Doubling as a wireless home theater and a music speaker, the Sonos Beam has built-in Alexa, letting you control it hands-free and set alarms or check the news and weather.  At 2.7 by 25.7 by 4.0 inches (HWD), it has a small footprint and a streamlined look.

Despite its age—it earned a PCMag “Best of the Year” award way back in 2018—it has held up well as a one-piece sound system that packs audio power into a small package. The Sonos platform supports 50 music streaming services, and the top panel has three touch-sensitive controls for playback, track skipping, and volume. It doesn’t come with a remote control, but it can be configured to work with your TV remote control.

While it can’t simulate directional surround sound, the soundbar has four woofers, three passive radiators, and a single tweeter for immersive and clear audio that fills a room. If you’re looking for a powerful but unobtrusive speaker system, the Sonos Beam Gen 1 soundbar is a reliable option.
