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.

Cool System, BUT
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a very good system, WHEN IT WORKS. Have had this combined with Sonos Sub Mini for 5 days and have had to unplug devices 3 times already as it seems as if the Samsung S90C and Sonos do not jive. At this price point these systems should work without issue. On with support right now, but this $1,000 purchase will be returned if it cant be resolved.

Garbage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plugged it in and it worked great for about 45 min, it cut out and wouldnt come back on. You hit the power button and it tries to come on but the light goes red and does nothing.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked for 3 months. Then my Sony A80J could not connect to it. Message was system unavailable. Best Buy Techs were great tried to solve the problem. Two separate visits by two different techs and over 2 hours of trouble shooting and the problem was not resolved. They even brought a new unit to try and nothing. In my opinion and from my experience with Sonos support and the Sonos Beam Gen 2 ,it really is an inferior product in comparison to some of the other options available to you.

Not worth it at a much lower price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not good sound - bass is too high, and I had to turn it down to zero. The rest of the audio is distorted, as though it were coming through a plastic tube. No dice with this one.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We would recommend checking the tv audio codec output in the sound settings of your tv to ensure we're getting the proper audio codec and sound is being sent properly to the Beam. Please feel free to head over to sonos.com/support and reach out to us whichever way you prefer if issues persist.

Posted .Hello, While most TVs are compatible with Sonos home theater speakers, some may need additional configuration or may not work with Sonos. Here are some basic requirements when using Sonos speakers with your TV.
If you do not see some of the ports of menu options mentioned below, consult your TV or external source device’s manual or manufacturer support for help.
TV requirements
The Beam requires a TV with an HDMI ARC port in order to utilize CEC, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to control your TV. If your TV does not have an HDMI ARC port, you can Beam to a digital optical audio output using the optical audio adapter (only included with Arc and Beam). You will not be able to control your TV using CEC or voice when using the optical connection. If you encounter issues related to HDMI ARC during setup, see our article about troubleshooting HDMI ARC errors at support.sonos.com.
I hope this helps.
Disappointed Buyer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One year and 2 week old Beam Gen 2 purchased from Best Buy. Watching TV with wife and suddenly a very loud Zap came from Beam startling us. Afterwards sound from Beam was distinctly changed. Bass response was lost and voice quality became more hollow and high pitched sounding. Trying to get help from Sonos support but it’s been hard.
