I bought the Sonos Arc for my bedroom and living room but wanted something smaller for my guest bedroom so I bought the original Beam. It was great but it was missing one feature…Dolby Atmos. The Beam 2 has added Dolby Atmos and improved the vocal audio so now it’s the perfect and best small soundbar. I’ve owned the top of the line soundbars by Samsung, Sony, and LG and they all sounded good for movies but sounded bad for music. None of those brands sells a subwoofer that can hit the low end bass like Sonos. I do have to issue a disclaimer for the Beam 2 and every soundbar available. The Dolby Atmos effect works best with upfiring speakers in a room with low ceilings but it’s limited. If you want the full Dolby Atmos effect you need rear speakers so you create a sound bubble and then you have sound coming in all directions…only then can you tell sound is being placed left, right, high, or low. I purchased the Beam 2, subwoofer, and 2 Sonos Ones so I get the full surround sound experience and it’s great and worth the money. Not only do movies and music sound great but the Beam 2 is great for gaming. When it comes to negatives…I will say it does get expensive to build out the system and the Beam 2 works way better with a sub, rear speakers, or both.

This is a compact soundbar that delivers big sound for its size. It fits nicely under most TVs and looks sleek. The audio quality impresses, with clear dialogue and decent bass for both movies and music. Setup is generally easy - just plug it in and follow the app instructions. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control, which is handy. The Dolby Atmos feature adds depth to movies, making them more immersive. Music playback is good, and you can stream easily from your devices. It also plays well with other Sonos speakers if you want to expand your system. However, there have been issues with the mobile app wich can be frustrating when you're trying to adjust settings or play music. The price is on the higher side for a soundbar, and you might want to add a subwoofer for better bass, which costs extra. The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) offers great sound in a small package, but the app troubles and high price might make you think twice. It's best for those who prioritize audio quality and don't mind occasional tech hiccups.

I was skeptical that a soundbar this size could fill my room, but the Beam (Gen 2) absolutely delivers. The dialogue clarity is the standout feature for me; I no longer have to constantly ride the volume button during action scenes just to hear what people are saying. It integrates perfectly with my existing tech, and the setup was so easy my kids could have done it. It’s the perfect balance of a minimal footprint and massive, high-quality sound—definitely worth the investment if you want a premium theater experience without a bulky setup.
