The editors didn't like

  • No Dolby Atmos
  • Will need to add more speakers to really make it shine
  • 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
  • Expensive for a small soundbar
  • Some music services not supported
  • No Chromecast option for Android
  • Less powerful than the Playbar
  • Has some issues with clarity
  • Introduces audio delay
  • No Atmos or DTS
  • X
  • Sonos app not home theater friendly
  • Don't have HDMI ARC? Then setup gets tricky
  • Not as punchy as Playbar
  • Only one ethernet port
  • Not all Alexa skills work
  • Can be pushed to harshness
  • More HDMI inputs would be nice
  • Sonos doesn't do Dolby Atmos
  • Alexa still has numerous ‘quirks'
  • You will spin rapidly down the expensiveness rabbit hole if you want to move up to the full 5.1/multi-room Sonos works
  • Relatively expensive
  • No roomshaking bass
  • Takes up a port on your TV
  • No HDMI passthrough
  • No support for Dolby Atmos
  • Individual speakers can be trumped for sound
  • No hi-res support
  • Still no HDMI pass-through
  • No Dolby Atmos support
  • Bass is slightly lacking
  • Limited AV options
  • A bit pricey
  • You need wi-fi to set-up and use the soundbar
  • It won't mute music if a call comes through to your smartphone while you're playing music
  • It comes with just one HDMI port and an adapter if you have an optical connector on your TV - we'd prefer it to have

  • Simplicité d'installation, Compatible Alexa, Siri et Google, Qualité audio, Simplicité d'installation
  • Aimant à poussières
  • Une barre de son compacte et connectée, c’est un produit qui a tout d’un pari risqué. Sauf que derrière la Beam, il y a Sonos et que pour le coup, le constructeur américain a fait un travail remarquable. Pour 450€, la nouvelle barre de son se positionne c...

  • Abstract:  Ein vertrautes Szenario: Im Wohnzimmer winkt der Flachbildfernseher mit Spiel, Spaß und Entertainment, aber trotz kolossaler Bilddiagonale will sich kein Heimkinogefühl einstellen. Der Grund: Der Sound macht die Musik. Ergo: Die integrierten Lautsprecher...

  • Abstract:  Wir haben 27 Soundbars getestet. Die beste Soundbar mit Surround-Qualitäten und feinen musikalischen Eigenschaften ist die Denon DHT-S716H – schon ohne separaten Subwoofer und trotz ihres schlanken Designs. Wer noch mehr braucht, kann mit einem zusätzlich...

  • Abstract:  Soundbars wie die Teufel Cinebar Ultima oder die mit Dolby Atmos ausgestattete Sony HT-X8500HT-X8500 sind eine platzsparende Möglichkeit, den oftmals dünnen Klang der TV-Lautsprecher deutlich zu verbessern und eignen sich zudem für den Einsatz im Heimkino...

  • Abstract:  Mit Wohnzimmer-freundlichen Designs und innovativer Software hat sich Sonos zu den Big-Playern im Audio-Streaming-Segment gemausert. Nach der „Playbar“-Soundbar (Test in 6-2013) und dem Sounddeck „Playbase“ (Test in 8-2017) legen die Amerikaner jetzt mit...

  • günstiger Einstieg ins beste Multi-Room-System, Alexa an Bord
  • zum Musikhören nur eingeschränkt empfehlenswert
  • Surround-Effekte mit Phantomschallquellen hinter den Sitzen sind nicht so die Sache des Sonos Beam. Doch bei der Erzeugung einer großen Klangwolke aus einem kleinen Gehäuse leistet sie Großes. Anders als bei der Play-Base, die sich hervorragend als Ersatz...

  • Abstract:  Das Hotel liegt direkt an der A7-Ausfahrt Kassel Nord und hat viele Parkmöglichkeiten, so dass eine zeitaufwändige Parkplatzsuche entfällt. Die „kleine Funkausstellung“ der Sound Brothers hat sich gerade in den letzten 18 Jahren derartig etabliert, dass s...
