“Bought it to improve the sound on a new Samsung QLED TV and it certainly does that. The sound quality is great throughout the range, but it stands out in particular for improving and clarifying vocals. Really excellent sound quality. The top and rear Dolby Atmos performance is a bit weak, but not bad for such a small form factor. Only extra rear speakers would improve that, but it’s not a big issue for us. The set up was not as smooth as it should have been, but that turned out to be a Samsung/Humax issue with clashing HDMIs. After tearing my hair out, I eventually found and fitted to the Humax HDMI plug a CEC-less adapter which cured the issue immediately. The online Sonos instructions for fixing the problem were pretty useless. If anyone is suffering the same issue then this is the gizmo that worked for me. https://www.lindy.co.uk/cables-adapters-c1/audio-video-c107/hdmi-cec-less-adapter-female-to-male-p7299”

“Whilst the Beam may not be the most stylish of soundbars, in this case, substance triumphs over style. The sound, which let’s face it, is why we buy soundbars, is stunning and surpassed my expectations. I suffer from some hearing loss and often have to watch tv with subtitles as increasing the volume also increases the sound of accompanying music which then drowns out the speech. Fortunately the speech enhancement of the Beam works wonderfully well and I no longer need subtitles. Result. When listening to music I have also started to hear instruments that I hadn’t heard previously during playback. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to set up Trueplay as the microphones kept picking up sounds that I couldn’t hear. I suspect it might have been a refrigerator in the kitchen. I was able to set up manually from a helpful YouTube video. Re the app, I’m slowly learning to get full use of it but it would be helpful if Sonos could provide a 5 year old child with every Beam. They seem to be able to deal with all things tech. Am I happy with the Beam, you bet I am. I have plans to add a couple of Sonos Ones and if the rumoured small sub ever comes to pass, I’ll buy that too. That’s the sign of a satisfied listener.”
