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.

    The Sonos Beam is excellent. The sound quality is amazing to the point where we are not using our close caption option due to the clarity of the sound. Also, the customer service person assisting us in the sale was very knowledgeable and helped our family with the purchase. Allen

    Great Small Room Soundbar

    This is our 4th Beam. We love the ease of connecting, the easy to use app, and the quality of sound. Paired the Beam with a Sub Mini in a bedroom for incredible sound. All our sound systems are Sonos (Arc, 4th Gen Sub, 2 Era 300s in main room, 2 Era 100s in kitchen, 2 amps 2 Beams downstairs for outdoor entertainment). Love how we can combine all to play same audio or zone each to different sources. If you are in the Webster / Clear Lake / League City Texas area, go to the Webster store and ask for Justin. He is great and will hook you up!

    Great sound for the tv and also playing music. I gave it a 4 star because I had trouble 1 day where it didn't see the tv and I had to unplug it then all was great and been great since don't know why it did that.

    Great, rich sound. Picked up a small wall mount to put it directly below the TV to help manage cables and have the sound coming more from the tv direction. Fantastic

    Sonos Beam 2,Era 100,Mini Sub System

    System installed in an open area family room adjacent to a kitchen and nook area. Family Room 20’x16’. Essentially, plug in, follow intuitive app install instructions & learn the easy to follow instructions to play the system from the TV E-Arc connection & your favorite streaming app. Immersive, high end audio experience. Buy bigger & more expensive if you want to. I took the minimalist approach for the white decor, size & decor. The appearance & audio experience not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. I tried the Era 300 for the room size. The speaker footprint looked out of place and the audio was overkill for what I wanted for this room. Of Note: I use the Era 100 as surround sound speakers. You can adjust the audio level for music and TV in the surround audio setting. Go to the sound section for all the audio settings & have at it to your liking. Lots of questions about the Beam E-Arc cable to the TV (me: LGC1 65”) cutting out the use of Bluetooth headphones (For me: AirPod Max) connected to the TV. My solution: from the Beam, connect the male end of the hdmi cable, not to the E-Arc port of the TV, but to a 2nd hdmi cable that is female on one end and male on the other. Get the length of your choice. Plug the male end into the TV E-Arc port. I taped the cord mid level on the back left side of the TV with plenty of length & slack on the female end. Insert the beam male end into the female end and subsequently received immediate Sonos Beam connectivity using the TV & music app. With the TV in the off position, I reach around inches to the rear left side of the TV, pull on the connected hdmi cords & disconnect them. The cords remain within inches of each other for later reconnection. With the E-Arc cable unplugged, the TV resorts to its audio and bluetooth settings. This allows me to watch movies after hours, using the bluetooth headphones. After movie watching, I turn off the TV, take 10 seconds to reconnect the cables and I’m back online with the Sonos system. Remember, it’s TV E-Arc enabled devices sending audio over an hdmi cable to home theatre sound systems (ie Sonos systems.) Hope this is helpful for someone out there.

    The GOAT of Sound – Sonos Beam Delivers Big

    I don't usually write reviews, but the Sonos Beam deserves all the praise. This soundbar is hands-down the GOAT of home audio. The sound is crystal clear, with deep bass, crisp highs, and perfect balance—whether you're watching movies, gaming, or streaming music. It fills the room with immersive sound without needing a massive setup. Setup was super easy, and the sleek design fits seamlessly into any space. I also love the smart features—Alexa integration, Apple AirPlay 2, and smooth connectivity with other Sonos products. If you're on the fence, don’t be. The Sonos Beam punches way above its size and price point. It's a game-changer. Best Buy, you nailed it with this one!

    This device gives you exactly what you pay for and I mean that in the best kind of way. Yes you can get a more expensive soundbar for a full movie experience but for day to day tv watching this sound bar works great. Be sure to utilize the app to adjust the speaker to your preferred settings. Out of the box settings were not great but after making adjustments in the app it works great. Also the connection through iPhone to play music anywhere in the house has been seamless as well. Overall I recommend if you are not looking for a speaker to provide a movie theater style experience but allows for great sound for tv, sports, and music.

    The Beam 2 was very easy to setup and the TV and streaming music sound in our living room is now amazing! We have an LG 4K TV that seamlessly integrated into the Beam 2 and our CATV provider. The only issue is we haven't figured out how to get the volume level to appear back on the TV screen when we adjust it. Full disclosure, we already had owned a Sonos Amp which was driving a pair of (non-Sonos) indoor ceilling speakers in our living room, but only for streaming audio services via our cell phones (no TV connection). So we purchased the Beam 2 to integrate with Amp and those spreakers, as rear surround sound speakers, and after a couple of tried, we got it to work, and it's amazing.

    This soundbar sounds great, especially for it’s size. I think it lacks bass, but that’s a personal preference. I have added the Sonos sub to supplement the bass. I love it size, performance, Dolby Atmos support, setup was easy, and it’s a great way to start in the Sonos eco system. I wish Sonos devices were cheaper and had longer warranties but they have a good reputation so…

    Easy to set up…really easy. Almost plug and play. Sound is good. Think you may want to add a small sub for deeper bass. If you can manage the additional cost one of the arc sound bars may provide a better experience. .
