According to our soundbar expert
You can use the Sonos Beam to select the sound reproduction for your movies, series, or music tracks. The soundbar has a standard mode, night mode, and a speech amplification mode. In night mode, the bass sound is automatically reduced. The voice enhancement mode boosts conversations, improving stand-up shows, talk shows, and series. The integrated Google Assistant allows you to control your music or inform about the latest news, traffic information, or the weather. You can stream music directly via Airplay 2, Google Chromecast, SonosNet, or Spotify Connect via WiFi and connect your smartphone or tablet with the speaker. Connect the Beam to other Sonos speakers for a home cinema or multi-room setup. You can easily control all of the speakers via the Sonos app on your smartphone or tablet.
Note: Sonos products don't work via the 5GHZ network. Always make sure that your WiFi is installed on the 2.4GHZ network before purchasing a Sonos product.
Connect the Sonos Beam to your TV
Use the included HDMI ARC cable or the included optical cable to connect your soundbar to your television. Your TV should have an HDMI ARC or optical connector to be able to use the Beam.

Always wanted to install a SonoS system at home after experiences at others' homes. However, the price of a Playbar has always kept me (read; my girlfriend) from it. So after the release of the Beam decided (read; persuade my girlfriend) to buy one.
Unpacking was a joy in itself. I myself had missed the delivery person so I still had the confetti left (thanks for the tip CoolBlue) to make unpacking the Beam even more festive.
After installing the SonoS app, I followed the steps neatly and the whole thing was beeped and connected, really child's play.
I hung the Beam under the TV without a special mount, so that it stands with its top forward, as is also the case in the 18th photo. However, I was curious if this would actually work. And it works great, especially ideal that sound also comes out on the sides so that I also have good sound when I just come out of the kitchen.
All in all, highly recommended and I will be expanding my SonoS home network very soon (read; if my girlfriend allows me to).

The beam is highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a more than decent soundbar that also looks good and has some nice extras.
The sound is above average, but it is also not the very best thing you have ever heard. I had expected a little more bass (which was to be expected, but I think an extra subwoofer is comparatively too pricey), but since I've only recently received it, it might also be a bit early to really judge it well. It is (of course) nothing to compare with sound from the TV. I linked it to 2 play one boxes to get a surround effect. Short test done: simply great!
In any case, take the time (only a few minutes) to set up True Play, it really does make a difference.
If I had to look for a downside: a pity that there is no dolby atmos support... but that's about it. If your living room is a ballroom, it may not really "make it" to be truly room-filling.
Anyone who already owns something from Sonos knows the ease of use, and that is no different with the Beam. Airplay 2 support is also a real added value (if you have Apple at home). Finally just being able to listen to youtube (and all other things you can play on the ipad/iphone) via the sonos. Sonos has no equal in ease of use.
In short: if you are looking for an affordable, rock-solid soundbar that also has that little bit extra (ease of use, design, airplay 2,...), don't hesitate!

After reading the reviews about this soundbar (also on other sites) I decided to purchase it. The (relatively) not too high price for a Sonos device, combined with being 'ready' for the future and the reviews about the beautiful sound and ease of use, in particular, were decisive. I have to say: all points are 'right' as far as I'm concerned and I'm very happy with it! Immediately took out a 'family' subscription to Spotify and an endless world full of music possibilities has opened up. Connecting and setting up was easy, you will be guided through it step by step with the Sonos app.
