I've made the argument for years now that a soundbar is often the biggest single upgrade that people can make to change the quality of their home cinema experience. Loads of us now have great 4K TVs, even if they're not necessarily ranked in our list of the best TVs on the market, but very few of those affordable or midrange displays have remotely solid sound.
If you're looking to get a soundbar to transform how movies and streaming shows sound at home, there are few better choices than the Sonos Beam (2nd Gen), which is compact but extremely impressive – which is why it's a best-seller. Despite being a bit of a stunner, though, that doesn't mean its performance is always perfect without any tweaks from you, the user.
