The Sonos Beam Gen 1 arrived today. Only watched 1 episode of Hatton Gardens job on an ITV catch-up streaming channel. So can't really say I've given it a real chance. Early days yet.
With Night Mode (Night Mode says it increases quiet sections and lowers louder sections of the audio) and with Dialogue Mode switched on.
It does have an effect. It reduces the music levels a bit and the dialogue is a bit more up front. But far from what I was hoping for.
I still found myself using the remote to lower volume during music sections. Some of the music was still ear splitting aggravating.
Haven't played with bass and treble settings yet.
Underwhelmed, so far but like I say, early days. However I suspect the Sonos Beam may not be the Nirvana I am searching for.
Reading a good book instead just might be the answer
