Compact HDMI soundbar with virtual Dolby Atmos height effects / Speakers
Beam Gen 2 remains a sensible compact TV soundbar when its 65 cm width, HDMI control and Sonos music features fit the room. At the current $499 price, I would compare the forthcoming $699 Beam Ultra before buying unless the smaller body or immediate availability is decisive. Existing owners have little reason to replace a satisfying setup.
