrading with additional Sonos speakers
Voice assistants not enabled (yet), Sonos is remarkable for many things: stellar sound quality, minimalist, functional design, and a neat little palindromic brand name. From the smallest, most affordable Play:1 (SGD 269) to the frankly massive (in size an

Hemos convivido con la Sonos Beam una buena temporada y la echaremos de menos. Incluso si, como en nuestro caso, no se dispone de otros altavoces o sistemas Sonos, merece la pena. Si además resulta que ya disponemos de algún altavoz Sonos, entonces la dec...
