I love my Sonos Beam along with a pair of IKEA Symfonisk as rears. They work well as rear surround and also to widen the sound spread with stereo music. I don’t feel I’m missing out by not having the sub to go with it.
How is the balance when watching a movie? I hate that some devices the dialogue is super soft and when there’s sound effects or explosions it’s super loud
on sale at best buy for 349 canadian ( 270 US ) is that good ???? would this sound good with the sub gen3 ? and get the ones SL rears......great review...was wondering between the BEAM or the ARC.....ARC is 999 canadian....BEAM is 349( on sale ).....think i might have my answer.....the room its in is 14x22 feet.... whats your thoughts ?
Yes. It's $150 off for Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Even Sonos proper has the same deal, however, it is back ordered until Feb 2021. Get it where you can as most places are completely sold out!
Does the sonos beam have sound delay? I have a jbl sound bar which has a half-second audio delay and a soundcore which sounds 10 times better but has a 2-3 second audio delay which is aggravating
As long as your Beam is connected to the same Wifi network your Mac is connected you should be able to do it. Simply go to Sound Preferences and select SONOS as your Output Device. It works for me.
i bough a sonos 3 month ago and notices i aint got a remote controller with it so i look around over internet how to use it and all say u need wifi to use it wtf? stupied sound system for that high price sonos cant even send a simple remote control? so i turn the sonos system back and took a jbl 9.1 atmos becuse i dont have wifi and guess what the jbl 9.1 comes with a remote control for half the price and no silly wifi to use it

Can these speakers be used as front facing instead of behind you ?
I was wondering if the sonos beam 1 works with the Sonos one gen 2 speakers?
Yes
I love my sonos beam 😊
Me too! Great compact soundbars. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Does Sonos work without internet, but with WiFi running?
Is it possible to connect a TV and a CD player to the Beam? Say connect the CD player to the TV and then the TV to the Beam?
that would work for the arc as long as you connect it to the tv. I imagine that it would be the same for the beam
Very glad I don't use Alexa or she'd be going off like crazy with the number of times he says "Alexa". lol

Most of the time that’s due to bad mixing, and nothing to do with the actual device.
What about streaming plain MP3s from a mobile device using a basic MP3 Player?
works fine via airplay

Sonos does not have this delay.
Good for movies ?
Yes, with the surround sound setup.
Sonos Beam, Base or Arc are three different sized speakers. They are sized to fill different room sizes.
can you somehow use it as a computer speaker with a mac mini in a way which doesn’t require manually connecting every time?
As long as your Beam is connected to the same Wifi network your Mac is connected you should be able to do it. Simply go to Sound Preferences and select SONOS as your Output Device. It works for me.
So your not using the beam as a stand alone your using a base as well so doesn’t that defeat the object of the review
Robots, we got robots reviewing now!
8 minutes before you talk about the most important feature for a speaker....the sound quality. Yeh just add a Sonos bass for £600

A lot of people moved on from having multiple remotes in their houses and that's OK too
I'd way rather use my tv remote, or my phone, than add another remote to my coffee table
