Shopping around for a price comparison, you might notice that the Sonos Beam Gen 1 is hard to find. That’s because the Sonos Beam Gen 2 is now out on the market, largely shunting the Gen 1 product out of the picture.
That explains the dramatic price cut for the brand’s original compact soundbar, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider it. It remains a brilliant add on for any smaller or secondary TV set.
We scored the original Sonos Beam full marks (5 out of 5) in our original review. “This Beam is a soundbar does a bit of everything and does it well, excelling at both music and movie soundtracks and fits seamlessly into Sonos’ existing network of multi-room speakers,” we concluded. That still holds true today.
The most instructive price comparison here is between the Sonos Beam Gen 1 and its brothers. At £299, the Sonos Beam Gen 1 is a full £150 cheaper than the Sonos Beam Gen 2. We rate that follow-up highly, especially with its immersive virtual Dolby Atmos support, but is it 50% better than the original? We’re not so sure.
Travelling in the opposite direction there’s the Sonos Ray, which is the company’s more affordable soundbar. At £299, the Sonos Beam Gen 1 costs just £50 more, yet the (slightly) pricier model offers superior connectivity and bigger, more immersive sound.
