Customers are saying

Customers value the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos for its unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and simple setup. The soundbar's compact size, impressive bass, and Dolby Atmos capabilities are also appreciated. However, some customers have reported occasional connectivity issues, and a few find the soundbar to be somewhat expensive and would prefer it to include a physical remote.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Had some adjustments to make. I wanted to equalize the sound for the room but couldn't find any controls on the sound bar. Eventually I found what I needed in a downloaded software.

    I’ve had an Arc and Beam for a little over a year now. Sonos did a massive change to their app which controls the device and now the products have audio connectivity issues. To fix this, I must re-pair everything which takes time. The sound is excellent when it works. I suggest Bose until Sonos fixes this mess.

      Posted .

      It’s frustrating when app updates disrupt the functionality of your devices. Here’s a step-by-step guide to address the connectivity issues with your Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Arc:

      Reboot Devices: Start by rebooting your Sonos Beam, Arc, and any other related devices (router, phone/tablet). Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

      Update Firmware: Ensure all your Sonos devices and the Sonos app are updated to the latest firmware and software versions. Updates often fix bugs and improve performance.

      Reconfigure Network Settings:

      Check Wi-Fi: Make sure your Wi-Fi network is stable and the signal strength is strong where your Sonos devices are located.
      Network Band: If possible, connect your Sonos devices to a 5 GHz network rather than 2.4 GHz, as it can offer better performance.
      Re-pair Devices: If re-pairing is necessary:

      Unpair and Reset: Remove the Beam and Arc from the Sonos app, then perform a factory reset on each device (usually done by holding down the connect button until the LED flashes orange and white).
      Re-add Devices: Follow the setup instructions in the Sonos app to add them back to your system.
      Check Sonos Support: Look for any known issues or ongoing fixes related to recent app changes on the Sonos support page. They might have specific instructions or workarounds for recent issues.

      Contact Sonos Support: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, reaching out to Sonos support directly is a good idea. They can provide tailored troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue if needed.

      I hope this resolves your concerns and thank you for being a loyal Sonos customer! john.milton

    The bar alone is not worth the price. To get the full effect, you have to add on several pieces, which makes the system even more expensive.

    I received an "excellent condition" open box and unfortunately it had a rattling sound whenever bass notes were played. I kept it for 10 minutes after set up and returned it for the Arc. In hindsight I wish I held off until more new Beams were in stock as the arc is better but for my split level living room it makes little difference as I could have purchased a mini sub to go with the Beam. The rest of the frequencies were as impressive as advertised and reviewed which is why I still gave 2 stars for the quick return at the store.
