Don't Buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy!!!!! 2nd one I bought after the 1st one never worked properly, Also bought the Total Care - save your money. Best Buy does not do what the salesperson tells you they will do. They also will not credit your account or refund your money. Store Credit as if I would shop Best Buy again.

Overall disappointment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a disappointment! Not much, if any improvement over the Yamaha add in speaker that I had originally. During broadcast especially commercials there is a disturbing bass thump or drone in the background. It makes the sound intrusive.

Terrible customer service
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could leave Zero stars I would. Product doesnt work without a power cord, and nobody at all of the dozen people I've talked to at Best Buy customer service can send me one.

Sonos Beam full volume machine gun sounds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sonos Beam had a defect that made it suddenly go full volume machine gun sound! It freaked us out. So loud it was unbearable. The awful sound happened on day one while watching a movie. We turned off power and resumed watching the movie only to have the horrible sounds happen again. We boxed up the Sonos and returned it to the store. We did not get another Sonos. We read that the issue is a known issue to Sonos so we didn’t want to try another one.

Returned the item.

Avoid until known issues resolved
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first the Beam 2 was great. After a few weeks of use, we started to experience problems. Randomly the speaker will emit a loud, repeating sound like a jackhammer or machine gun at loud volume and the only way to stop it is by unplugging it. It's happened 5-6 times now, woken up our baby multiple time and scared the life out of our dog. Have been trying to get in touch with Sonos customer service as we're outside the BB return window but within Sonos warranty. This appears to be a known issue across multiple Beam 2 owners that Sonos does not have a solution for. Avoid buying until this is resolved.

Sonos Sucks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is terrible. Doesn't maintain sound during commercial breaks and doesn't come with a remote. Cheap way for a company to save money while charging a lot for the soundbar. Returning for something better.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Sonos Customer Care
Posted .Thank you for writing a review! The reason we don't include a remote is because you can use the remote you're already using. (who wants an extra remote to lose right?) - Beam can learn any IR remote. If you go to the room settings, select the Beam, and scroll down to "remote control set up" in our app. Volume up, down, and mute three times and you've just taught Beam a new remote! As far as audio is concerned we would recommend making sure that your tv is sending the correct audio codec to Beam. If not you can change this under the tv's audio settings. We hope you'll give this a try before returning it. :)

No dialogue out of surround configured speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You should know: When you add expensive Sonos surround speakers to your sound bar, you won't get a drop of TV dialogue out of them. Therefore, they will sit on your shelf as nothing but expensive paperweights, if/when you're watching TV news, for example. If you want dialogue, you have to remove the surround effects, a slow process. There is no toggle. Sonos could engineer the option of letting us get dialogue though surround configured speakers. But whether out of stupidity, or to lure us into buying yet more speakers, they have not done so.

Would automatically switch back to TV speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned it after 4 hours, plus 1-1/2 hour on phone with Sonos, trying to configure it. Would keep automatically switching back to TV speaker. If only had cable TV input connected to HDMI worked fine. Once connected FireTV stick or DVD player to the other HDMI's sound bar would switch back to TV speaker. Yes, speaker was connected to the eARC HDMI. Sonos tech support was useless.
