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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    It sounds so much better than you’d think a soundbar this shape and size could sound. One time when watching a movie, I thought a sound was coming from outside! But it was coming from this speaker sitting right in front of me. When I was shopping, I went to the Best Buy store and was listening to the Sonos Beam and other soundbars, and this one sounded the best even though it doesn’t have vertical-firing speakers. I’m so glad I chose this one and didn’t let the listed specifications deter me.

    We nearly passed on this due to its price point. Also, bear in mind it's eARC. If your TV or projector lacks that output you'll need an adapter such as the 4K Arcana 18Gbps from HD Fury. The Beam Gen2 produces absolutely amazing theater sound quality. Ours is ceiling mounted and angled down using the Epson V12H808001 approximately 10 feet from our favorite seating position. Volume, speech and base quality are mind blowing, producing fantastic surround sound effects without additional speakers. We would buy it again, even for the same price. If it were any pricier we would not.

    Excellent Sound - Improvement Over Gen 1

    I already purchased the first generation Beam last year for my bedroom and picked this one up because of the ATMOS and improved voice clarity. I'm not 100% sure that I'm getting the ATMOS experience but the improved voice clarity was immediately noticeable and provides an overall better audio. I'm waiting on a Sonos Arc for the living room and once I see how the ATMOS is with that, I'll come and update my review on it for this. Either way, if you have the first gen, I don't feel like it's super necessary to upgrade but you would be happy if you did. I have these paired with some Sonos One SL for surround sound.

    Really great sound. Atmos is a great feature if you can use it, but most of my streamers don't support it. But the dialogue sounds better and easier to hear.

    Sound quality is really good. Good on bass frequencies and mids. But really wish it even worked with Bluetooth. Keep in mind this works well only with Apple devices.

    Decided to go full Sonos in my home. This replaced a definitive technology studio slim that I was pretty happy with sound wise, but really disappointed with spatially. Even without the surrounds this has far better spatial audio than the DT. I also like the better mid range and generally more full sound. Wish I would have gone this direction in the first place.

    Our great room is 40 x 25 with 22 foot ceilings and this unit coupled with the mini sub completely fills the room. The sound is crystal clear too. Wait - what ….voice controls too!! Every one that visits our Barndo is equally amazed by the sound too. Two of my buddies bought the same set-up after hearing mine.
