Sonos Beam review
The Sonos Beam is an impressive soundbar, and easily one of the smartest on the market, supporting everything from Alexa to Apple's AirPlay 2 – even if the Sonos Arc has since eclipsed it thanks to Dolby Atmos support. It's smart in the new sense of the word (see: smart speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home ) but, thanks to its inclusion of Sonos' multi-room audio tech, it's even easier to use and more well-connected than the competition, too. If anything's wrong with the Beam it's that this is only Sonos' third attempt at a TV-connected speaker and, therefore, isn't as streamlined as other soundbars on the market. It's also not packed with the latest and greatest in home theater tech, like Dolby Atmos or DTS Virtual:X, that creates a more immersive experience. If you can overlook the Beam's lack of cutting-edge features and instead on focus on its smart capabilities and multi-room platform, however, it's a fantastic product...
