Review: Sonos Beam Is An Ideal Apple TV Companion

- Is the Sonos Beam the best soundbar for Apple users? With Apple Music, AirPlay 2, and a wealth of other features it certainly could be.

Amazing that the actual review of the sound of the Soundbar is at the end and is like 10 seconds of review
Warren Yeager folks how do you actually expect to get a proper sound evaluation from a UA-cam video? I mean, some guys offer binaural recordings of how certain sound bars sound in the room, but even those just can’t give you a good example. UA-camrs can only describe the sound, then you need to go and check it out yourself in store.
This is a good review that actually mentions the Sonos app. I was surprised by how much the beam relies on the app to run, but it's great to have all of the controls and eq settings in an easy to use menu.
Can you use these with a stereo paired HomePod setup?
Thnx Chris Griffin, great review!
Sonos has done a good job being consumer focused. Love they I can use Apple Music and Amazon music on this & not be locked in
Hola, puedo conectar el sistema sonos al Apple TV? Osea sin tenerlos conectado mediante la TV, pues tengo conectado mi Apple TV a un proyector! Y necesito enviar el sonido a un buen sistema de sonido
I must been doing something wrong. I consume almost all my content through my Apple TV and ever time the Video/Audio are out of sync ☹️ I have to go through settings>video and audio>audio output and pick the Sonos beam from there EVERY single time I change streaming services. Or worse when I pause the show go for a snack and come back. That can’t be right, right? It’s very frustrating. Granted, my TV is an older model and Im using the adapter
Hey, great video! I'm really looking at buying one of these to use with our projector. One thing has been bugging me though - If my Macbook is my media centre and I've connected that to the projector via HDMI for video, can I simultaneously connect the Macbook to my Beam via Airplay for sound only? Thanks
I really dont like the sonos app, but glad it has recently updated to airplay 2 , I was gonna sell mine because of this cause it doesnt even have bluetooth. But now I am happy cause I really like the sound it provides.
Hi, Can you control the sonos beam app when the iPhone is locked? For example if I’m watching a movie on apple tv 4k or Firestick & if my phone is locked can I control the volume with the phone being locked?
How would you compare the sound quality vs your Libratone ZIPP? Any delays casting music to both simultaneously? Thanks a lot.
I wanted it to have a Control Center card like the Apple TV and the HomePod have, but it doesn't seem to be supported by the system. It shows up sometimes but keeps failing saying "AirPlay: Unable to connect to Sonos Beam." I see that it doesn't show up in your iPhone either. Ask Sonos whats up!
cayayofm did you ever get it to show up in your HomeKit? I can’ see it but it’s greyed out and doesn’t do anything. Can’t add Siri to it either
NM E, unfortunately I did not. I actually haven’t seen it in a while. I think a recent update might have “fixed” it. I heard Siri is coming later.
The problem is if you can’t put sound in front of you. Such as a pull down screen
Love my Sonos sound bar! It's 3 years old and still sounds excellent!
chessdude67 isn’t that to be expected from a premium speaker? ^^
I don’t know if it’s the audio or your voice, but it’s a bit hard to listen to. I need to focus a lot to understand what you are saying.
It looks amazing 👌
Really nice!
Can you use both the sonos and the in build soundbar for example from the philips OLED903/9002f etc??
I assume you mean built in speakers, while it may be possible it would create an echo and wouldn’t sound good. What would be the usage case for wanting sound out of both?
6:53 what happened to the fabric???

AppleInsider If my cat did that to my technology it would be dead!!
Calm down people.......I haven’t got a cat!
Nice vid!
Hello Guys, do you know how can I connect my Sonos Beam, sub and a pair of One SL to my Macbook Pro M1 to get losless audio quality? I guess AirPlay must be using some sorts of compression. I dont have a TV to run through all the connections but I still would like to enjoy the full sound experience. Nobody talks about it really.
Thank you for your comments,
Gary
so how do we connect the apple tv. through the tv i guess. and dolby passtrough trough the tv to the beam? could have told us. As this is prob. the most common setting for the title of the video.
You AirPlay it to the Sonos
I'm baffled by the fact that Sonos supports Airplay 2 in addition all the other streaming platforms, yet the Homepod is restricted to Apple Music. No Bluetooth/Aux etc.
Seems under-developed.
Sonos Beam doesn't have Bluetooth or AUX input either. The HomePod is "restricted" to anything you can stream over AirPlay so really you can use whatever streaming service provided they have an iOS app.

Like already stated Sonos doesn’t use Bluetooth either only WiFi.
Its because of the lack of an aux port that I went with a Play5. Now a year later I also have 2 ONEs and the Beam and love them.
Only with Apple TV 4K I have a lot of sounddropouts with the beam. Really don‘t can find out why... But it’s annoying...
Working fine with mine. Is it connected via ARC?
We also haven’t seen this. We are using with Apple TV 4K connected over ARC
@@AppleInsider Yes the Beam is connected via ARC and with TV an PS4, it's working fine. Only with the apple TV it has dropouts. I'm using all original cables aswell. Really strange.
My TV has two hdmis with arc. Try swapping the cables from the Apple TV and PS4 over.
Hi Nice vidéo 👍👍👍
wtf did this have to do with Apple TV? :/
Hungry?
Eat your Apple
Lol so it still has no HomeKit practicality to it? What gives then?
What tv does he have
Just dropping by
Could I put it on the wall?
Yes!
This dude sounds like Chris Griffin
right!!!😂
Lol
His voice was way more interesting than sonos beam
Would this look strange with a 65 inch TV?
Downside no Atmos no extra HDMI ports and pricy and Eco-friendly plastic and compressed must sounds crappy lost cause. need to make out of wood/metal
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Got this piece of junk last week. Returned it next day. Music sounds terrible (worse than 5year old 2.1 Trust speakers on my PC). And it straight up didnt work in ARC port on my Samsung 2017 TV.
IT SUCKS, DONT BUY.
This video didn’t tell me shit
design looks like something that belongs in a hospital
