Sonos Playbar vs Sonos Beam

Sonos Playbar review

The first explicit advantage of Sonos in the Sonos Playbar vs Sonos Beam comparison is the fact that the low-profile design of the panel corresponds to the Sonos corporate identity; it has been successfully designed in such a way that it can look relatively flat both when mounted on a wall and when installed under a TV. The Playbar is also one of the few sound panels that convincingly simulate surround sound - it creates the feeling that the room, as if, really has separate speakers. Its output power is 200W. There are 3.0 built-in channels.

Sonos Beam review

What about this pretender to win the Sonos Beam vs Playbar rivalry despite the external simplicity, everything is very complicated inside - this is the signature feature of Sonos. For example, five microphones are installed in the case, which are responsible for interacting with voice assistants and for the operation of the DSP system, but the noise reduction system directly affects the sound quality. Four mid- and low-frequency drivers, one tweeter, each with class D amplifiers. Three bass reflexes here also managed to be hidden. There are 3.0 built-in channels.
