Does Sonos Beam take Bluetooth connection?

Best answer by JackWright

Natively, no.
They do this because their target use is multi-room, home theatre and high quality music streaming with up to lossless formats. Bluetooth basically breaks all three of those.

You might be able to find something that is bluetooth enabled that plugs into your TV which will then pass through that audio signal through HDMI... but I haven't yet seen something that does that (not saying the product doesn't exist).

As far as what you can do with Bluetooth... why use it? The Beam will take HDMI audio anyway so using YouTube with Sonos is super easy and you have access to Spotify (and a myriad of other services) natively in the app! You're guaranteed the best audio quality possible then. 🙂

Sonos doesn’t do Bluetooth, for very good reasons, so highly unlikely.
