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.

    Great sound bar! Compact and easy to install. I have Sonos systems in multiple homes with seamless transition using my Sonos phone APP. Well worth the price. Paired with a new Sony 55" smart tv. Almost as good as my Sonos Arc.

    Excellent product. Low profile and easy to install. Now I will say this is not your solution to a home theater system but if you're looking for an upgrade to the TV sound system it's definitely works.

    This soundbar packs a great amount of sound in a smaller living room. My living room is in a row home and works great when paired with a SONOS subwoofer. The app can be a little challenging to navigate at first, but once you have it paired up, it really does elevate your music listening, movie/TV watching experience overall!

    AMAZING Sounds for a small apartment.

    I live in a townhouse and the sound on this Beam Gen 2 sounds amazing. Movies are incredible, music sounds great. Im surprised how big the soundstage sounds for such a small Soundbar. I know some people complain that it is not loud enough, that could be that your channel input is set on stereo instead of dolby 2.0 or dolby atmos. I had that problem and once I changed the channel the sound doubled in loudness. Also I love the nightmode feature where it surprises the loud sounds, I have next door neighbors and like that I can still watch movies without having to disturb those around me. I think this Soundbar is great for a small to medium size living room, its plenty loud for me and I never go above 50% volume since its plenty loud enough without shaking the walls.

    It’s a Sonos, that says it all!!!! Six years ago my wife and I purchased a new Sonos sound system and fell in love with it. A couple of weeks ago we bought a new tv and it has an eArc plug for the sound system. Unfortunately the old Sonos bar did not have that connector. We purchased a different (non Sonos) system that was cheaper than a new Sonos bar. Unfortunately it didn’t meet up to what we were used to. We took that one back and purchased a new replacement Sonos bar. We are so happy now. If you want true high quality sound buy a Sonos system. Yep, it’s expensive but so worth it.

    This is an amazing deal. The sound is so wonderful for a small room, the smart features are so easy to use. I only wish it had blue tooth capability. We tested out many speakers in this category and this was by far the best.

    I would recommend to anyone to buy this SOUND BAR, especially if you have SONOS SPEAKERS. I connected all my speakers to set up surround sound ( AWESOME). The quality of this sound bar is excellent, easy to set up and you can use the SONOS APP easily.

    I ordered an open box and was not disappointed. It came pretty much as a new one and delivery was fast. However, it would not connect because the former owners email was still in their system. I had to call Sonos to get it reset. Even worst, the Sonos app was missing important features in Andriod. The Truplay auto roon eq was only available for Apple. If you're not going to provide a remote, then the app should work the same for all devices. In addition, the Beam didn’t seem to have any surround sound effect that I could hear. And music, although highly defined, was just mono. The optional surround speakers are just too costly. I think there are better options out there for my needs so I returned it to Best Buy. Great experience with Best Buy but not with the Beam.

    Although the Beam (Gen 2) has Dolby Atmos, when compared to the Arc sound bar, you can really notice a difference. The Arc has a much fuller 3D surround sound. I would recommend getting the Arc over the Beam if you don't mind spending double.

    This is the second Sonos Beam I have purchased. Both have been extremely easy to set up and begin listening to music and improving the listening experience when I'm watching TV. I have installed both of them in apartments, and the Beam is a great solution for a smaller space.
