Sonos Beam Ultra
After using the Beam Ultra in a few very different rooms, I’m impressed by how much it can do on its own.

The verdict
The Sonos Beam Ultra delivers impressive sound for movies and plenty of bass without taking up much space. I’d add surrounds before a Sub, and unless you have a really big room, I’m not convinced you need to spend more on the Arc Ultra.
✓Liked: Low-profile design with physical controls, Strong sound quality, Impressive bass without a Sub
✕Could be better: No HDMI passthrough, Expensive
