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.

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a good mid-range soundbar for small to medium-sized rooms. It’s not bulky and setup is very simple. It is perfect for my 55-inch TV and will consider adding the Sonos Sub Mini in the near future.

    I bought this soundbar for my new Sony bedroom tv . It sounds fantastic. Has a lot of bass, if you use the equalizer with the Sonos remote app on your phone. I am all about the bass. For the bedroom this soundbar is fantastic. I have the bigger more expensive Sonos one SL speakers , Playbase with Sub in my family room which is like being in a movie theater. Though i don't like the fact that Sonos aren't bluetooth the fantastic sound is worth the trade off. I went from Bose to Sonos. I would never go back to Bose. Love the sound. I highly recommend this Beam 2 for smaller rooms. Pricey but worth it. Need better instructions for setting them up . Took me over 3 hours to set them up . I purchased open box with no instructions. Found manual on line but was still a pain to set up for me !!

    Good sound, clunk App

    This is a good quality sound bar, with good sound a bass response. Once it was set up, it worked well with our TV connected to an Apple TV. There are a few reasons I didn’t give this unit 5-stars. 1. The set up software was clunky at best. One needs to download an App for a phone or pad of either variety to access the setup software. I have some experience working with confused Apps, but I don’t think my wife would have managed to figure out how to set it up. Luckily, once the setup and connection are complete, the App is really not needed. 2. As the unit goes to “sleep” after use, so there is a small delay in response before the audio starts. Start a video, and the first few moments of audio are lost until it wakes up. I expect that I could force it awake using the App, but it seems pretty daft to need to have my iPhone around to run an app so I can listen to a video on my TV. 3. The inputs are limited. I realize that a more expensive Sonos model would offer additional input methods. Just saying this unit has limited inputs. Ultimately we have learned to live with these issues and do enjoy the audio. Since it mostly works automatically, it is a LOT better than the previous sound system I had, which was a stereo receiver. Using that system required way too many steps to get things working. So it is recommended.

    Replace my Samsung system that was difficult to make out simple sounds. The sound on this is amazing. You can here every detail of whatever you are watching. I also love the Bluetooth and interconnect ability with Sonos.

    For what it is, it is fantastic. If you’re looking for a small low profile sound bar that actually sounds great, this is the one. It truly is small, barely takes up any space, and sounds amazing. I love the connectivity to my phone also, nice touch to mess with the EQ and what not if you needed to right from your phone. Overall, very happy. Especially for my small game room.

    HDMI is designed to block the audio signal output from your AVR as it distributes the Video & Audio out to One primary TV, or monitor. On the TV you need to insert the SONOS cable into an ARC-output, and select HDMI 2, or 3, as your new TV input. > BOOM! it's really loud and full, but the phone app works miracles and lets you set Max volume. Suddenly, you realize who needs more silver or gold!

    Got this as a house warming gift, and they couldn't be happier. Big, balanced sound without distortion or crackles, even at high volume. Setup was quick and easy. Surprisingly, having no dedicated remote is actually a plus as there's one less device to keep track of; just use the HDMI ARC port and your TV remote can control it. Great device and great value all around!

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) - is Great !!

    The new Gen of the SONOS BEAM is Awesome, well the previous models are great too. Since my space to watch TV is very small the Sonos Beam is the perfect sound bar. The sound is great, the bass is great and using the Sonos app you can add the One Sonos surround speaker and that would be the perfect match. Make sure you do the tuning using the Sonos app. Overall the Sonos Bean is a great option, I know id not cheap but the sound is great from such a small sound bar.

    Got this for my parents to vastly improve the sound of their TV. They don't have a full receiver setup, but this produced all the sound quality they needed. They have a fairly tall ceiling, but it's flat, which allowed Dolby Atmos to work very well. I calibrated it using the app and couldn't have been happier. It's very simple and with the HDMI eARC connection on their new tv, the tv handles everything and just passes the audio through, no extra remote to worry about.

    I was impressed with the overall sound but it was a bit pricey $$$. Upon setting up the device i realized there's no on/off button nor a physical remote control, i had to use my phone as a remote which is a pain especially when you'd like to put the phone away, chill and watch a movie. The very next day the device didn't recognize that it was connected to my television, so i called tech support and they told me it was a bad HDMI cord. WRONG! The device suddenly started to play after a few hours, so id say that is definitely a connectivity issue. I was also told you could pair the device with your smart tv w/o a HDMI or optical cord. WRONG AGAIN!! It does not do what other soundbars do in this price range. WEIRD! After all these things happened I was no longer feeling it. IT'S A NOGO'S FOR SONOS

    The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is just what we needed to get better sound from our tv shows and movies. We previously had surround sound equipment set up but it all was just a bit much for our small living room. The Sonos Beam won’t take the place of a complete setup but it won’t disappoint either if you are looking for minimal equipment with great sound. If that is what you are looking for this sound bar won’t disappoint!.

    I’ve been looking for a small sound bar that keeps a low profile while still having great sound and the sonos beam gen 2 does just that. It knocks out my tv speakers and gives me better sound clarity that i didn’t even know i was missing out on and with the ability to add future upgrades like subs and surround sound setup its awesome investment if you like sonos products. Only downside is that connecting to apple airplay can be a bit annoying for me.
