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.

    I use this speaker as a sounbar for my living room tv and as a bluetooth speaker for my phone. It has remarkable sound and very good base quality without needing any subwoofer.

    Sonos Bean Gen 2

    The new Sonos Beam Gen 2 is perfect for my 82 inch Sony. The set up is super easy and it sounds terrific. Also, the ability to use my smart phone as a controller eliminates another remote which makes my wife happy. My next purchase will be the Sonos rear speakers to finalize what should be a great surround sound setup.

    Upgraded from the Sonos beam 1 and at first I was not that impressed. I then started watching more and more content with Dolby Atmos and I noticed the sound was filling up the room more. My family room is 12.6 by 20.6 and for a sound bar this size it was amazing how it filled up the room. Like others said, don't think without up-firing speakers you will get true atmos sound that is unrealistic, but for the price and size of this sound bar you will be pleasantly surprised. Have not true played the soundbar and my sonos one surrounds yet and that should make it even better.

    Great sound. Center channel much improved in the gen 2. Dolby Atmos effect is adequate but not going to blow your mind. Looks great and for a small room is awesome. Better than your TV sound. I have it paired with a Sony A80J which is a great sounding TV but the Sonos makes it better. Sonos just makes great products, period.

    Easy to set up. Great sound for a small room without need for additional speakers. Like the night sound feature which lowers bass and heightens voices so other rooms are not disturbed.

    Sonos Beam is a great product. A little pricey, but excellent quality and clean lines. It was easy to hook up and there are some very nice features. You can control things from your phone or via your TV remote.

    Sound quality is very good for what it is and the ease of setting this up was almost like setting up an apple product. I plan on pairing this with a sub mini soon.

    Bar sounds good with great base but has a slight tin can treble sound that really bugs me. My 150 dollar visio bar sounds better but it's not as powerful. The sonos is a powerful sound bar. I'll give it that and the deep base this little thing gives off it's making me hold onto it.

    Excellent soundbar, we have a sonos sub+ beam setup in our basement and loved it so much we had to buy one for our main living room as well. The soundbar on its own is great but I feel like it needs the bass for total enjoyment. It’s a little spendy but the bass adds such rich sound you won’t regret it.

    The Sonos Beam hits the sweet spot for performance and price in a soundbar. Big sound from a small package. Easy connection/setup. The best app around. Easily expandable down the line with wireless surrounds and wireless subwoofer. Oh, and it streams music like a dream. Worth every penny.

    First Sonos purchase and I was blown away with the range and clarity. True Tone works great. Bass is surprisingly good for a medium sized room but I still plan to add a Sub mini

    Beam Gen 2- LivingRoom no Sub (yet) - thumbs up

    First Sonos purchase - Needed a sound bar for the LG65"CX TV that was moved to the living room. I had been using a Samsung w/ sub that was ok but caused some issues with two different TV's it was attached to. It was either the Beam or the Arc based on reviews and desire to upgrade / add to it in the future w/ sub and back speakers. Arc was too long to fit on the TV stand. After listening to it in Best Buy we opted to purchase the Beam gen 2. Only wish it had an additional eARC hdmi slot. But for what we needed this works great and Grandma is happy. It can crank out the volume for her to hear.

    This is an amazing soundbar. I paired it with my Era 100s and music sounds amazingly. It's good for movies but I eventually ned to get the Sub or sub mini to give movies a tad more punch.

    Previously purchased and returned one of these, not because of sound quality but operational issues. After failed trials with competing products, I decided to try this again, and I’m glad I did. I’ve had no operational issues this time and the sound is great. I’m very pleased with this purchase.
