Review: I've been a Sonos user for years now, and I grow my "estate" slightly each year :-) The kit is not the cheapest, but it's reliable and high quality. I've been hankering after a Soundbar for a while, but couldn't quite justify the cost of an ARC (for a first try of the tech anyway....watch this space!) It took a bit of fiddling to add two Play:1's in as rear speakers - I thought originally that I needed to have them "pre-configured" as a Stereo Pair - I'll save someone some confusion - you don't! Just leave them "separate" and add them as rears in the app :-) Other than that, the sound quality is awesome, and I just need to save up for a Sub now!

Review: The beam was nicely packaged and had a sort of apple unboxing experience to it. In the box are basic essentials would of been nice to see a cleaning cloth like you get with the Sonos sub at this price point. The sound quality is next level for wireless speakers providing amazing bass and clarity, plenty powerful enough for a medium sized room but would recommend maybe adding a sub or some surrounds or upgrading to the arc if you have a bigger room or are looking for the best experience. This sound bar paired with a sub made a massive difference as it allowed the beam to focus on mids and highs while offloading the lows onto the sub. Sonos although expensive provides high quality and the beam is no exception, it feels premium and solid with no vibrations or unwanted noises during use. My only criticism on quality would be that the Matte finish on the top does collects oily fingerprints but a occasional clean with a cloth sorts it out. Setting up is a breeze you just plug it in and once you’ve setup your Sonos account on the app it walks you through the process and is super quick. I had a little issue pairing the one SLs but found that plugging the beam in to an Ethernet port solved any connection issues but once setup has proved very reliable. If you’re considering entering the Sonos home cinema world the beam is a great choice and you won’t be disappointed. Would recommend to anyone looking for that great cinema experience at home without the hassle of running wires across the room and looking a mess.
