The soundbar's compact size, impressive bass, and Dolby Atmos capabilities are also appreciated.

    Easy set up and great sound for a smaller soundbar. Hard to beat Sonos when it comes to Home Theater

    Install to our LG 4K 65 was real easy , the disappointing thing was that I had to use the Fiber optic adapter because the LG does have a HDMI ARC port, but does have a fiber optic port. Loading the Sonos app was easy and the app found the Sonos sound bar immediately. Walked through the setup, found one issue here too. The LG remote is note compatible with the Sonos Beam. But I can control the volume from the app or with our Amazon Alexa. I had the Beam playing 70 & 80s music from one of the Radio stations listed on the app, sound was awesome. Also found my favorite local sports radio station was on the list. Sound is on the LG TV is much clearer and watching movies and concerts is 10 times better now. I will be adding a subwoofer soon.

    I recently added the Sonos Beam Gen 2 to my living room setup, and it's been a fantastic upgrade. Right out of the box, the sound quality is impressive—rich, balanced, and immersive, especially for movies and shows with Dolby Atmos. Dialogue is incredibly clear, and it handles music just as well as TV audio. Setup was a breeze. I just connected the HDMI and power cable, opened the Sonos app, and everything synced up in minutes. The Trueplay tuning feature (if you have an iPhone or iPad) makes a real difference in optimizing the sound for your space. It’s compact but doesn’t feel underpowered. The virtual surround sound fills the room nicely, and it integrates seamlessly with other Sonos speakers if you ever want to build a full system. Pros: Clear, immersive sound with Dolby Atmos Compact and sleek design Quick and easy setup with the Sonos app Excellent for both TV and music Things to note: Bass is solid, but you might want to add a sub if you're really into heavy low-end Trueplay tuning only works with iOS devices

    Big, Immersive Sound in a Compact Package

    The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is an impressive upgrade that delivers rich, immersive sound without taking up much space. Dolby Atmos really adds depth, making movies and shows feel more cinematic, and the dialogue clarity is excellent—even at lower volumes. Setup was quick and seamless through the Sonos app, and the ability to integrate with Alexa/Google Assistant is a nice bonus. It looks sleek, blends perfectly with my TV setup, and easily fills the room with powerful sound. If you want a premium, compact soundbar that brings both music and movies to life, the Beam Gen 2 is a fantastic choice.

    Good quality build, modern design. I’ve heard Sonos is good for music and Bose good for movies, but in my opinion this soundbar sounds GREAT for both! Sound is loud and immersive, sounds like you’re at the movies! Dolby Atmos sounds awesome, even though the beam 2 uses a virtual function for Atmos instead of actual upward speakers! It has good bass, and that’s without adjusting the equalizer in the Sonos app! This soundbar has some cool features through the app that aren’t offered by Bose and other brands. Alexa function works good, and I’m able to control the TV using Alexa. The Wifi at home has not been affected by adding the Beam 2. The White beam 2 looks good, especially if you’re getting the white sub too!

    This was installed in no time, and all the hardware for mounting was included in the package. The sound is great, and a big improvement over TV speakers. As an added bonus you can download their app and there are various radio stations if you just want to play music.

    Great quality speaker. One thing to keep in mind, NO BLUETOOTH connection available. Connects through your network and airplay. If you don’t mind that, it’s very good overall. Anyone connected to your network can easily connect and use it.

    Pretty awsome little speakers. Does everything I need. This high-end soundbar offers excellent sound quality and supports Dolby Atmos. It is also a great choice for those who want a soundbar that can be integrated into a Sonos multi-room audio system. However, it is on the expensive side and does not support DTS:X.

    Sonos Has Taken Over and We Ain't Mad About It

    After a couple of years of being on the fence about whether to take the plunge on this mostly highly regarded soundbar, a proper open-box find made the expense far less difficult to swallow and, viola! Brought it home, hooked it up (easy-peasy), paired our two Play: 1 speakers as satellites, and did the Trueplay dial-in and, dang! Who needs a sub!? The amount of sound and the depth, range, dimension of sound from movies now is amazing. I've heard some surround sound set-ups before and they do sound pretty wild, this is somehow different. More intimate. This isn't our first time with a soundbar/sub set-up. In fact, we've had three different soundbar/sub setups over the past few years and they were ok. Much better than the tv speakers but only just. Now, small sounds emerge from the left or the right, causing me or my wife some uncertainty thinking the sound is something other than the movie. Honestly, neither of us are that experienced with this multi-speaker set up. However, it has grown on us to the point where we are less likely to think a murderer is in the house now. The turning point for my wife was an afternoon when she was at home by herself (me and the boys out on a weekend getaway) and she dialed up some music and sat and read while tunes bathed her in sonic comfort. She officially became a fan. I, a long-time two channel audio cat, am sold on what the Beam and the two satellite speakers do with movies. It's made watching movies - even movies we've seen many times - more exciting and fun. The music side is pleasant enough - more for the convenience than the actual audio quality. It's faithfulness to audio, or rather, enhancement of song and sound, is a wee bit much for me but I take a sip and relax and get over it. So, in short, after a few more Sonos acquisitions, our house has now become a full-fledged Sonos-fueled house and we are glad about it. Except for my office which is still two-channel British hifi only, thank you. Bravo, Sonos! Your stuff is pricey but, I ain't gonna lie, it's sexy.

    Awesome sound bar for an apartment space and studio room, has clear sound quality. Without the woofer it has a great kick in base. Really recommend it. Only drawback is no Bluetooth option.

    Sonos Beam integrates perfectly with my LG OLED C4. Used primarily as a PC monitor, the Beam provides great sound for a desktop monitor PC setup. Watching videos, listening to music, or just PC sounds, the soundbar sounds great.

    Great sound bar. We already had two Era 100 for music speakers when we were looking for a sound bar. They work really well together. The app has some limitations, but overall we are very happy with the purchase.

    A big improvement specially compared to TV speakers or older siundbars, it's great for medium room size with surround and no need for a separate subwoofer. A great feature with Sonos Trueplay makes a day and night difference once performed.

    Looking to upgrade my bedroom soundbar and was always intrigued by Sonos, but quite pricey. I was a bit skeptical on purchase that I would not truly need a woofer, although if this was true, that would be great. Less crap on the floor. And as it turns out, I didn't!. In fact, that would have been to much. The best way to describe the bass is high end headphone bass. It will not, NOT shake your room. But it will be an amazingly great balanced tone. So being that is the whole debate on Sonos, I will just fill in the normals. Sound quality is rich and nuanced. Dialogue is super easy to hear clearly, but does not sound tinny. The app is killer, it has an eq and you can use this as a very easy Alexa or Siri. It is small but powerful. Buy it if you are reading this, you will be thrilled with the direction that soundbars are going. In conclusion, remember when everyone was buying 18 inch woofers for their car so you could get bass? And now that seems lame since you can get a balanced sound with a smart setup? Then this is the adult soundbar for you

    Quick and easy is a goal of mine when I buy a new electronic. The SONOS soundbar met that goal and much more. Connection was simple and the app made it quick to startup. I look forward to adding to my SONOS system with wireless speakers.

    Soundbar Upgrade

    Just switched from the LG SN6Y to the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and I’m honestly blown away. Voices are so much clearer, the surround sound effect feels more immersive even without rear speakers, and setup through the Sonos app was super easy. The soundstage feels wider, and the bass is surprisingly strong for such a compact bar. Plus, the design looks way sleeker in my apartment. Definitely worth the upgrade!
