My tv only has a toslink output and not hdmi arc, would the beam work?

Yes, for TVs that don't have an HDMI-ARC port, you can use the included optical audio adapter to connect Sonos Beam to the optical port on your TV.

How does the sound quality of the beam compare to the play 1,3,5 when it comes to just playing music?

Great for music, not just for TV. If I were blindfolded, I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference. A pair of Play:1's probably has the best stereo sound.

What’s the difference between sonos beam and Polk command bar

Price, Price, and more Price. Here is what you need to know about Sonos before you make your purchase. Sonos is a music platform first and TV connection second. If you do not have any accounts with any music streaming services and do not plan on getting them that is 75% of what Sonos does. If you are looking for a TV sound system only this would be a costly investment for that one task. Yes the Beam has Alexa available but so does Polk. The Sonos Beam is $399.00 for the Beam ONLY. If you would like a Sub now you need to purchase the only one that works for Sonos at $699.00. Now.... would you like a side of rear surrounds with that? Sonos you be glad to assist with that for another $300.00 to $400.00 for the Sonos Play 1 or the Sonos One. Grand total for a Sonos surround system that Only does Dolby Digital 5.1 $1398.00 or 1498.00 before taxes and shipping. One other little thing that you would need to be aware of. Sonos is an internet required system. It is controlled from your phone, tablet, or if you have a TV remote that can be read by the Beam. If your internet goes down or your router fails you now have lost connection to your Sonos until internet connection has been re-established. Or you and purchase the Polk for $299.00 that comes with a wireless Sub-woofer does Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby DTS, oh and also has Alexa built in and can stream music services just like Sonos. For the economics of it I have laid out all if the available information. As for how wold like to move forward is depending on you wallet and your patients.

Since this comes with an adapter does it come with a hdmi-arc cable?

Yes, Sonos Beam ships with an HDMI cable included in the box.
