    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if you have any thoughts on this soundbar vs the Sonos Beam? It's for a medium-sized living room and not looking for multiple speakers.

    I'd like the second HDMI connection so as to play CDs without going via the TV ARC, but not a deal-breaker if the Sonos is the better product.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for the post Former Former Former!

    I haven't actually heard the JBL running myself but judging on the sound quality of their other components I dare say it would sound fantastic. The JBL does have Virtual Atmos which the Sonos doesn't but then the Sonos will allow you to add wireless rears as well as a multi room system so can be built upon as you go!

    The Sonos Beam does sound great as well and has more features although I wouldn't be able to give an opinion on whether or not the JBL sounds better as I haven't had a chance to demo it yet.

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David
