The quality of the sound from the Sonos is fantastic and greatly enhances the TV experience. I had a JBL unit previously and while solid, it simply wasn't as strong as the Sonos.
My only criticism is the Sonos app, which isn't very intuitive to use. And since there is no remote included with the soundbar the app is your only option.
Getting it set up was as simple as could be...I plugged in the power, plugged it into ethernet, connected it to the TV via the HDMI-ARC port and then went through the Sonos setup in the iPhone app. I was done with the whole thing in just a couple minutes.
And WOW! Our family room isn't giant by any means, but it's not tiny either (it's also kind of an odd shape). The Beam absolutely fills the room with sound and I'm amazed that such a small device can produce sound that seems to come from all directions. I love that it's got a setting where it can be grouped with the other speakers and play music, but as soon as I start using the TV it automatically leaves that group and plays the sound from the TV instead (you can turn this off if this isn't the desired behavior). I wasn't interested in using it with any of the voice assistants, so I can't comment on that. And I don't know if it's the TV doing it or the Sonos, but it's pretty slick that I can adjust the volume from my phone, from the Apple TV remote or from the TV remote itself. Sonos has always felt like such a premium product and the Beam is no different.
Totally happy with this thing!
I live in a 500 sq ft apartment and the sound it emits fills the entire place at 50%-60% volume. I wish I could blast this thing but considering the neighbors, I keep it at 25% and it still sounds great. Enabling night mode makes night time listening enjoyable and living in the city with a lot of ambient noise makes certain dialogue sound muddled; the speech enhancement mode makes a difference in speech clarity.
I don't have a TV, I mainly use this to output sound from my PC connected through the S/PDIF optical port. The accessories it came along with contains an HDMI and an HDMI-S/PDIF optical adapter. The length of both look like it's about 5ft/60 inches; if your Beam is placed farther than this, you may want to consider buying a longer HDMI.
TIP: Being a first time Sonos user, I didn't know how to change audio sources. I wanted to hear the sound from my computer and there was no sound coming out of it and I assumed it's automatic if there is audio coming in from S/PDIF. Searching google, I found out you have to do this manually by commanding, "Alexa, Switch to TV" or through the app under the "Browse" tab then pick the "TV" option.
Playing audio from my iMac, iPad, iPhone, and PC is flawless and I'm looking forward to expanding my setup in the future.
If you get the beam, note that you need to pair your TV remote with the beam afterwards. Just go into the Sonos app settings, click the room you have the Beam in, and sync with the remote. It takes all of 10 seconds and couldn’t be easier but it took me a little while to figure out that I needed to do this in order to use my TV remote to control the TV volume like usual. Hopefully this will save you a little time as well!

I wanted to purchase the sub as well but just couldn't justify doubling the expense just for the sub. Everyone who has listened to them has told me that I don't need the sub and I agree that music and movies still sound fantastic without it. All in all I'm very happy with this purchase.
I would not be bullish recommending the Beam as a standalone purchase outside of a Sonos ecosystem. I think some alternative are worth considering in this case.
SONOS needs to warn prospective buyers of these facts:
There is no manual, nothing in the box but "Go get the SONOS App". Period.
There is no real manual on the SONOS site either. Their introductory video does not include how to operate basic features which they advertise (and maybe the reason you bought it). You will be dependent on help from other users, Google searches, unless you are a trained computer nerd, or under the age of 18. Not good for tech-fearing seniors!!)
If you do not have Apple products with up-do-date IOS (operating system) you will not get full functionality. (See below)
The App requires the latest operating system and cannot even install the product without that. It may take you an hour or more to update and survive the update.
If you are a senior with hearing problems, or anyone having trouble with TV or movie dialogue, you may be considering the Sonos Beam which promises to help increase voice audio and decrease sudden loud sounds. Get set for a struggle, because SONOS makes it really hard to find those features, and they won't tell you how to access them.
THE UGLY DETAILS
First problem: the power cord does not connect well to the unit. The plug falls out easily if you move the Beam (which you will do to plug in your HDMI cable). Each time the plug falls out, it takes the unit up to 3 minutes to set itself up again. Other manufacturers KNOW how to make a power cord that stays plugged in. Dumb design.
Second problem: SONOS does not provide a manual with the unit, and there is no comprehensive manual online. Some features remain a mystery and take a Google search to find out what the heck is going on - from other users.
SONOS does provide a setup video online. That video ends without telling you how to choose the "Night setting" (volume balancing) or the speech enhancement feature (the reason I bought it). You are on your own there.
If you search their site, you will find reference to "Now Playing" on your Iphone, and a way to control those features there. Providing you have an Iphone, and the phone must have the latest operating system, there is no hint on where to find "Now Playing". By the way, if you choose the "Night Setting" on your Iphone, that also kills off any tone warning you have for new messages coming in on your Iphone or Ipad. So you have crippled your phone to set a TV soundbar. Plus, there is no return message, or light on the unit, to let you know of success, that the settings on the SONOS unit have been changed. Nothing indicates what state or mode the unit is in, or whether it keeps those settings next time you turn it on.
If you search the Customer questions database on the SONOS site, several times, you may finally find the mystery solved by a user (not the company): buried deep in the SONOS App, choose "Room", then your TV, and then you will see a "moon" symbol for night, and a box that turns out to be speech enhancement. Nowhere does Sonos tell me how to access the features I bought it for, and that they advertise successfully.
Third: installation nightmares. Because there is no manual, and there are no hardware switches for features, you are entirely dependent on downloading the Sonos App. If you do not have an Iphone or IPAD, certain features will be crippled. For example, Iphone users can do a scan of the room ("Truetone") to set the features for that room. Android, PC, forget it. You don't get that.
The Sonos App ONLY works if you have the latest operating system (at least on Mac products). We wanted to use an IPAD for the controller. But to do that we had to (a) download the latest Mac OS for our computer (thus losing all sorts of saved settings, takes about half an hour) - so we could update to the latest OS for our IPAD (another hassle, just to attach a sound bar to our TV) - and then update Itunes (not an option, you have to do that) - and then download the Sonos App. Total installation time, especially if you are not a computer nerd, about two hours, with lots of frustration.
Fourth problem: you must have a working WiFi network in your home, and you need to know the pasword for it. From what I can see, if you just have a TV and no WiFi network, you cannot use this product.
Five: the company demands a lot of personal information from you (not an option, you can't continue without providing it). They demand your email address, and send a message which you need to open to install the product. It isn't clear what our privacy protection is, or what they will do with the information or my email address. Good luck, - hope they don't sell it to a marketting company or the Russians.
Six: You must also agree to a very complicated user agreement which filled at least 10 screens of our IPAD. We would have had to sit down at the kitchen table for about half an hour to read it. If you don't agree, then I guess you have to ship the unit back. It won't work unless you give in. Nobody reads all that legal crap, so we agree, without knowing what we agreed to. This matters if you are going to use Alexa, because the speakers will be listening to you in your home.
Seven: during the setup, the Sonos App tells us not to worry about error messages that will show up on the screen during setup. They promise later in the installation they will tell you how to avoid such messages when using your TV. But that never happens. I arrived at "Finished" without ever being offered such a process. So now when we raise or lower the volume, a box saying "Not Available!" comes on the screen, and stays there for about 8 seconds, while you are watching a movie, or trying to see your game on TV. No hint how to get rid of that. Nothing on the SONOS web site about that either.
Eight: Your TV has to be pretty new-ish to get the full voice-control to work. Specifically, your TV must have an HDMI port saying "ARC" on it. I could not find one on our Samsung Smart TV (8 years old). I tried to Google my Samsung model to confirm no ARC input port, but Samsung is a jumble of info and doesn't say. There is no easy way to search and find out if your TV model has ARC. SONOS doesn't help with that either.
If you don't have ARC port, then SONOS does provide you with a little cable to convert HDMI to an optical connection. Our TV has that. But nothing in their advertising warns me that some of the voice control available through Alexa will NOT work when using an optical connection.
Bottom line: if you have an older TV (no ARC port) you will get less than they advertised.
Nine: the SONOS advertising says it comes with Alexa. Not really. As far as I can see, it is Alexa-able, but there is no Alexa with it. You have to sign up for Alexa through Amazon, and then go through another set up procedure. That is not explained in the advertising, and I found that misleading.
Did I mention the plug will fall out if you breath on it?
Would reccomend for sure. Hoping for an update on then play bar to add an arc hdmi port this week.
